Though there’s no mention of it on the Grandma Party page, I know this to be true because I picked up a flier last night at Stardust. My favorite outdoor event in Orlando is growing. The Grandma Party is something I had the privilege of getting involved with in its second incarnation in April of 2006 for Earth Day. Since then, I’ve followed the event and tried to post updates related to the event as often as possible. Here’s the event info:
Granny’s Sunday Nite Scrap Meet
Sunday, July 15th, 7:00 PM
“bring in all your old/unwanted fabric and art supplies and trade ‘em in something new (well, new to you!)”
The flier says you’ll be able to bring in your scraps and craft supplies a bit earlier to add to the pile. Interesting upon interesting is that Stardust sells hard liquor now… who’d have thought that would happen? Pretty cool, though.
I hope that events like Granny’s Scrap Meet mean that we’ll be seeing more out of Casey and the Grandma Party crew as time goes on. I’m a big supporter of anything this group does. The spirit, the people, the quality goods for sale and the community support have been really fantastic surrounding this event. They really have all the ingredients to help make the Orlando DIY community something special.
The Beer Bomb of the Month MySpace is normally the place where you learn about local beer bomb recipes and a downtown pub crawl on bicycles with a beer bomb and a little food at each stop. Now witness what happens when you get several local bars and a microbrewery’s bus involved.

There’s not enough time to tell you the legend of Heronymus. Here’s the text from the MySpace:
From early 1996 to the Summer of 1998 Heronymus was a dynamic musical force in Central Florida. After releasing a cassette E.P. and an independent full-length album, numerous live shows including multiple appearances headlining the House of Blues, and a limited-edition compilation of live material, the band had a sudden and unexpected breakup.
Founded in 1994 by Rob Houle and Timothy Williams the band that would be Heronymus began as a three piece called Praxus. Gaining a cult following through the University of Central Florida theater department in Orlando, Florida, Praxus played living rooms around the East Side of Orlando for over half a year. Joshua Chiet replaced Mike Marinaccio on bass guitar in 1995, and the new threesome of Houle, Williams, and Chiet went in search of a drummer. Matt Brown was added to the lineup along with his brother Jon Brown on trumpet and Dan Boissy on saxophone. Heronymus was born, and played their first gig in the Spring of 1996. Orlando gigs included The Sapphire Supper Club (The Social), Johnny’s Rockin’ Bistro, Barbarella, Junkyard, The Go Lounge, and more. An self-titled album was recorded and released on Icarus Records at this time and sold at shows alongside the eponymous Red Tape, a demo cassette containing four prototypical tracks. Shortly thereafter the Brown brothers exited the band when creative differences drove a wedge between them and lead singer Williams. Drummer Agustin Frederic and trombonist Jaime Gonzalez were brought on board to round out the familiar Heronymus sound of 1997 and ‘98. It was during this year and a half that Heronymus gained an ever-increasing fan base by playing in San Fernandina Beach, Gainesville, Tavares, Lakeland, Clearwater, and Orlando. A limited-release live recording was made by Joshua Chiet From their House of Blues shows. Titled The Romance Is Over, the collection was so named because it was passed around after Heronymus had called it quits.
With plans in the works for a South Eastern US tour, and having just taken on a second guitar player, BJ Belavik, who was to play only one gig at Barbarella in Orlando, Timothy Williams dropped out of the band. The members of Heronymus went their separate ways, bringing their experiences to a host of creative musical endeavors. A studio album with the classic line-up was never recorded. The Cowboy Song Cycle and accompanying animated film for live performance was left unfinished.
Heronymus remained only in the hearts and minds of its dedicated fans, until underground rumblings in early 2007 started to point towards a reunion. That reunion is now confirmed for June 2nd, 2007 in Orlando, FL at the Orlando Rep’s Universal Theater! Tickets are on sale now online at https://www.smarttix.com/show.aspx?showCode=HER5
The members of Heronymus are all excited to rejoin for one evening of music and madness. All are invited to witness this code of silence 9 years in the breaking.
For a number of years I’ve been hearing about a College Park restaurant called Taste. We’re talking back to the days before I knew the difference between College Park and Winter Park. Now, I’ve driven by plenty of times thinking “That’s the place Jim Phillips likes, the one with the Fish Tacos…” That’s all.
A few months ago, during a meeting with Frankie from Apartment E, he says he’s having a night of interpreted poetry at Taste. “Huh, I didn’t know they did events.”
Two weeks ago, I read in the Orlando Weekly that Will (as in Will’s Pub) is having shows at Taste to keep Orlando’s attention while he is working on the new Will’s. “Cool!”
Last week’s “Culture to Go” page (the one with my article) also had some info about an event featuring Doug Rhodehamel’s “spores” decorated by prominent local artists, not to mention live music several nights of the week. “I never knew Taste was so diverse!”
Just a few days ago I found out that my favorite Monday night event, Absent-Minded Improv has relocated to Taste “Where the hell did Taste come from?”
The deal is this: Taste is a California Tapas restaurant - that means all the dishes are small, and meant for sharing. Generally, a restaurant uppity enough to be “tapas” also has gourmet food and gourmet prices, and I don’t doubt Taste deviates from that course.
I’m going there tonight to shoot a video for Orlando Scene TV, which will hopefully get posted very soon. Keep your eyes peeled for the next video, featuring Taste!
