Summer might almost be over (despite the 99 degrees in my car yesterday), but events in Orlando are starting to heat up again.
Weekend Events
The Central Florida Film Festival is happening all weekend. Hosted in a nifty little theater in Ocoee, single tickets are $10, or get an all-day pass to hide out from the heat for $25 (which includes entry to all of the day's movies, one medium popcorn, one medium drink, and three Audience Choice Award ballots).
If haven't seen it already, stop by the Gallery at Avalon Island in Downtown to view 13 photographers' exhibits for TrIP - Transit Interpretation Project, which includes our very own Tina Craig! The galleries are open Thursday through Saturday, 11:00am to 6:00pm.
Not only is the Brevard Zoo turning 20 this year, it's also hosting its annual Cold-Blooded Weekend, from August 30th through September 1st. Every day from 10:00am to 3:00pm, meet venomous snakes, alligator snapping turtles, diamondback terrapins (aka more turtles), and other critters, complete with activities and prizes.
Friday, August 29th
Last Fridays = Critical Mass in Orlando, so grab your bike and head to Loch Haven Park for a 5:20pm departure. Oh, and it's called Hot Azz August Critical Blast, because, you know: August in Orlando.
The Milk Bar hosts a special Full Band Acoustic Show with MILKA this Friday at 10:00pm. No cover, 21+.
Okay, here's something lame about me: I still haven't seen The Fifth Element. But that's no excuse to miss The Fifth Element Trivia at Bikes, Beans Bordeaux. It's happening this Friday night at 7:00pm.
Saturday, August 30th
Heavy F**king Metal Art Show is kicking off this Saturday, 8:00pm, at The Falcon. Metal art, metal music, and beer. What else do you want?
Aaah, Saturdays. So full of opportunity to be that better you: go for a run, buy some local groceries, clean your house... Well, at least you can achieve one of those by attending a Saturday farmers market, such as the Casselberry Farmers Market (9:00am to 1:30pm) and the Winter Park Farmer's Market (7:00am to 1:00pm). (The jury is still out whether it's Farmers or Farmer's...)
Noles, listen up: Wall Street Plaza is hosting a Garnet & Gold Watch Party this Saturday starting at 8:00pm. The event includes $2 Coors Light for the first half, $12.50 buckets, and free shots when the FSU scores.
The Orlando Facial Hair Club is meeting again at Oblivion Taproom for Burgers, Beers and Beards (Saturday at 8:00pm). Come for the beer, stay for the raffle, stickers, shirts, and hats.
