O-Town on a Tuesday

Mickey and I ventured to Orlando last night to watch DJ Greyboy, one of my favorite acid jazz DJs. After a sushi dinner and a Lambic Framboise on Wall Street, we had a drink at a dive bar and then another at a tiki lounge.  If I could remember the names of the places I would tell you, but suffice it to say that they weren’t hard to find.  Then, we headed to The Social for the show.

Greyboy spun from about 11:45 p.m. until 1:45 a.m.  I was surprised by the lack of hip-hop he played, but I wasn’t displeased with his musical choices.  He played plenty of old-school funk tunes that had people jamming on the dance floor. 

After the show, I shook his hand and thanked him for coming to play. It was neat to talk to someone whose music I’ve appreciated for years.  Then, Mickey and I had a few words with another couple who had also driven from Tampa for the show.

Every time I go to Orlando, I find myself drawn to Paris Hilton’s nightclub, Club Paris.  I’m not very fond of the heiress, but the club looks really nice.  Maybe I’ll check out that place someday.  The last time Mick and I were in Orlando on a Saturday night, we saw a green Lamborghini out front that was practically identical to (and very well could have been) Missy Elliot’s.
