Let me get three things out of the way before I start this post:
If you haven’t heard about the initiative to the ballot known as Amendment No. 2, get out from under your rock and get involved. This initiative states:
Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.
I’ll come right out and say it. This is the most ridiculous display of bigotry I see plaguing this country right now. This is not just a gay issue. This affects all unmarried Floridians, including seniors who are divorced or widowed. How does it make you feel to know that you are taking away Grandma/Grandpa’s benefits if one of the two passes away. If you are saying yes to Amendment No.2 because of your religious beliefs, you are not religious. If you a Christian and think that the bible says sodomy is a sin, read the bible again. If I remember correctly, (it has been a long time since I gave up the notion of going to heaven. There is a special place in hell for me) the bible says “Let the first one without sin cast the first stone.” No one on earth, or at least in Florida, can say they have never sinned and will never sin in the future. No need for a confessions booth if that was true.
Remember a little thing back in the 50′s and 60′s called the Civil Rights movement? That was 50 years ago. We are so much better than that now. Oh wait… no… we aren’t. We still try to take liberties away from minorities. Just this time, it’s not about race but about sexual preference. I really believe the African American community has the duty to stand up to this Amendment and fight it. Same struggle, different name. So why is it I see African Americans saying yes to this initiative? Does anyone remember Mr. and Mrs. Loving? In the 50′s, a white man and a black women wanted to get married. They left their home in Virginia and drove to D.C where they were married. They went home to be awakened in the middle of the night. They were arrested and taken to court for violating the “Racial Integrity Act.” See, back then it was prohibited for interracial couples to be married in Virginia and many other states. One judge even went so far as to say:
Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and He placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with His arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that He separated the races shows that He did not intend for the races to mix.
So God is against everyone who is not the majority? Sounds familiar. In fact, a lot of the arguments people had against interracial marriage are the same arguments we see today for Gay marriage. Judges all over the country used these reasons as the basis of their arguments against interracial dating.
Ain’t that some shit?
OH think about the children! If you’re not straight and not married, you can’t raise your child properly. Just look at www.yes2marriage.com. SERIOUSLY? People agree with that website? HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THIS IDEOLOGY IS OKAY!? If some white couple made a video talking about how they don’t think issues of race should be discussed in school because they don’t think races should mix, everyone who isn’t from Mississippi would blow a gasket. BUT it’s okay when you are talking about gay people.
Here’s another news flash for you. Gay marriage has been banned four times over in the state of Florida. So once again this is not really a gay issue, is it? Yes, it still is. Not only is this is a way to deny the American people the benefits they deserve from domestic partnerships, but it is another way to blur the line between Church and state.
This country was founded on principles that allow all humans the right to be free. You can make your own choices. Everyone else should be allowed the same liberty.
Holland has a saying. “A country can judge its civility on how well it treats its minorities.” Hmm, Welcome to America.

Tonight I got my first glimpse inside “Knight Klub”, but before I indulge, allow me to retrace the footsteps of this journey…
Aaahhhh, The Octagon. Home of my beloved “Shit Show Saturdays”. The Octagon, which was formerly know as “Pounders”, opened approximately seven years ago when UCF area bars were in there prime. This was before UCF had the GPA requirements they do now, and every UCF student was a fuck-up. Pounders had a celebrated male staff made up of the most well known frat boys in the area. The lines were around the building, the flip-flops were floppin’, and the pink shirts were collar-poppin’.
Fast forward to early ’07. Business was so good that the management decided to remove the notorious center bar to raise the capacity limit. Two large bars were built on each end of the building. The plan backfired, and all the empty space created an eerie warehouse feel. Pounders just wasn’t the same. After a few months of suffering business, Pounders management decided to close down shop and re-model, bringing back the “center bar”, and re-opening as “The Octagon”.
The Octagon’s reign in the UCF area was short lived. The space was much more attractive than it had ever been in the past, but they were hurt by the high profile opening of “TDs”, which was coincidentally the same week, and the other UCF area bars that offered all-you-can-drink specials at ridiculous prices. Despite the challenges, “The Octagon” still commanded a loyal following. “Shit Show Saturdays”, the anything goes weekly shit-fest, thrown by myself and the rest of the OCC crew proved to be one of the most successful weekly parties in the area, bringing in a rotating DJ line-up, and a semi-electro open music format which introduced the area to a different type of party. This weekly party proved to be the biggest breath of fresh air from the regular dude-brofests the area may have ever seen.
Once again the space at 10028 University Blvd is undergoing change, this one being the biggest yet. A new team has taken over the room, composed of a lot of familiar and respected nightlife vets. The main focus here is customer service and treating your paying, loyal clientéle with respect, something that is dreadfully rare in the UCF area, and the rest of Orlando for that matter. They aren’t a sports bar that is trying to pose as a club like the other area bars, no identity crisis here, and the name “Knight Klub” says it all. They have a lot of interesting plans in mind, which will be unveiled through opening week.
Visually they’re making some major changes as well, adding a second high-end bar, and a few other major changes they are not ready to announce. The new sound and lighting system will be the best in the UCF area, Including eight state-of-the-art computer controlled lighting rigs, and a breath taking strategically placed sound system. They are still making some tweaks as I write this, but you can expect the best when you walk in Knight Klub for the first time.
So now you ask, “What about my favorite Saturday night party, Shit Show Saturdays??” Shit Show will be remaining a similar party, but will be reincarnated as “Snatch Saturdays”. Details will be coming throughout the next few days, but you can rest assured music format will be staying the same, as well as the DJ line-up of myself and DJ dLux. Re-Launch will be THIS SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1st and we will be celebrating with FREE DRINKS AND BEER ALL NIGHT. Keep checking back for major updates over the next few days.

So I think I can speak for everyone when I say this election is really starting to fucking get to me. I am sad to say that I am one of the 60% of Americans suffering from “Voter Fatigue.” Yet oddly enough, it’s all I can write about at the moment. Because every week it’s something new, and every week it’s something stranger. Liiiiiiiiike this:
A 20-year-old girl in Pittsburgh was charged with filing a false police report Friday after admitting that she made up a story about being attacked due to a John McCain sticker on her car.
The police noticed several inconsistencies with her story, and a lack of surveillance footage made it difficult to belive.
Her story claimed a 6’4″ African-American man beat her up at an ATM, and insulted her before pummeling her over and over, saying things like “You’ll be a Barack supporter, now!” and “Where’s your John McCain now?”, before the coup-de-grace – carving a backwards “B” into her right cheek. Really?
Her bail has been set at $50,000. Oh, and both the McCain and Obama campaigns have been in touch with the “victim”; with the former contacting the family, and his Democratic counterpart wishing her a speedy recovery. Before she told them that the story was bullshit of course.
She copped to everything, but the killer part is, she said she got the idea while driving around in her car. BUT…SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW THE BACKWARDS “B” GOT THERE.
Wooooowzers. Crazy freakin’ Republicans.
In other news, a report in the October 2008 New England Journal of Medicine stated that after 6 1/2 years of research into new methods of contraception, scientists have discovered that women can decrease their chances of pregnancy by 95% by not being whores.

Last night Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso were supposed to be playing at the old Club Paris, which was renamed “Love” for the evening. It was a complete disaster. Tickets sold for $25 a piece, when Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso showed up to the venue only 150 people had walked through the doors and they were greeted with the news that they could not be paid in full. According to people in attendance the duo stayed around and chatted with guests, and then left without playing. Needless to say the people that came out and spent $25 were not very happy… Here are a few comments on the facebook invite page.
“EPIC FAIL”
“fucking swedish fucks…
boycott rick rodriquez productions”
“Biggest disappointment ever!
To Leo Montoya: good job!
To Rick rodriguez: don’t jump in the water if you can’t swim. You probably lost your most loyal customers! You might want to pack and try another city!
I’m more upset about not listening to the house mafia then loosing 25 dollars!”
“ya, it really wasnt about the money, it was the principal of it.”

I am getting REALLY tired of writing blogs about Miami events. This is bullshit. Will someone PLEASE step up to the plate here in Orlando and bring some acts here that people actually want to see. Here is a challenge, if you can find an event in Orlando that DOESN’T SUCK BALLS send it over to me: BrianDawe@orangecountyconcepts.com – and I will feature it on the front page. I have scoured through the Orlando events calendars and see nothing appealing at all, with the exception of a few electronic shows on the Tabu Global House Tuesdays roster, and PVD @ Firestone.
Anyways, here are two Miami events that are gonna be off the heezy:
Now wouldn’t it have been great if these shows were in Orlando?? I wonder if maybe someone pitched the ideas for BOTH of these and was rejected?? hhmmmmm??? Oh well, SEE YOU IN MIAMI!!!
LMFAO – I’m in Miami Bitch! (zshare link)

I’m not here to tell you how to vote, to be honest with you I’m looking back at some of the political blogs on this site and am disappointed that they have all been slanted towards the left. I , myself, am a conservative, but think its important to mention this rally today because of its historic significance.
“Early Vote For Change’ Rally Starts At 6 P.M.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will join presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama at a rally in Orlando on Monday.
Obama is set to speak about his vision for creating change at the “Early Vote for Change” rally.
The rally will be held on the north staircase of the Amway Arena. Gates open at 3 p.m. and the program begins at 6 p.m.”
I’ll be there, with Colombia, and we will be taking pics for occ.com, fuck it why not.

There is a civil war. My good buddies DJ dLux and Chris Callahan have been battling it out subliminally through OrangeCountyConcepts.com for over a month now. It all started when I put up a post of a very inebriated Chris passed out at Octagon. He awoke from his drunken coma the following day and realized he wasn’t comfortable exposing the glory of the night before to all of Orlando, so he deleted the post. dLux, decided to repost the photos that were contained within the blog back in the comments of the website. Chris asked dLux to take them down, dLux told Chris it wasn’t a big deal and to stop being a baby about it. Chris got mad and deleted dLux’s Admin status on the website.
Everything is a little blurry after that, but I know that numerous photoshopped images (which I would have included in this post if I could find them!!) popped up in posts on this website. Admin status’s on the website were upgraded and downgraded by Chris and dLux, comments were changed… Then Kaypee from our beloved “Camp Kaypee” tried to jump in and accidentally deleted half the website. So this little blog, my friends, is where the two of you can confine your little web war. Right here in the comments of this post. You’re both my friends, and it is embarrassing watching this lame internet battle. If I had the balls to call out a stranger to come meet me in a parking lot, you guys can learn to duke it out the old fashion way too. You guys are both “Authors” as punishment for being homos, and tomorrow you will both be “Admins” again. Battleship!!
