On a relatively quiet Tuesday night downtown, Velvet Lounge kept a thick line of people waiting outside for hours.
Why all the hullabaloo? A local to Orlando (who has had success in the music business) celebrated his birthday with some of his closest friends... and then some. Shuffle in Orlando Magic players, Dru Hill alumni, certain band mate to Ashlee Simpson, a rumored professional multi-ethnic golfer, and birthday shout outs via television screens from rock bands that couldn't make it---and it was an event that had bouncers to bike taxis talking about up and down Orange Avenue. If that wasn't random enough, to add to the “what’s going on?” factor, Wayne’s World impersonators were circling the party.
You may be thinking, "So, what?" Well, the irony is that there probably wasn't a single person eagerly awaiting outside that has not poked fun of any of the celebri-maybes who were inside.
After cutting the line quicker than they could lift the velvet rope, I figured that in this situation the only thing to do was reminisce and party on like it was 1999.
Wishing you many more,
Soorya
