Too funny to not share.

Yeah.. This is the candidate that has 47.5% of the democrat primary voters support.

Here we go again.

Orlando Improv has closed it's doors. I know it has something to do with the sale of the building after the Lou Pearlman debacle. Anyone know the details?

Absolute shame. I hope this place doesn't end up off I-drive like howl at the moon. Never fun seeing downtown lose some of it's more cherished venues.

UPDATE: According to Orlando Metromix, Improv has closed due to disagreements with Cameron Kuhn, the new owner of the building.

"[Bob] Joyce [tampa general manager] says they are seeking a lawsuit against Kuhn for breaches in contract, one of them being not renewing the club's liquor license. He wouldn't comment any further but to say an official press release will be sent out on Monday and the Orlando Improv is actively seeking a new location."

Etan Horowitz, technology reporter for the Sentinel, commented with a link to today's paper discussing a new restaurant that will be entering the space. Some sort of rustic steak house concept. At the end of the article though, it's suggested that Kuhn, who purchased the building from bankrupt mogul Lou Pearlman, may be facing his own financial difficulties: a legal battle with one of his lenders, tightening credit, and, well, evidently a new lawsuit with the Improv.

Great.

At this pace Church Street will end up with a "rustic" philly cheese steak hut and a big lots.

Best of luck to the Improv, and please, if at all possible, find a new place downtown!

UPDATE #2: Cory has a write up worth checking out with more detail on the Kuhn-Improv situation.

Hah!

Celly just sent this out on our list.. Some USC kids made a facebook commercial to the tune of the eHarmony commercials.

Well done, random USC kids, well done.


Poke poke poke!

Kiel sent me this earlier, talk about a flash back.

Greatest. Music. Video. Ever. ;)

At the risk of getting all scholastic, Emo started off closely tied to the post-hardcore world of Ian MacKaye. How did we go from Fugazi, to this? When I was in highschool, it meant Jimmy Eat World or Sunny Day Real Estate. To give you an idea, Sunny Day toured with the likes of Soul Coughing. Emotional infused music, sure... But this looks more like goth for kids who can't afford doc martins.

Anyway.. I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry (hah) at this video. On one hand, it shows all the weirdos in the "emo" world and what the scene has become. On the other, it shows adults completely missing the joke. The whole "emo points" thing is making fun of emo kids. Its been all over the net in some sort of form or another for awhile. Media, especially local media, just loves to dramatize teenager angst, don't they? I'm surprised they didn't try to link it all to some sort of video game....

I guess it's just all part of the same cycle. Kids have to fit in somewhere and the ones who are different (be it creatively, socially or some sort of family structure) tend to lump together. For my age group, the controversial clique was goth.. these days.. it's emo. Anyway.. give them all 10 years and I'd wager that they out perform their jock counterparts 10-1. ;)
