An acquaintance of mine invited me to a film screening tomorrow (11/10), hosted by the Orlando chapter of the American Advertising Federation.

As I’ve posted several times, I always enjoy the local arts and crafts festivals in Central Florida. There are several to choose from throughout the year, including the Fall Festival in the Park at downtown’s Lake Eola, currently going on. I zipped over there yesterday and managed to snap a few photos.
You can find more photos from the downtown arts festival on our Flickr profile. But one last photo I want to share is of a couple who just got married, and were having their pictures taken by the lake:
If you’re worried you missed the Fall Festival in the Park in downtown Orlando don’t worry: it’s still happening today (Sunday, 11/8). While the only information site I found doesn’t have hours of operation listed, the festival ended at 5:00pm yesterday.
Plan on going? Remember our advice to keep-in-mind that both traffic and parking might be a little congested in the downtown area, particularly since Robinson and Central are completely shut down.

Haven’t heard much buzz about this new store opening, so I thought I’d share the info here.
If you’re a fan of Nordstrom, you’re bound to be a fan of Nordstrom Rack, Nordstrom’s off-price division. The store carries merch from regular Nordstrom stores, as well as goodies from their Web site, but at 50-60% off the original price.
Like many of the other discount retailers (Marshalls, TJMaxx, etc.), Nordstrom Rack gets multiple deliveries each week, so shopping often is best!
The new store opens this Friday, November 6, outside of the Mall at Millenia. More info here.

Man am I excited about this! The world’s largest rubber band ball (according to Guinness World Records) is paying a visit to Central Florida. It’ll actually be on display at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Orlando Odditorium.
Why am I so excited? Because about six years ago I started my very own rubber band ball. It doesn’t, however, compare to the gargantuan one that will be at Ripley’s.
Believe it or not (no pun intended) I couldn’t seem to find any information about the dates of the display – perhaps it’s going to be a permanent fixture. You can always e-mail Ripley’s at museum@ripleysorlando.com, though, and inquire further.
Ripley’s in Orlando is located:
8201 International Drive
Orlando, Florida 32819
General Information: 407.363.4418
If you’re interested you can read our review of a recent visit to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in Orlando.
