DR 4-10

O rlando is what I like to call a big small town. It is big enough to allow you to continuously meet new people, but

small enough to still know everyone’s name.When it comes to the night life and those

who frequent it, it’s pretty safe to say that everyone knows a bartender, bar owner, b o u n c e r , DJ, promoter, etc. to a certain

degree and at some point in their life

has used this “friend,” or friend’s name, for a complimentar y ticket, entrance or drink when out for the night.

There are ways to get in free to clubs,

either using a promotional flier or guest lists, and drink cards and coupons, or just a good bar with the perfect drink special, can help you score free drinks all

night. To put it

bluntly, you can be broke as fuck and still go out in this city.

Yes, Orlando can be done on a budget, but that’s not to say that “free” necessarily means going out without your purse or wallet. If you want your favorite bar’s lights kept on, or your favorite bartender to be able to feed himself, you seriously have to drop a couple of bucks every now and then. Here are three cases where you’re really not God’s gift to the night life and should probably spare some change, for the good of your greater drinking future.

1. Your friend’s the bartender and your drinks are often free:

Ah yes, isn’t it great to know people? You’ve made the circuit, been drinking at these bars for years. You just had a few drinks, but you know he won’t ask you to pay for it. You ask

what you owe, he says don’t worry about it, you smile, say thank you and head out on your way.

Nice job you freeloading asshole. They may be waving goodbye-come-again to you, but inside they just visualized peeing on your face. Leave a damn tip. There are rare exceptions and times when tips are denied depending on how awesome you are, but chances are you’re not one of those people and should still, if anything, offer. Anyone who thinks their smile and friendship is enough to merit them free alcohol is completely delusional. Allow me to remind you of the fact that the bartender pays for those drinks. The drinks are not getting poured from magical, unicorn-adorned

fountains of free vodka or whisky in the back. Also, if you leave a generous tip, you may see hook-ups more often.

2. You know someone who works at the bar and expect to always be on a guestlist:

This is your moment. You’re headed to your favorite club night with friends, you’re finally up to the front door, you recognize the door girl even though she has no clue who you are and you utter the words, “I know (enter bar owner/bartender/club promoter/DJ’s name here).” Or maybe you’ve been around the block so many times that you’ve banged the DJ, blew the promoter and made out with two of the bartenders. You’re definitely on the list.

Hey, congratulations on being a whore. Now pay the $5 to get in. If you think you are the only person in line who screws DJ iTunes or was done by the bar owner, you’re mildly retarded. The door girl is blankly staring at you because she has now heard the same thing 87 times.

To be honest, Orlando is too spoiled with guest lists and every one seems to think that they should never ever have to pay to get in somewhere. A guest list usually closes at a certain time in the night so that the bar can make money and sustain an existence. If you can’t afford a big $3-$8 cover after a guest list closes, or even just in general, will you even be able to pay for anything once you get inside or are you just going to sip on the free PBR all night? Unless someone hosting the night asks for you to be there, don’t think that anyone actually cares whether you show up or not.

3. You never pay for anything, anywhere. You’re seriously that cool.

You’re a local radio DJ, you were in a ‘90s boy

band, or you’ve just been hitting the club scene for so long that everyone knows your name.

Oh! Good for you. You’re a celebrity in a town that no one gives a shit about. If you think everyone in the whole city knows who you are just by staring at the years of club wear and tear on your face, then once again you’re not very bright. And in case anyone has picked up on the fact that I have now called people stupid and retarded in a matter of two paragraphs, let’s just assume you are all borderline Palin and need me to fill in the blanks for you.

There is one rule to being a local celebrity in this city, and that rule is to be humble. Never think everyone knows you, never give a shit if someone does. You are human just like the rest of us and more importantly, you dwell in

Orlando just like the rest of us, so that means unless you

are 7-feet tall and good on the court, or able to crack a ball in a 3-inch hole

(enter cocktail waitress joke here), you’re

really not as successful as

you think you are. Especially if

you can’t even pay a cover.

Always be polite and give thanks

when free shit is offered, but never expect anything for

free. If you’re asked to pay for anything, just do it. Drinks cost

$4.50 on average here. That means you’ll still have money left over to open a retired boy band hotdog stand in front of

Antigua and continue flourishing in this city.It’s simple really. When

you head out, know that at some point you have to open your wallet. And if you’re really that worried about finances remember the very simple golden rule of night life: If you can’t afford to be out, then stay the hell home.

Beer Goggles keeps an eye on the valuable players in the local night life

community, some with names that are familiar, some who fly under the radar, none that are to be ignored.

This month the focus is on the DJs who turn their nose up at other insta-DJs who enter the scene after spinning a couple of

sets on DJ Hero and decide to throw a club night. The real DJs have some of the most extensive vinyl collections and music knowledge in Orlando, and should probably invest in a good security system for their home after announcing that to everyone in DRINK this month.

Today, with many DJs buying laptops and not knowing how to pay their dues in the turntable community, Rincon stands apart with more than 3,000 vinyl records in his collection and counting. Now the winner of the Red Bull 3Style DJ battle in Orlando, and a competitor sent to compete in the southeast regionals in Miami during the Winter Music Conference, his career as a DJ started as a teenager with his two favorite possessions, a radio and a walkman with a record button. Recording mix shows on the only hip-hop FM station in the ’90s in Orlando (102 Jamz), he soon began imitating the scratching he heard on the radio with his mother’s and father’s Spanish vinyl records.

At 17, he landed a retail job pushing carts in order to save money for vinyl and soon after joined the hip-hop scene as a break dancer. In college he was handed a flier for

a b-boy competition and was invited to practice his dancing skills at a local b-boy night downtown, the same venue that later opened the door for a his first DJ gig. From there he was opening for local DJs who have paid many dues in the hip-hop scene in Orlando. Guest appearances and opening sets followed, and with the support and help of his girlfriend, he was back in touch with DJ Caesar of 102 Jamz, working with some of the biggest promoters in the city of Orlando such as The Firm and DJ Chino.

Rincon now works a schedule of five night clubs a week and DJs at Guess stores on Sundays. He is also an official DJ for the McDonald’s marketing street team. If you ever want to hear a DJ with credentials this is the man to go to.

What: (In his own words) Girlicious Thursdays. Every Thursday night Backroom is filled with professionals, from out-of-town business men to random NBA players balling out of control in VIP. On this night you never know what to expect, but one thing is guaranteed and that is good

music, no hype and just a feel good time. Come dressed to impress, because as soon as you walk in Backroom you will be feeling like a million bucks as the decor compliments your sense of style. State-of-the-art lasers become one with the fog, as the DJ plays feel-good music that feeds your soul. At that very same moment you feel at home and wish the night would last forever. Friendly staff and beautiful people make Thursday the night to look forward to with free martinis for ladies and $5 drinks for guys until midnight. [email protected]

While our main focus is his soul night at Will’s Pub, Secret Weapon also does a rare Disco night at Redlight Redlight called “Giant” and for seven years the “Yesterday, Today” radio show on WPRK every Friday night from 9-11pm with DJ Kutzu, Chairman Hao, and Johnny Five Mikes. Employed by Park Ave Records and known for collecting only the best albums, he’s been nicknamed

“The Record Guy” and without a doubt is the go-

to man for everything vinylWhat: (In his own

words) Motor City Soul. Orlando’s only “real” soul

night, all Detroit, all Michigan, all Northern. You’ll hear deep

soul records from labels like Motown, Tamla, V.I.P., Gordy,

Soul, Chisa, Ric-Tic, Mo-West, Rare Earth, Hot Wax, Invictus,

Revilot, Ruth, Moira, Groove City, etc. No cover, 21 and up and it’s all part of “Low Dough Mondays”

at Will’s with drink specials that will blow your mind, but not your

wallet.

Where: Will’s Pub, 1040 North Mills Ave., Orlando; Monday night every now and then, look for the poster; 10 pm-2 am; free

What: (In his own words) It was once Electric Heavyland, now it’s nameless. It’s Friday night. It’s a party. The people just come, without the need for endless social

networking spam. It’s a beautiful thing. On any

given night you’ll hear everything from golden era hip-hop, to grimy funk and disco, to ’80s electro/boogie, to indie rock and shoegaze. It’s more like going to a big house party where the hosts have a really rad, eclectic record collection, rather than a “club” night per se; there’s plenty to dance to,

but there’s never going to be big room rave music. It’s a 21 and up crowd, so it’s a bit more open minded and laid back; you’re not going to have to dodge glow sticks or worry about your boss stumbling across drunken pics on Smile For Camera Monday morning. No worries, we will still get you hammered with all kinds of fancy beer on the cheap and destroy your soul.

Smilin’ Dan was given his name when Ken Hastings and Dave Canalte were filling in for Erik Dennison on Real Radio 104.1,. They were joking around and used the name on air when talking about going down to Cairo. The name stuck. He’s had popular nights at Independent Bar for years, DJ’ing Five Year Flashback on Thursday nights and ‘80s to ‘00s on Sundays, but his more intimate night at Crooked Bayou should definitely not go unnoticed. What: (In his own words) Crooked

Bayou Tuesdays. A night where you never know what you will hear. Playing everything from punk, post punk, country and western, new wave, ’90s alternative, indie rock, progressive house, ’60s and ’70s R&B and garage/psych. A night for the music fan to come out and hear music that normally doesn’t get played in the clubs:

Sonic Youth followed by Hank Williams, Teenage Fanclub, Way Out West, Depeche Mode, Hot Chip, Pavement, Stooges, Interpol, New Order, Hockey, Buzzcocks, Wanda Jackson, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Television, Supremes, Phoenix and so on. It’s a great time to hang out, have some wings, hot tots and drinks.

I

n the handbook of life there is a common misconception. This error, or judgment call, is interpreted so uniquely for each individual it

can lead to snide looks, giggles or just a good, old fashioned, “What the fuck is that you’re wearing?” Yes people, it is the great illusion that fashion, drinking and clubs are not one in the same. If this statement seems absurd, then please put on your Crocs, oversized food-stained shirt and go back to watching the Home Shopping Network.

Now, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. What exactly is it that you should be wearing out to slurp down those beers and guzzle those mixed drinks? Actually, let’s start with what you should be stuffing in to that trash bag labeled “Goodwill” or “Christmas presents for people I hate.”

First on the list, the infamous “tit tent.” Remember the summer of 2008 when the dreaded maxi dress began to make an appearance? Of course you do, you probably have one hiding in your wardrobe. Well they’re back again. These dresses are made of cheap knit fabric, sometimes strapless, usually empire waist, with a skirt that went all the way down to flip-flop clad feet. Not only do they make every girl over 100 pounds look like she’s eight months into her pregnancy, they are beginning to creep back into the department stores. If pregnant isn’t the look you would like to compliment your vodka-cup-in-the-air dance moves, go for a well-structured shape instead. Empire waists do nothing to a girl’s figure but make her look like a whale and there are many alternatives! A look at the fall 2010 ready to wear line by Miu Miu shows short, mini dresses and skirts that are cinched at the waist. Adding a skirt with a little more fullness is always fun, and can be easily dressed up for a night out with a short, cropped jacket.

Another “gem” you can gladly throw away would have to be Crocs. This goes for men, women, boys and girls! Sure, they are advertised as “comfy,” and “colorful,” but so are diapers and I sure as hell don’t see you wearing those out to the bar. I understand that Crocs have been through many modifications, and they have their new line of semi-bearable styles, but there are endless

alternatives. For the ultimate

fashionista, there is the new Vivienne Westwood Anglomania + Melissa line of shoes. Made of PVC with metal embellishments and fabric bows, these shoes will give you that weird, sweaty plastic feeling you crave with a form-fitting, stylish look. There are many styles ranging from flats to heels and wedges, and the color options are superior to those of Crocs. If spending over $100 for a pair of plastic shoes seems a tad outrageous, try Bloomingdales for Kate Spade’s new jelly peep toe sandal, or Sketchers traditional criss-cross flat. At least if some douchelord at the bar spills a drink on them, you can just rinse them off in the bathroom sink. Genius!

As I bid you adieu, remember that today’s lesson was brought to you by the words “tit tent,” “Crocs” and “do not wear.” Fashion is a beautiful thing, even when you’re holding that PBR tall boy in your hand, as it can be molded into anything you want. Just remember to follow the rules so you don’t look like an ass.
