Last night we randomly selected (using Random.org) the winner of a pair of tickets for the upcoming Spring Awakening show at Bob Carr. Please help us congratulate Annie, who was apparently majorly impacted by Led Zeppelin in her youth.
Dazed and Confused’ by Led Zeppelin for sure. I was definitely dazed and confused about just about everything in my life at that time! I had NO clue about anything!”
Annie: You’ll have two (2) tickets waiting for you at the Will Call window this Tuesday. Have fun, and enjoy the show!
Thanks to all who participated in this contest, and stay tuned for more.
“Pulse” is thrilled to announce that one of Broadway’s most talked about musicals is coming here to Central Florida, to Bob Carr Performing Arts Center. Spring Awakening has gotten fantastic reviews (The New York Times referred to it as “the most important musical of the decade”), and I know a couple of folks who’ve seen the show on Broadway and have had nothing but great things to say!
Spring Awakening is the story of a group of teenagers who are coming-of-age in oppressive 19th Century Germany…a story of the journey from youth to adulthood. Fun trivia: Lea Michele of Glee fame originated the role of Wendla.
You can get loads more information on the show by visiting SpringAwakening.com.
One of the things I’m most looking forward to is the music, penned by one of my favorite male artists (true story) Duncan Sheik! It was awarded a Grammy in 2008 for “Best Musical Show Album.”
We’ll be at the show on Tuesday the 18th, and we’re also giving away two (2) Premium Seat tickets to one lucky winner! All you have to do is leave a comment in this post, answering the following question:
“What song best sums up YOUR teen years?”
The contest ends at 12:00pm (EDT) on Friday, May 14th. Winner will be selected randomly and you may only enter once.
If you just…can’t…wait to find out if you’re the winner, you can always purchase tickets at www.orlandovenues.net*.

Thanks to fellow Central Florida blog Metro I-4 News for letting us know about this great promotion!
For years-and-years we here in Central Florida have had a couple of identities. We’ve passively let ourselves be referred to as “O-Town,” which I’ve personally always thought to be fairly unoriginal. That, plus there’s this:
And this is most certainly not the “city beautiful,” yet it’s what we seem to be most well-known for these days:
So I’m making it the mission of “Pulse of Central Florida” to come-up with Central Florida’s newest nickname. No more “O-Town.” No more “The City Beautiful.” Let’s think of something creative and catchy, that the rest of the world will catch-on to.
Any ideas? Share them with us by leaving a comment in this post.
…well, nobody! Can you believe not a single person submitted their tacky holiday sweater in our contest? I thought for certain we’d get a few. Oh well…that’s just an extra $25 in my pocket for holiday shopping!
Stay tuned to our “Contests” category for more fun promotions.
Announcing “Pulse’s” first contest! It was inspired by a post fellow Central Florida blog “Tacky Fabulous published yesterday.
While we here in the Central Florida area don’t necessarily always have a need to wear sweaters, I’m fairly certain we’ve all got a few tucked-away in our closest for the cooler days. I’ll even bet some of these are tacky, holiday sweaters. I know you guys know what I’m talking about.
Well, if they are it’s time to bring ‘em out…and show us! Submit a photo of you wearing a tacky holiday sweater by e-mailing pulseofcentralflorida[at]mail[dot]com or by leaving a link in the comments section of this original post, no later than Friday, December 5th. Of all the photos submitted we’ll post them on our site, and our readers can vote for the tackiest! The winner will receive a $25 gift card to spend however they’d like (hopefully not to buy a tacky sweater). This’ll come in handy just-in-time to finish-up holiday shopping!
