The Queues – Waiting By The Phone Music Video

Someone recently followed our @orlandoscene account on twitter from Orlando-based Glowmobile Recording Co. One of their artists is The Queues (myspace, facebook).

The Queues – Waiting By The Phone from Alex Wolfe on Vimeo.

This is the music video for The Queues’ song Waiting By The Phone. Directed by Alex Wolfe, Written By Jarl Sonkin, Rob Wintour, Jonathan Hamilton, and Alex Wolfe.

I enjoyed the video, and the production quality… and the song is pretty good, too! Give it a listen. It’s much longer than a normal music video, because the song is baked into the story. I’d like to see this group enter their video in the next Orlando Comedy Video Sketch Fest on October 14th at the Gallery at Avalon Island.

Eternal Instincts: Jessica Earley (by Hannah)

Yes our puppet-loving friend Hannah Miller (of Thunderhag) is up to it again, this time with a video documenting a recent art opening at Taste by another one of our featured creators on this site, Jessica Earley.

via YouTube

Jessica’s show at Taste is her first solo show, and the entire show depicts mothers, girls grappling with the state of being a mother, and the fact that they are able to become mothers.

A blurb from the Daily City had this to say:
From Jessica Earley at Taste

Jessica Earley (Audience Choice Awards, Blunder Bungle, Interview) has her first solo show *ever* June 11, 2010 7-9pm at Taste (717 W Smith Street). Free admission. Drink specials. She describes the show as this: “There will be boobies, there will be babies, there will be blood (really).”

Not to mention the purple hair, but WTF?

St. Cloud opens a Business Incubator with UCF

http://www.incubator.ucf.edu/Locations/stcloud.html

While communities across the nation seek new ways to generate local economic development and job growth without spending millions of dollars, St. Cloud and Osceola County took a big step forward recently with the formal dedication of the new UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud facility at 3201 Budinger Ave. in St Cloud.

Gordon Hogan, director of operations for the UCF Business Incubation Program, said the launch of the new 14,000 square foot facility marks a new era of economic development activity in Osceola County.

Four incubation client companies are locating offices in the new facility immediately, Hogan said, and the UCF Business Incubation Program expects to name a full time site manager in less than 30 days. Eventually, the UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud could accommodate as many as 20 client companies.

Business incubators rank among the most cost-effective ways to generate sustainable local economic growth. Since 1999, the UCF Business Incubation Program has helped more than 140 emerging companies generate more than $800 million in annual revenues and more than 1,600 new jobs with an average salary of $59,000.

Research has shown that 87 percent of incubator graduates are still in business five years after graduating from an incubation program, said UCF’s Business Incubation Program Founder Dr. Tom O’Neal.

“The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will provide a wide range of services to accelerate the growth of promising young companies so they can play a greater role in economic expansion in the local area,” Hogan explained.

The UCF Business Incubation Program currently supports nearly 90 client companies, Hogan said, and ranks as one of the premier university-based incubation programs in the U.S.

“St. Cloud is very excited to have one of the premiere incubation programs in the country in St. Cloud. The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will not only assist in growing our own companies, but will help to achieve the long-time goal of diversification in the local job markets and the overall economy,” said Ernie Gearhart, Economic Development Consultant for the City of St. Cloud.

The St. Cloud incubator facility is one of eight in the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation program. Additional incubator facilities are located at UCF Campus, Research Park in east Orlando, and in Orlando, Sanford, Winter Springs and Leesburg.

In this crazy hurricane we call Internet Video, I get a jones for finding things that were made in my backyard. I hope these little blogs can bring a bit of that joy to you, and maybe help you make a new friend. It's the least I can do.
