Power goes out at Parliament House Orlando on NYE before Amber’s Performance

New Years’ Eve is the biggest club night of the year and it is guaranteed to come with a HIGH level of drama. You can only imagine paying $20 to get in a club to see a performance and the power go out and you miss the entire thing. You might be on a date, have planned this for months. or have paid expensive flights to get to this big year countdown. Amber was the performer who was supposed to be on stage right after the clock struck Midnight and following fireworks. Amber is a club diva of many years so she knows how to do a show that has problems so she still came through and did an amazing performance after all. We thought it was Epic with Darcel Stevens the host of the night who had two flashlights on Amber while she was singing with no lights only sounds. The security team and all the other drag queens who had performed earlier were also out on stage with flashlights aimed at Amber. It was really neat how all this worked out.

The crazy thing is that the lights were out inside the club as well so there was no one inside dancing anymore. Dancefloor was empty and everyone went outside under the moonlight until the power went back on. You could make it over to the bar but you had to pay cash unless you already had a tab open. The power came back on during one of Amber’s bigger hits and it was the high point of the night. You can see from the video below.

One year we were at Club one in Dallas and the entire block of Deep Ellum went out of power at Midnight. We even read an email this week commenting that the Dallas bathhouse called club Dallas went out of power while parts of their train system went down. This happened just two weeks before New Years 2013.
