Shockingly, 28,625 of you visited 74,243 different pages on orangecountyconcepts.com during the month of November. That is down significantly from our glory days, but still a mystery to me considering we haven’t updated since Familiar Joe’s post about the Electric Zoo festival in September. At least our last post was in September, MiamiNights.com hasn’t had a post since June, and DrinkUpOrlando.com and Defame Orlando are like, non-exhistant now, hmmm how things change. So where are you getting your gossipy news now Orlando nightlife people? How are you surviving without our witty, insulting, sarcasm?

So you may ask yourself, what is going on with Docta Dawe, dLux, E. Sprad the photographer, Matt Phillips, Chris Callahan the photographer, and the rest of the bloggers that faithfully brought the city of Orlando entertainment for over a year here on OCC. Well, we are at a crossroads… That is:

Revive OCC?

Move on to a new project?

Its been a tough call. As many of you know I have been sidelined for a few months with a medical thing, (See http://www.orangecountyconcepts.com/2009/03/29/docta-dawe-public-service-announcement-2/) and will be returning to the DJ world around January. Until then I plan on doing a lot of nothing and really would like to get back to blogging. Soooo with that being said I will be announcing how I plan to do that over the next few days…

Personally, I would like to create a new blog, one that is not over run with comments from Russians about where to score viagra on the low low. I also would love to do something with my past collaborators… (even Kaypee), we did have a lot of fun here on OCC, and I think that really came across through our blogs. Anyways, hopefully this little thought from my head will catch on to the revival, or to a new project…. either way, my person/temporary blog will be up and running soon, but will mostly focus on my cancer treatment. So lets get this party started again my Orlando blogger friends!!

A brief recap:

February 2009, the Student Workers Club of Boulder High (Boulder, CO), petition the county school board to change the name of the school from “Boulder High” to “Barack Obama High”.   The school’s SWC president says

“the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth to commemorate both the role he had in making the election of Barack Obama possible and the social progress that has been made since he issued the emancipation proclamation.”

Boulder High principal Bud Jenkins retorted with an ever-supportive:

“With all due respect to the president,” the principal added, “of all the things in the world that need to be changed, Boulder High School’s name is probably way down the list.

This campaign came almost on the heels of Long Island’s Ludlum Elementary changing their name to, clevery put, “Barack Obama Elementary School”.  That’s right.  “The students wrote mock debates and watched the polls and were excited to do something they could feel pride in”, a parent said.  On another note, the schools population is 62% Hispanic and 36% black African-American.  I believe the remaining 2% of the students child prodigies must be somewhat divided between these three socio-economic groups:

Recently, the Young Conservatives of Texas spoke out against a bill which would rename a portion of Interstate 20 in honor of Obama.One of the YCT’s Directors had this to say about the bill:

“Finally, naming memorials for sitting politicians is not consistent with American traditions. We believe it represents the dangerous trend of Americans blindly worshiping politicians rather than diligently holding them accountable to the best interests of the nation.”

The above-quoted Mr. Ed Oden (if that is your real name), also a champion of the obvious, offered this interesting musing:

“Soviet Russia erected hundreds of statutes of Stalin while he ruled. In Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, one would drive down the Saddam Hussein Expressway to the Saddam Hussein Airport… You don’t find this in America.”

Hmm. Very poignant indeed.  I’ll have to keep abreast of that situation.

Fast forward… circa summer 2009, Orlando.

Well, while we didn’t build a statue, Orlandoans now have something else to bitch about.

We the people, of the City Beautiful, now have our own piece of history.   Congrats!

Apparently this has been official since late May, but no one I know has seen this, and the sign looks as if it was just built last week.   Moving on…

It was a unanimous vote, partly spearheaded by Orlando’s favorite racist hypocrite beeyatch, Commissioner Daisy Lynum. [For those of you who don’t know her career has been a little scuffed when it comes to the subject of racial lines, as you can read here and here.]

Anyway, I briefly heard about this a month ago, but nobody knew exactly where it was.  A quick Google Maps search on my iPhone (apparently the B.O. Parkway is in the MMS messaging update?) yielded no such luck:

Hmm.. Not quite what i expected.

No fear, just head down Conroy road to the “old” intersection of Conroy Road and Mission Road.  And you will be greeted by this:

All 800 or so feet of it.   Ahh, what a fitting honor.  A street driveway with nothing on it.

“Yet”, says the City of Orlando.  They plan to expand on it.

 Although anyone that’s driven on the 408/417/528/E. 50/Turnpike/W. 50/Church Street/Downtown/I-4/pretty much any street that’s not in Windermere, knows that that statement is bullshit bullshit (let’s be honest.)  And by the time that B.O. Parkway is “filled out”, America will be caught up in a maelstrom of some other razzle-dazzle politician, and we will be chomping at the veritable teat and/or teabag of whoever the next great worthless hopeless politician with enough panache to send us to the polls in record numbers, blindly just voting at the next great white biracial Muslim philandering draft-dodging smoke-but-not-inhaling eskimo female (just not Palin, please) hype.

Happy driving Orlando!  Oh, and click it or ticket!  That 0.2mi stretch of road is dangerous. Until we can get one of these up… take it easy out there.

Special K and company have been promoting their pool party pretty heavily over the last week. They have gone through 5,000 flyers in 3 days, which is pretty respectable in the promotional world. I know they have high hopes for this event and have put a lot into the promotions, and the actual event itself. Its a little different that the last few pool parties I have been involved in, its not at an apartment complex, it is on 5 acres of private party. So if your looking for another Saturday pool party this is the one:

BREAKING NEWS: Special K will be wearing his new shoes!!

MORE BREAKING NEWS!!!: Special K will be doing the oil wrestling himself!! Word is he has been practicing with other hot steamy men… here is an exclusive photo of him practicing today!

Also a note about OCC photography - Photos from last weeks pool party @ Arden Villas, DJ Deville @ The Kennedy in Tampa, and from tomorrows party will all be up and online by Sunday night. Sorry for the delay.

Here is a couple of noteworthy events today.

Arden Villas Independence Day Splash Pool Party w/ Docta Dawe, Justin James, and Kid Juda

What better way to spend 4th of July than at a East Orlando pool party!! If you have been to the last two pool parties we were involved in this summer, you know we do it right. If you forgot how crazy they were, just check out the pics here and here. Soooo we decided to do it again, and at a different location. This time its going down at Arden Villas and will pretty much be an all out free-for-all. Bring your floaties, and your beer goggles, because its going downnnnn with free beer all day as your serenaded by the sounds of Kid Juda, Justin James, and Myself, DJ Docta Dawe. $10 all you can drink beer, all day. (12pm-6pm, $10 all u can drink beer, Arden Villas Apartments, 3303 Arden Villas Blvd, Orlando, FL)

Justin James promises to bring enough chest oil for everyone this time.

B-Live: A-Trak, Matt & Kim, DJ Jazzy Jeff

Via the Orlando Weekly: Bacardi, the propagators of the liquor that launched a thousand rap lyrics from artists grateful for a word to rhyme with “party,” presents its free concert series with headliner A-Trak. The turntable wunderkind and paramour of Kid Sister is a marvel to watch behind the decks, and you couldn’t ask for a better master of ceremonies on a hot July Fourth holiday. In addition, the Bacardi B-Live lineup boasts the hummable talents of Brooklyn duo Matt & Kim, whose last stop in Orlando landed the Matt half in the hospital with back injuries. (His publicist says he’s better now but that our city should take it easy on him.) Also on the bill is Will Smith sidekick DJ Jazzy Jeff, who posted on Twitter that the plug had been pulled from his June 6 Kansas City set for spinning hip-hop. A plethora of excuses were offered by the venue – he was asked beforehand not to play rap; the sound mix was too loud – but Jeff called it censorship. The incident landed the winner of the first-ever Grammy award for rap back in headlines for the first time in decades, and not a moment too soon. Jazzy Jeff has continued his post-Fresh Prince career with class and mastery, mentoring countless young artists and releasing a stellar hip-hop–soul album in 2007. Of course, if Jazzy Jeff doesn’t spin a little “Summertime,” feel free to pull his plug again. (A-Trak, Matt & Kim, DJ Jazzy Jeff; 9 p.m. at House of Blues; all ages; free; 407-934-2583; www.hob.com)
