Absolute mixes up nightlife

It's another weekend in Orlando — classes are out, work is on hold and it's time to find somewhere to party and take new Facebook photos. 

The local bar scene can be a lot of fun, but it can also be repetitive.  So where do you go when you're bored with the same drink specials, the same crowded bathrooms and the same people with their lame pick-up lines?

Bryan Caracciolo has offered an alternative party scene by playing coordinator to Orlando's nightlife through his company, Absolute Entertainment. 

Caracciolo, now a junior at UCF, started Absolute Entertainment in 2006 strictly as an event staffing company. The company has expanded to provide not only bartending, photography and Web design services, but also an array of specialty events sure to trump your last weekend on University Boulevard. 

Absolute Entertainment  currently hosts Get Loose Tuesdays at Roxy, Let's Dance Thursdays at Bliss, and Club Crawls on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, which hit up Antigua, Bliss and Mako's.

"Our events are truly one of a kind," Caracciolo said.

Each tour with the Absolute team grants customers VIP status within the clubs as well as personalized drink specials.  In addition to helping partiers drink for less, Absolute provides a transportation service to and from the clubs.

On nights of events, students can catch a ride at Knight Library onto the ultimate party bus where lights are dimmed and the music is up. 

"As of now, my personal favorite event would have to be the Club Crawl just because of the variety of clubs you get to choose between and the convenient transportation we provide from Knight Library to Church Street for one fee," Caracciolo said.

Garrett Rubinstein, the director of promotions for Absolute Entertainment and a student at UCF, works along with Carocciolo arranging specials and private parties with the clubs.

Rubinstein said people should come to his events because they "bring the best-looking people who are ready to be treated different than just anyone else."

So if you want to change up your traditional night of partying, you might want to look at what Absolute Entertainment offers.

To those not yet swayed, Rubinstein said: "The night really will be a lot of fun, but it won't be unforgettable; because if you do it right, you won't remember it at all."
