My favorite drink is a Free-tini

I'm a huge fan of any event that begins, middles, and ends with free martinis. Natasha and I stopped by Vintage on Orange Ave to take advantage of Ladies Night. Jared was there too, but unfortunately we "accidentally" lost him in the crowd...I wonder what happened to him...hope he's ok...oh well, back to the main event.

The place was packed with a line out the door by the time the Shock Squad arrived. Free martinis drew in the girls, which in turn, enticed the guys. Entertainment was provided by notorious DNF with special guest Trashy. Vintage has a great laid back lounge area to kick back and enjoy the drinks, but there was also space for the booty bumping and break dancing bunch to break it down.  If you had a chance to see the video from the event, you'll see that nerd mode is still in full effect. If not, go to the main orlandocitybeat page and click on O-Lens.

Of course, with such a fun atmosphere and great music, we had to ask our fellow O-towners about what their favorite bars and local bands were. We got a variety of response on where the real fun was on other nights of the week, but everyone agreed Vintage was the place to be on Thursday nights, even if you were of the male persuasion. Lets face it guys, ladies get there own night(s) for a reason. Special thanks to the management and door crew at Vintage for showing us around. What more could you want? Free drinks, awesome location (did I mention it's right by Gino's) great music, sexy crowd, friendly staff. I think that covers all the bases.

For more information on the mischief and mayhem that is the OCB Shock Squad, go to our main page or visit our myspace site (myspace.com/orlandocitybeat). Vintage also has a myspace page (myspace.com/vintageorlando) to keep you posted on upcoming events like Fame on Tuesdays and Ladies Night Thursdays.

Since this is music month at Orlando CityBeat, you can also check out our favorite DJs, bands and singers on our music channel. Some of my personal faves (Dirty Shannon and Last Winter to name a few) will be at the best Cinco De Mayo party EVER on, you guessed it, May 5th. We'll be there and at Beerfest and the Wake Games, so get your tickets now!! Hurry!!! We'll see you next time at Vintage or one of our next stops.

Adios Orlando
