Night 2 of this party weekend! We began the evening in Orlando’s northern boonies at Good Times Bar & Grill<\/em> in Maitland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Located along Keller Road just west of Maitland Boulevard, we arrived around 10PM and walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
On weekends they typically have live bands playing and the cover charge last night was just $5.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Black Diamond (USA) was on stage playing mostly 70’s & 80’s Rock anthems.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Good Times<\/em> has become kind of the successor of the old Why Not Lounge<\/em> in Altamonte Springs, attracting the 40-ish to 70-ish crowd. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The dance floor stayed packed for songs such as “We’re An American Band”, “Anyway You Want It”, “Kiss” and “One Way Or Another”. Good stuff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Good Times<\/em> has a shiny disco ball so you know they’re legit. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Had not heard Thin Lizzy (IRL) hit “The Boys Are Back In Town” in decades!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Live band Running With Scissors (USA) plays tonight. Our favorite Franchise Players (USA) plays Disco, Soul & Funk hits here on June 20th. And don’t forget their next “First Friday” Goth night here on June 5th ft. DJ Lavidicus (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Moving away from Maitland, we next headed to downtown Winter Park, home to Morse Code<\/em>. We’ve never really been sure if the venue is named after its location along Morse Boulevard or whether Morse Boulevard is named after the club. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But we stepped inside and walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ The Manti (USA) was in the booth upon our arrival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Playing a great House\/EDM mix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor was getting occupied.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Always a great vibe at Morse Code<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They’re a wine & beer venue so no gin & tonic for me.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into quite a few people from the local dance scene. Some were new but most we knew.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had sadly missed a set from DJ ZZ (USA) who had opened the night earlier. But coming on next, the legend…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Eric Berretta (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He opened with DJ KJ of K5 (USA) hit “Passion” and then continued afterwards with a mostly Breaks set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ had the room bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We next left suburbia and headed into the city. First stop, Grumpys Underground<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But we didn’t have a ticket so we had to first try to talk our way past the Door Hostess.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And we walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In the booth upon our arrival, DJ Nelly Fre$h (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Playing a mostly Breaks set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor stayed busy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into quite a few people from the local dance scene. Some were new but most we knew.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There was dancing going on inside and outside!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
At midnight, shift change in the DJ booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Sketti (USA) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dance floor stayed busy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There’s always a party at The Patio<\/em>, or so they say.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But there really is. We walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Another legend, DJ Parry (USA) was in the booth last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music mostly Hip Hop hits. We requested some Beyonc\u00e9 (USA) and he played “Single Ladies” for us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Bubble music!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We just made a brief pass through The Patio<\/em>. Our ultimate destination was upstairs at Aero Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Where we walked into this on the rooftop!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Friday\/Saturday night resident DJ Dominick Morrison (USA) was expected.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
What was unexpected was an entire set made up of Dubstep, Riddum and Trap!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When we were at Forbidden Kingdom Music Festival<\/em> last month, we wondered where all the yutes were getting their fix of Dubstep from. Now we know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The lasers were flying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
