Blue Man Group Is Returning To Orlando
If you’re looking to check out a great show unlike any other, Blue Man Group is returning to Orlando. I first saw Blue Man Group about 8 years ago in Las Vegas. They have an ongoing show there at Luxor and my friend Corky was playing as a drummer and I got the invite when I was out there on vacation. It was a show unlike anything I’ve ever seen and I loved everything about it. There’s great music, plenty of laughs and it’s just a party that makes for fun for the whole family. My brother is a drummer, so I’ve been wanting to take him to experience it for himself, knowing he’ll love it too, and now we have a way to see it a little closer to home.

Survey: Traffic Worse Than Alligators
(Press Release) MIAMI (June 26, 2024) - According to a recent survey,* 80% of South and Central Florida parents are planning a family “staycation,” “nearcation”, or day trip this summer. And, while 64% of parents say they’ll take a family road trip of at least 5 hours in length this summer, they do have some concerns. The majority of parents (64%) called gas prices today “insanity,” “annoying,” or “destructive,” and 68% of parents agree that “traffic in Florida is such a nightmare it makes [them] less likely to want to travel in the summer.” In fact, a majority of parents (59%) would rather find an alligator in their pool than get stuck in traffic during a family road trip. Florida summer traffic jams are so painful that the typical parent would pay $530 to make the cars in front of them disappear when stuck on the road during a long trip.
