this looks like fun.

Okay. I can see there is some friction there. Have to admit I haven't been to the Chesterfield parties. But I do agree that originality is key, and duping another night's name is lame.

Well, if there's no dress code, DEFINITELY sneakers.

Migs

It's definitely a swing to the Marlin to check on Jask for a bit- then off to shake it in the back room at Crobar...

Crobar with good music in the back room? Good things DO come to those that wait... .

Count me in.

Mazi_ most definitely.

go figure_ promotion.

yeah phrankadelic, it was sweet_ although Richest Man In Babylon is not my favorite track on the album

Just dropping a line to see who caught Conan last night_ Thievery Corporation and the crew were on.... any thoughts?

FIRST OFF..You're dreaming if you think Mickey would let O-town stay out till 6am. The cutofff is 2am unless the place serves food. You can't even venture outside with your drink, unless you enjoy the clink. I used to live downtown so I can tell you the places that go off [although I am SLIGHTLY partial because I used to spin at most of these venues]- as far as 18+ you might be SOL. The Social- Used to be The Sapphire Supper Club. highly recommended on Tuesday night for Phat n Jazzy with DJ BMF- a mix of old skool hip hop and acid jazz. SKY60- If you want to see and be seen, this place is ideal. It's on the rooftop above BarBQ Bar- the entrance is between there and The Social. Some of Orlando's best DJs spin there- including Guillermo, MOT, and Q-Burns. On Tuesdays they usually link up with Phat n Jazzy. knockknock- Anyone who really likes music knows that knockknock is the best place to go to hear good tunes and get smashed. no hassle, no attitude, no cover. But the doorguy can be a dick if you're the type to wear baggy JNCOs. deep house, downtempo, funk. AKA Lounge- On Pine Street. small door next to the Pine Street Dive, er, I mean bar. It's nice and hidden and caters to some of the better underground parties- usually thrown by the hoochies [hoochieproductions.com]. AKA is nothing like downstairs, it's very cool.. experimental hip hop, acid jazz, deep house, alternative. If you like redundancy and foot-dragging sluts, go to Antigua. If you like 80s and retro- hit up Barbarellas or Have a Nice Day Cafe [also sluts, but the Tri Delt type]. The Delts also like to hang out at Tabu, but only go there if you worship DJ Sandy and his fukt up hair. Level VIP is always chill, but if you don't know anyone you're likely to catch attitude- also major attitude at Zinc. Blue Room is a great place to go for breaks and to dance off your booze before driving home. Hope I helped.

Have to agree about the sound system. They need to rework it before conference. And if you're into tech house, then Miss Molotov will work your eardrums. [she's a trip, too.] Larry- who runs the night- is a good guy. It's a chill atmosphere, however it's too small to really spend your ENTIRE evening there.

tbooty_ do you guys have a flyer yet [if so, i'll flood it a little to all my deep haus heads]? Oh, and laliux- I wasn't downing DHM + Harvey, they kick arse. I just wanted to know so that I can plan... especially if the main floor [which i heard, is dancer's paradise] is kicking.

funk_ you're a trip.

Yes, Virgos are quite smooth.[Aug 25] ..

Harvey + DHM @ Maze? Now that sounds interesting. Who's playing downstairs that night?

eddy_ Why don't you put up a flyer of the night? What kind of tunes do you play- ghetto rap or positive hip hop?

Those sound nice- do you ever venture on the Charles Schillings [and his orchestra] side? Why is it that I have to be at black-tie on Saturday instead? [At least they're having a four piece and a funk band....] Have you guys considered the room upstairs at Maze? [i know I'll have to come out for Demi, Mono, + Duque on the 24th as long as they keep it deep for a while.] I've heard that they're giving a lot of opportunity to crews to establish a residency- based on their pull at the door.

the maze website is horrible. if they want to kickass and take names they're going to have to get with the program. _sorry, had to say it. [Keep your site updated so at least I can find out who's spinning THIS weekend- not your opening night?]

This might shape up to be a nice lounge atmosphere if they can pull off a dancefloor. Am I to believe there might actually be deep house and acid jazz in one evening?

Okay. So has there been a space cleared out for dancing, mrjoebudious? The ountourage may check it out if I can guarantee ample dance space._Happy New Year, CP-

I think that having a 'mini-party' in the upstairs room is a great idea for Maze. Keeping it a little off the commercial side will eventually bring a strong following if the parties are promoted properly. For quite some time now, people that used to go out 3 or 4 times a week stay home or chill at a friend's because there's better music- or at least a more consistent vibe. Good weekly parties that create a buzz and a community are made through consistency. Being able to know that on any given week, a clubber can drop by said party and be guaranteed good tunes in their slightly-specific genre is KEY. Residents that constantly change up their records [keeping a few cheaters] but keep the same vibe- and then bringing in a suprise guest/headliner once a month... Maze should capitalize on all the things it has going for them. Making people want to be there because of : the GREAT system, keen aesthetics, and great vibe... through flyers and the internet [speaking of which- fix the damn website to something slightly less pathetic, emphasizing the notion of upper echelon club that they represent...] they should interest clubbers by making it a place to be seen, a place to people watch, to shake their ass, get a great martini, and see better talent... to make people want to actually get in their cars and DRIVE there. And to help others see where their efforts are lacking- which is good for the scene's diversity.

I have to agree there. NYE is a time to get funky and you can be a little more svelte. I'll definitely be wearing something slinky and black. I don't know about SUPER high heels though. If you're going to do some serious dancing I have only one thing to say- stability in the shoe.
