Staff PageThe site for tonight's (April 19, 2011) Florida Creatives Meetup 6-9pm is BJ's Brewhouse (4151 Conroy Rd, Orlando, FL). What is Florida Creatives? When I first started attending a few years ago, it was wall-to-wall geek. I was the only actor in the bar. I had a blast. I found I could converse with the geeks rather easily, as the conversations tended to be about ideas, projects, and topics anyone could glom onto. Now? No idea. I haven't been in a long time. So go check it out and perhaps this monthly meetup is the one for you. I will be there around 7:30pm if you want a blog-friend to go with.

In our quest for a new home, we are now sampling BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse - a nice place to hang out with a HUGE menu and a half-dozen of of their own house-made beers. Join us a we launch into the 4th year of Florida Creatives Happy Hours. Come discover a new spot as we search for a home.
My plan is to hold the May 24th Happy Hour at the 20th Annual Orlando Fringe Festival. June will be the last Nomads event, then we will try to decide on a regular spot.
