Club Reports: Church Street Block Party, Independent Bar, Peek Downtown, Vinyl Arts Bar

The only time it ever rains in Orlando at night is if a cold front is passing through or there is a tropical storm nearby. Not sure which is to blame for last night's rain showers but it did not put a damper on downtown's Halloween festivities including the Church Street Block Party!
DJ Scott King (USA) was on the main stage when I passed by and he was playing an EDM set!
The rain would end before midnight but there was already a decent crowd gathering for the event!
With Halloween on a Tuesday this year, last night was the de facto night to put on your costume and get crazy!

 Of course we know Scott King from his numerous events at Disney Springs and Pleasure Island before that!
You know by now if it's at all possible on a Saturday night, I'm going to drop by Independent Bar!
Just as it should be, DJ Indie John (USA) in the perch playing 80's New Wave!
Dance floor was beginning to gain some credibility!
At times it was hard to tell the costumed people from the normal people!
Spotted on the dance floor: Cristine & Krista
Spotted in the booth: DJ Indie John with his lovely wife Laraine (right), daughter (left) & friend (far left).
Spotted in the front room: Craig, Jen, Ellen & Virginia
Always a fun time at I-Bar!
Now over to Peek Downtown for more fun!
Gustavo was in the booth during my visit.
The bar was busy.
As was the dance floor!
Spotted: DJ Carlos Mendoza (USA) with friends. Mendoza is one of the DJ's playing at Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando which is less than 2 weeks away now!
Spotted at the bar: DJ Nemesis with friend.
House music all night long!
Last stop Vinyl Arts Bar.
Arrived just in time to see proprietor Wilson hosting the costume contest!
And there were some good ones!
Sorry for the bleach-out guys! After the contest, DJ Brian Busto (USA) turning the reins over to Kimball Collins (USA)!
Kimball would start fast with his Progressive House set. But did I hear a Breaks song in there? Did I hear a Trance song in there?
The place was packed too!
I previously described Kimball's show here in July as the largest crowd I've ever seen at VAB. Last night's numbers may have eclipsed that!
Of course Kimball's do not miss "These Are The Breaks" show on Thanksgiving Eve will pack The Beacham. The lineup includes DJ Icey, Dave Cannalte and a one-time return set from DJ Baby Anne! Since this could sell out, you are urged to get your advance tickets now. Link.
Spotted on the dance floor: Shelley with DJ Timebomb.
Spotted up front: DJ Def Jeff
Spotted on the dance floor: Ash
Spotted by the booth: World Famous Shawn Fenn
Spotted in VIP: Gina & John
Spotted by the art wall: East Side Angie & Christa
Spotted by the bar: DJ Jerry The Reverend & Kelli.
Spotted dancing: Stacey
Spotted leading the dancers: Aaron
Vinyl Arts Bar looks like it's built in an old house with the dance floor and DJ in the former living room!
And the bar in the former kitchen!
Kimball doesn't just play music; he takes you on a journey.
Always a great vibe in the room at his shows.
And costume or no costume, a good time was had by all!
