It was great to be in Orlando on a Friday night! We began our club hopping at Room 22<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The DJ was playing Hip Hop and Reggaeton. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Most of us will remember Room 22 <\/em>under its prior name Vintage Lounge<\/em>. The lengthy Vintage <\/em>bar still occupies the north end of the room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Room 22<\/em> kind of follows a Coyote Ugly<\/em> type of format with female patrons brought up onto the bartop for fun and games with liquor poured down their throats as a reward. There’s never a shortage of takers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Interesting place and definitely worth a stop on your own downtown tour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
McQueens Social Lounge <\/em>was our next stop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We arrived to find DJ Skinny Soprano (USA) in the booth now located at the south end of the room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There are two bars downstairs including this one at the opposite end from the DJ.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Above it, the DJ booth used to be up there overlooking things but it kept the DJ disconnected. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That skull wall remains a feature of McQueens <\/em>and it’s a great place for those selfies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music on Friday and Saturday nights is House and EDM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And at this early hour, there was already a growing crowd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The front sign at Bikkuri Lounge<\/em> was unlit last night. But for those in the know, you have to come around back and go upstairs anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We did just that and walked into this<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We walked into the latest edition of “Lost In Trancelation” ft. DJ Suzy Solar (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The early crowd here for some melodic Trance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You’ll find the long-running “Lost In Trancelation (LIT)” here every 1-2 months.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Along with resident DJ Suzy Solar!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Bikkuri <\/em>is home to this famous color-changing light wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

We ran into many peeps from the Trance scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Around midnight, the headliner: DJ Ciaran McAuley (IRL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We’re told this might have been his first U.S. appearance!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He brought those Trance build-ups and crashes to the room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When she’s not playing, Suzy is always on the dance floor!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The next edition of LIT is on Friday, April 14th with famed DJ Craig Connelly (GB) right here in this room, up close and personal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just a few blocks away is Orlando’s Milk District. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
About a city block long filled with bars, restaurants and clubs, it’s so-named because across East Robinson Street is the T.G. Lee Dairy<\/em>. Moo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And it’s home to one of Orlando’s great dance clubs, Iron Cow<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Door Hostess Stephanie was in the foyer making sure everyone paid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
After obtaining her approval, we walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Resident DJ Lola B (USA) was in progress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
