Needless to say I was pretty stoked when I saw an e-mail come my way about the February 23rd show.

One of the interesting things about this particular Velvet Sessions, is The Lemonheads are going to perform each track from their cult classic “It’s A Shame About Ray” from start to finish. Suh-weet!

This is one of the album’s more well-known tracks:

As you know tickets are $29 in advance online, and $35 at the door. There are also VIP packages available for $50 (includes special viewing area and private bar). For additional details and to purchase tickets visit VelvetSessions.com.

The Park

Walking up to the admissions area guests are faced with this iconic image:

Sure, I’d seen that before. No biggie. I was not at all prepared, however, for what I was about to see once I walked through the front gates:

I mean, can you even get over the massive amount of gators? They’re everywhere. Small ones. Big ones. Gigantic ones! Out. Of. Control!

The Zip Line

So after being in much awe of these animals living basically in our backyard, we headed over to get suited-up and safety training for the Zip Line. We really, really wanted to take some photos and video while on the one-hour plus excursion, but for obvious reasons we couldn’t take our cameras. Here’s a look at what you can expect:

And here’s your Pulse team all suited-up and ready to go! Hawt, right? We’re strongly thinking about making this our everyday wardrobe.

You can get a whole lotta more info on the Gatorland Screamin’ Gator Zip Line.

I have to say we truly had a blast finally seeing what this Central Florida treasure is all about. We highly recommend if you’re looking for something a little different to do one of these upcoming weekends.

In the interest of full disclosure, Gatorland was kind enough to provide us with complimentary experiences of the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line.

Ridiculous Amounts of Fun, Exhibit A:

Ash Bouncing at AirHeads! from Kim Taylor on Vimeo.

AirHeads doesn’t need much explanation; from the moment you walk in, sensory overload sets in. You see a giant Connect 4 game, tons of arcade-like games, and wall-to-wall trampolines. It’s pretty amazing.  AirHeads is all ages and they do their best to group jumpers together according to size, which definitely works to everyone’s advantage (hello, have you seen my jumping?!).

Amazingness, Exhibit B:

If you need more reasons to check out AirHeads, they also have Dodgeball Thursday nights and calorie-busting fitness classes, totally cannot wait to try those!!

AirHeads Orlando is located just outside Downtown Orlando at 33 West Pineloch Avenue. Do yourself a favor, skip two lattes and use the cash here … it’ll be way more fun!
