1,440 Mins of Coffee & Tea Awesomeness

Posted by E-Rock On July - 31 - 2010 2 COMMENTS

It’s 12:32pm at Austin’s Coffee.

A local artist, Alexander “ARS” Watkins is bringing in his custom-designed shoes and cartoon/comic-inspired work for a month-long display.   Owners Jackie and Sean are busy milling around; he is putting up some new shelves and displays, she has has been showing off her freshly made “coffee-kicks” since 11am.

Speaking of freshly made, the smell of the coffee roaster is wafting the scent of FairTrade organic beans through the booths.   The air is filled with sounds of cars passing by (Austin’s is on Fairbanks Ave, what do you expect); the tap-tap-tap of keys from the students, lunch-breakers and hang-outers; and the laughs of a group of Rollins’ students behind me talking about the “worst birthday ever” and how the one girl is “such a whale” because she won’t stop dipping into the tempeh.

The other buzz going on in the air is definitely newsworthy:  the move to 24-hours.

Yep, you heard it right.  All-day, all-night.

AC exteriorFor seven years now, Austin’s has been serving up hot coffee & tea (and even beer!), freshly made salads and sandwiches – vegan and non-vegan – and a huge heaping of atmosphere to its customers.  Just about everyone with a 407 or 321 area code has at least stepped in the door here, and most if not all have been back several times.  Normally, closing time is 11pm or 1am, depending on the day.   Early risers like myself (sometimes) or late late nighters like myself (usually) tend to miss the 7 or 8am opening, though.

They are hoping to change all that August 1st, when they make the big schedule change.

I sat down over a glass of passion fruit iced tea with the coffee maven herself, Jackie.

OCC: Well, first off what inspired the change to a 24-hour shift?

J: It’s been a long time coming.  For about 4 years now I’ve toyed with the idea.  It wasn’t until recently, after speaking with a mutual friend that I decided to go for it.  For the longest time, people were staying as long as we would let them.  Some nights we close at 11pm, and people would be still coming in around 1am.  It was just a natural progression.

OCC: Words that come to mind to describe Austin’s Coffee.  First 3 – GO!

J: Community.  Coffee.  Shop.

OCC: What is the most popular item on the menu?

J: Hmm. Tough question.  Non-vegan, the Chipotle Chicken Panini; Vegan, the Eggless Egg Salad Sandwich.  The vegan population can rarely get “eggs”…so it’s hugely popular.

OCC: Where do you think the phrase “Cup O Joe” came from?

J: I read it somewhere once!  There actually is a good story behind it..but I can’t think of it right now.  [Ed Note:  most likely as a slang version of "java" or "jamoke"]

OCC: What’s so important about FairTrade coffee?

J: It’s pretty involved, but it brews down to the farmers being able to produce a high-quality bean at an honest price.  They are shown how to make their farms FairTrade-friendly and are given the tools and the promise to support their employees and their families.  Most importantly, they get to make a fair living, and we get some of the best coffee you can find.  We pay more, of course, but it’s worth it.

OCC: What’s your favorite coffee or tea?

J: The sweet iced coffee.  It’s also our number one seller.

OCC: And finally, what do you think has made Austin’s such a staple in the Orlando scene?Coffee

J: There’s really two segments to our popularity.  First, the coffee lovers.  People that come in and who know (or may not know) about the quality of the coffee here.  Similar to the organic food boom, organic coffee isn’t much different.  Last and certainly not least, the art & culture crowd.  A lot of our baristas are artists themselves, much like our customers.  But it’s not rare to come in and see someone painting, or playing guitar, or just lounging around.   It’s a comfort zone for most people, and that’s why we love it.


Aside from the menu, Austin’s is known for hosting some great nights:  comedy, open-mic, and even some touring musical artists.  (Beat that, Borders!)

Also it’s worth noting, for you laptop-luggers, plenty of outlets – no more fighting for that one seat that someone is ALWAYS in.

You can check out some of the city’s best coffee at:

929 W. Fairbanks Ave.
Winter Park, Fl 32789
Ring! (407) 975-3364

They have 6 events coming up in October, so get your @$$ over there and get a latte.  No “venti” needed.

Green with Envy

Kiss the rings, bitch.

Eager to add a fifth to his gargantuan talons, the NBA’s oldest player is looking to flip the script.

Long-time NBA big man Shaquille O’Neal want’s to pull an LBJ and skip the hell out of the Mistake by the Lake. But instead of heading south to warmer pastures, Shaq Diesel apparently wants to shove off eastward to Beantown, and “help” the Celtics recover from last year’s playoffs snafu.

Several reports have him quoted as saying he only wants to go for a team “who can win it all.”  “He doesn’t want to go to a team that’s not a contender.”

(Well, no shit.  The only guy in the NBA that was never destined to win a ring was Kurt Rambis.  He ironically won 4 rings.  Eat that Queen James.)

Sources close to the over 7-foot, 325 pound self-proclaimed Superman say he’s EXTREMELY interested in wearing the shamrocks this upcoming season. Save for one small problem -

- the Celtics got NO MONEYYYYYYY.

Reportedly, they neither have the means or the space to pay him over the league-mandated minimum of $1.3 million. Unfortunate for Big Aristotle, who is currently sitting pretty at #6 on Sports Illustrated’s Fortunate 50 for 2010 at $36 million last year.

That’s a pretty big fuckin’ paycut.  Pretty big.

But does the Big Man really even care?

In a career spanning nearly two decades, O’ Neal has raked in over $290 million; he probably doesn’t care about the money anymore.  That’s more than we can say for LBJ, who left an ishload of money on the table in C-town, but will now be third banana in the gangbang that is going to be the Miami Heat’s “eatshit” front five.

So why do I give a shit?

If Shaq DOES go to Boston, it may spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e for our boys in Blue this season – as Shaq still strikes fear in the lanes.  Even if he can’t shoot a free throw (52% over 18 years) for shit, he may prove trouble for Dwight Howard and our Magic.

We’ll have to stay tuned. Keep it locked on OCC.

Use To Get It In Ohio

Well, in case you have been living under a really hard rock or have not checked any social network, television, newspaper, telegram, candy gram, or noticed the entire city of Cleveland suffering a torrential flash flood from the tears of every sports fan, Lebron James has decided to take his talent down to South Beach to try and stop Phil Jackson from getting his 4th 3-peat.

One thing that I find quite funny about this whole “decision” is how much it just resembles a big professional wrestling angle. If you know me, you know I watch a little bit of wrestling (hey, its no worse than ANY reality TV show on, and I am open for debate on that) and I have been known to travel out to Universal to watch the TNA tapings. Not only for the horrible theater of a show they put on but also the people watching is priceless, and for free I figure, why not?

Not only did Lebron destroy an entire city in one swift sentence, he chose to do so on live television.

Which brings me to writing this blog. If you watched wrestling back in the hey-day of the mid-to-late 90s, you know who THE man was, and it was none other than the Real American, Hulk Hogan.

Back in 1996, Hogan pulled a very similar move to the King of Akron by joining forces with two superstars in the business and turned his back on all the fans he had garnered in a near 15 year career to start the now legendary, often replicated but never duplicated, nWo.

Only difference is, Hogan had 6 title reigns while Bron Bron is still sitting on a fat zero.

I now present to you, Lebron james joining the nWo.

Now its just becoming ridiculous….

Posted by Mr. House On June - 21 - 2010 2 COMMENTS

Mr House again…I know that OCC has mainly been about partying, music, and other entertainment related media but one thing its lacking is world news and political affairs. Right now, the biggest news story is the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the greatest disaster caused by humans in the history of the world and as it stands, there isnt an end in site. The oil being leaked is as big as the Exxon Valdez spill was every 4 days…its been leaking since April 20th….do the math. I’ve got to ask myself, why the hell has the leak not been stopped yet when there is no way possible we don’t possess the technology to cap it? One of my friends put it this way; “The government hasnt stepped in yet because there is an agenda being passed in Washington while the world is focused on the spill.” Literally this spill has the capability to completely destroy the ecosystem of the Gulf that has already been ravaged by natural disasters the last 5 years, and our government is doing absolutely nothing about it.

Which brings me to the idiots over at BP who caused this travesty….WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?? Not only have you lied about it every day since day 1, but you turn down offers to help from people like James Cameron?! Are you retarded or is your arrogance so massive that you are allowing 100,000 barrels of oil a day to spill into the ocean so you can all of a sudden fix the leak and be the hero? The only thing I can really say is thats not going to happen….your company will never recover from this and the executives should be tried and hung for deliberately allowing this to continue. We only have one planet right now, maybe in a few 100 years after weve completely sucked this planet dry of its natural resources and space travel becomes easier will we find another planet, but as far as we know…this is the only one so lets try not to fuck it up too bad right now.

Whatever the outcome is…personally I cant believe that in my life Ive seen the biggest attack on US soil on 9/11, one of the biggest hurricanes to make landfall in the US, some of the biggest Earthquakes ever recorded, a Black man as President, and now the largest human disaster in the history of the world. Speaking of Obama…Im not saying this because hes black, I think its fantastic that we finally might be beating the racial barrier that divides us, but for all the retards that voted for him and fell for the lies that ALL politicians tell…hows that change coming for you?

One last final word… CLEAN THE SPILL UP, AND MAKE SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!!! Hopefully this disaster will help us lean more towards green energy which would greatly help out our planet and give us a few more generations before we end up destroying ourselves. Either way…here we come 2012!!!

The Docta’s guide to WMC

Posted by Brian 'Docta' Dawe On March - 25 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Ok, deep breath…. here we go.Last year I had a lot of time on my hands so I was able to break down every single day and highlight a few different events. This year not so much, so I am just going to highlight a few badass parties that are going on Thursday through Saturday. The goal here is the biggest bang for your buck. In past years it was pretty easy to catch a major act at a small venue for under $10, or even better free. This year it seems like the major acts are keeping their surprise appearances under wraps so that the major clubs don’t get pissed when their $10,000 act is playing for free three streets away. To be honest, I am alarmed by the lack of free parties this year. It looks like WMC has finally reached extreme mainstream appeal, and that the fun “party hopping from pool party to pool party” days are over, but maybe not, I guess we shall see. At $20-$50 a pop this year, most people will be staying put at whichever party they decide on. Here are the parties that caught my eye this year…Ok, scratch the above. I need to drive my ass to Miami now since I decided to sleep all day…. so this blog is going to be extremely shortened. Here are three parties, in three days, that you need to be at. I am playing at the Friday party so make sure your ass is there!!FOOLS GOLD NEVER DISAPPOINTS. Trust me this party will be dope.Luis and the people at Vizion 1 always throw an awesome party, this should be no different, plussss I am playing. Be there.Mad Decent and Fools Gold together under one roof. Say no more.

SEE YOU IN MIAMI!!!!

The Booking(s) They Wouldn’t Let Happen.

Posted by Brian 'Docta' Dawe On February - 11 - 2010 1 COMMENT

When I was doing the “Saturday/Thursday” party at Firestone I reached out to a relatively unknown artist named Kid Cudi. I was all about making the first Orlando Kid Cudi show a reality, but unfortunately the powers that be at Firestone thought they knew everything and came to the conclusion that the booking would not be a success. I think they were wrong. I also think his booking fee is probably a tad bit more than $2,500 these days. In that era I also suggested LMFAO, Asher Roth, Crookers, Diplo, Kid Sister, and Girl Talk but I obviously had no idea what I was talking about.

Here is my convo with cudder back in ’08…

This week @ Photoshop Friday. FML.

Posted by Matt Phillips On December - 11 - 2009 5 COMMENTS

This week I was picked for Photoshop Friday at the workplace. This is an exciting weekly event where we pick a person from the office, and insult them to the highest extent. Although many people have mastered the skill of Pshop, and have no issues whipping something up quickly…we have decided to add a twist. Mother Fucking MS Paint. That’s right, you can use nothing except for MS Paint. These are the results.

Lots of Volvo’s, adoption jokes, making fun of my badass dog, my perfectly sculpted hair and calling me a Puerto Rican.  Cago en su mamá ayer. No porque quiero a, pero porque yo me siento que soy necesario. ¡Viva el burrito!

Even though you’d think I would be offended. I’m not. It was quite an exciting morning. This pretty much sums it up.

Off to the pictures yo!

EZF 09 = Success =New York Finally has an Electronic Festival

Posted by Familiar Joe On September - 14 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS



Ive been waiting for my friend to send me my high res photo’s from Electric Zoo before I posted this blog, but I can’t wait any longer.

Finally New York has a Electronic Festival that they can look forward to annually, it’s about time. My first day at the Zoo reminded me of my first time at UMF minus the lines. I went straight to the media tent to get my tickets and media bracelets and realized pretty quick that it was the perfect weather, time, and location for this event. I read the line up for Day 1 over again as soon as I got situated inside, I was stoked. When you have Busy P, Deadmau5, DJ Mehdi, Kaskade, Benny Benassi, Steve Aoki & David Guetta all on one small island in the middle of NYC you quickly realize you are in for a ridiculous evening.

All of these people would agreeBut we all know, a huge Electronic music festival wouldn’t be the same without these individuals.

Don’t forget this guy!

I do have to say though, for the extremely small amount of advertisement Made did for Electric Zoo a LOT of people made it out there to Randall’s Island. One thing that stood out to me about this Festival compared to UMF. I didn’t leave spending over $100 dollars just on food and water! There was also numerous vendors handing out free shitty tasting drinks for the slackers who didn’t realize they would need to bring cash to such a place. Calcium enhanced sodas to be exact; tasted like 1/2 Milk 1/2 Mountain Dew. My favorite performances from Day 1 happened to all be on the same stage, lucky me.

DJ Mehdi and Busy P dedicated a few of their songs to DJ AM (not officially, but I know). Of course blasting his infamous track, To Protect and Entertain Busy P had an intense set. Mehdi and Busy P shared their set times while mixing together coming up with some real potential club bangers. Over all I was 100% pleased with their sets. If you saw Steve Aoki any of the times he has stopped in Orlando and were pleased with his performance, you really missed out then. He played a bunch of fresh tracks im assuming were made with Bob Rifo judging by the style of the stuff that stood out (aka Rifoki). He couldn’t end his set without playing Warp, of course.

*wonders if Warp 1.9 will soon join the list of songs to not be played in a club after 2009*

Main Stage, crowd is only 1/3 of what it reached later in the night at this point.Deadmau5

;) The only reason I went to Day 2 was David Guetta, of course my camera battery was dead so I couldn’t catch any photo’s of this insane show. I was more impressed by the lazers than Guetta’s selection of songs aka top 40 playlist, then again I don’t know what else I expected. Either way, I loved every minute of it.
All in all, I will be visiting the Zoo again next year. It’s the perfect time in the middle of the year to get your 6 month fix of electronic/house music before the WMC/Ultra comes back around.For the record though…

NICE DICK: The Music Video!!

Posted by Brian 'Docta' Dawe On August - 30 - 2009 39 COMMENTS

[display_podcast]

Ladies and Gentlemen… I present the WORLD PREMIERE of NICE DICK: The Music Video!!

…and here’s the lyrics so you can sing along at home!

Docta Dawe:
When I go to the pool I see all kinds of shit
but nothing quite intrigues me like the nice dick.
Everywhere I go from the club to the beach
I can’t take my mind off of all the meat.
Let me say it doesn’t mean were gay,
like Special K, or going to the ballet.
Forget about your boyfriend and
meet me at the hotel room,
as long as its not the ladies room or
Docta Dawe will put you in the emergency room.
When I go to the store I have to say nice dick,
when I hit up the club you know i’m screaming nice dick,
I’m buying shit at the mall yelling out nice dick,
when I’m at the library I say “shhh” nice dick.
You can find me driving in my marquee
in the eoc while im takin a pee,
and I guarantee you will see how quick
that I will stare at a very nice dick.

DJ Spillz:
They call me Spillz you better right your wills,
while i’m poppin’ pills and eating dills.
I’m driving down the block thinking about cock
and eating chock while packing my glock.
Set my alarm clock for 6 o clock
so I can by stocks while smoking rocks.
I am the meanest uncleanest genus from venus
looking for the leanest penis.
I’ll throw a brick at your click
while taking a shit on your chick.
You thought you were slick with your magic stick
but its not as thick as my nice dick.

Docta Chris:
Walk into the club, see a hot bitch
look to my left then I see a nice dick.
Introduce myself but not to the bitch,
I look to the left and say hey nice dick.
I’m walking downtown getting high,
Where should I go to meet a hot guy,
just saw a hot dude walk on by,
but instead I fucked a blueberry pie.
Call me Docta Chris I gotta take a piss
standing next to this guy he’s taking a shit.
I take a sniff after taking a wiff
then I tell the guy hey, nice dick.
