The name came from a real APARTMENT... that is long gone.. but the feeling and the determination to IMPROVE my living conditions (physically and emotionally), still thrives inside of me. Frankie Messina. I am only one man though... We all have our own story. The world is tough sometime, but it is not going to make a VICTIM out of me. I have something to say... I have a mission.. and I hope "YOU" can take an example from me, and show your "POWER" to the world too. I would be honored to be instrumental in your CREATIVE awakening.... through a few of my events presented by APARTMENT E.
-here is more about my experience... (I can't wait to hear yours-)..... APARTMENT E was an actual apartment that I lived in, in Orlando, Florida, in 1993.. I was having many difficulties and problems, and I looked in the mirror one day and said, "That's it! "..I gathered about 15 friends together and we started having get- togethers to achieve a better way of living, and to share all the talents and good feelings that we all desired... (the entire story of APARTMENT E is all about this, this is the short version)., We then grew into a nice group of creative locals in Orlando that continued having years of great parties. Celebrating everything local.. I have made many friends and contacts.. and I am proud to say that the name APARTMENT E is planted into the cultural landscape of Orlando. On Feb 9th 2008, I had a 15th anniversary party that gathered around 250-300 people wishing me well, and congratulating me on my many years of sticking to my dream. I am happy about this, and the future is brighter than ever. To define APARTMENT E in a short paragraph like I am trying to type here is difficult, but it is simply a roving party and support group for a lot of good people.. and we are looking for you. . We are shooting to GO around the WORLD with many. many creative, unique venues... For now we are still having fun moving it around.,and jumping head first into this new project in downtown Orlando. meeting "loads" of new people along the way. Locally, and around the world.... (where ya at?) Come be a part of Orlando and WORLD history being made, many more art shows, music nights, and a lot of surprise events. I am moving my desires to EXPLODE onto the world stage with the "Core" ideas of APARTMENT E. Celebrating the individual power that everyone has. THE gifts that you have are important. Many events are planned... all leading up to a WORLD caliber party, slated for Oct. 10th, 2010! THE WORLD ART AND MUSIC SUMMIT! get on board now!. YOU count... your life counts, and we need your energy... The best thing for a stranger to know here, is that to get involved with us in any way, is a good thing. The networking and exposure that you can get is incredible, and APARTMENT E, can only grow bigger with your input and energy. Our deepest gratitude to all of our long-time friends of APARTMENT E. Thank you. I can't wait to see you all again at the next get-together or at one of your events! Especially , I can not wait to meet all you new folks for the first time.........and we can create new stuff!
peace to you
and take care, Frankie Messina
