Hello, everyone. So, is everyone ready for Halloween? Be sure to stop by our MySpace and catch up with us if you need a nice ride to get to some of those parties I mentioned. For those of you out there who are gonna go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood with the kids, here's a good site that provides some safety tips for kids. There are also links to cheap costumes, urban myths about candy and other cool stuff.
On a more serious note, I was browsing local news and came across this story about a woman in need of some blood. She's a firefighter with a rare blood disorder that could kill her should she get a cold. Here's the link to get more information and find out where you can get tested to see if you're a match.
Finally... here's a real heart warmer. A man had brought his dog to play with his daughter's dogs and the dog turned up missing. Later on, he got a call saying the dog had been identified via microchip by a vet.... in Chicago! Click here to find out how the dog's getting home...

Do you have talent?
Florida has a place to show it. I just got a notice that the Le Pavillon club in North Miami is having open mike nights! They're opening it up to musicians, comedians, poets and art- how cool is that? You can find their myspace page and get more info here. If you go, be sure to get video of it and link us to it in the comments. Local talent has to be seen, right?
Also... I was browsing youtube today and came across this video from the Everglades Safari Park.
Wow does that take me back. It's nice watching on the video, but it's nothing compared to actually being there and seeing all the beauty up close. I remember, though, there was one downside to the airboats- they are loud! Thankfully, they were giving away earplugs for people to use. Have you been there? Comment and share your stories. I guess that's about it for now. I'll see you all soon! Take care and head on over to see us on MySpace, too!

Another "what were they thinking"....
So, first a lady opts to go to jail rather than pay 7 bucks for a meal. Now? A couple guys are in some serious trouble for using a BB gun while stealing some spray deodorant. Seriously... is Old Spice really that great? Just shell out the cash already....
By the way.... early voting is underway in South Florida, so get out there and make your choice now! It'll save ya a lot of hassle on November 4th.
Finally... I found this cool video showing off some of the animals at Sea World. I remember going there when I was a kid and being in awe of them all. Especially the whales. Check it out below and look for other cool videos in the days and weeks to come. Take care!!!

A promise is a promise....
And I am one who keeps my word. That said, I spent quite a bit of time today going over local halloween events and here are some suggestions for those of you who don't yet know what you're doing on Oct. 31st:Family Friendly Events:
The Little Farm Pumpkin Patch has been going on since the 13th and will stay open through Halloween night. You can eat pumpkin and your kids can ride ponies. For more creative people, you'll be able to make your very own scarecrows. It's located at 22400 SW 134th Ave in Miami.
MetroZoo is once again holding MetroBoo for families to enjoy halloween. The best part? Kids 12 and under can take part in a costume contest. Visit the site for more info and to call ahead if you want to check on hours and admission prices.
Halls of Terror Haunted House is being held now at the The Super Wheels Skating Center until November 1st. They charge 13.00 to get in, but that price gives you unlimited skating as well. Call (305) 270-3986 if you want more information about it.
Finally, there's the Early Evening of Spooky Adventures at Gold Coast Railroad Museum. There's going to be storytelling, trick or treating and other cool stuff. You can get more details if you call 305-253-0063.
Clubs and Stuff that Might Be Too Much for the Kids:
Halloween Horror Nights is held at Universal Orlando and is a pretty popular event. Some horror movie characters are featured there, too. I know a person who'd want to be there just to see Jason from Friday the 13th. :)
Confession Secrets Unmasked is a club party that features free drinks until 1AM and lets women in free. They'll also have Black Chiney Willy Chin there to provide some entertainment. Call Damion at 954-673-4690 to get some more information.
Club Deep will have their Hallowen 08 party from 8PM until 2AM. They're located at 621 Washington Ave in Miami. Check the link or call 305-532-1509 to find out more.
Finally, check out Spirits Halloween Party for great costumes and a wild time. They're at 5729 Seminole Way in Hollywood (The Hard Rock). You can call 954 327-9094 to get more information about the party.
Well, that's about it. Hope this helps y'all figure out what to do on Halloween night. As for me? I'll be catching up on some scary movies at home this year and enjoying some spooky tunes. In the spirit (ha, ha) of the night, I'll leave ya with the video "Thriller" which will proably always be my favorite video at halloween no matter what. Enjoy!!! And don't forget to visit us on MySpace or check the site if you need transportation.

And over in the "what were they thinking" category...
A Fort Pierce resident was arrested and sent to jail because she refused to pay for her meal. A whole 7 dollars and change. I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I'd be pretty embarrassed to show my face in town again after that one. She didn't give any explanation for why she refused to pay. Come on- the service and food couldn't have been that bad.
On the slightly less embarrassing and odd side of things... Our very own Cape Canaveral was the site of something pretty historic. A texas guy paid millions to hitch a ride into space recently. The real historic part of it? It's the first time someone has followed a family member into space (his father was an astronaut). Check out the full story here. When you're done reading, why not hop on over to out MySpace page and say hi. We love new friends!
Still don't have plans for Halloween? Check back tomorrow to hear about some cool places to spend the evening. Later!

Event Alert!!!
There is a lot to do around here if you're visiting Florida (or
living here). The year's calendar is packed with events and one of
those is the Stone Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival. The event has
been here for almost two decades now and is held at Longboat Key,
Florida. This year, it's running from November 13th through the 16th.
If you're into good food and drink, this is going to be the place to
be. They have plenty of activities and good food planned for the
festival's run. One of the first will be Culinary Demonstrations on
the 14th and 15th. It's going to be a relaxed morning where you can
watch some of the best chefs prepare their specialties, each served
with just the right wine for it. The one downside is, they're only
letting 125 people into these demonstrations to keep up an intimate
feel. The cost to attend is $90.00.
Friday evening will be a little more expensive, but a lot more
exciting to people who love the nightlife. Chefs will use Florida
Stone Crab to make some of their favorite seafood meals. Like in the
morning, wines that are designed to go with the meals will get served
starting at 7 PM. The best part, though, is it will be held on the
beach and will feature a swimming pool and lots of live music. Going
to this one will cost you about $200.00.
Finally, there's going to be a Gala on the 15th where the chefs will
serve a 7-course meal, with fancy decorations, wine and dancing.
It'll be held at the Colony's restaurant and tickets cost $245.00.
Check the website at colonyfl.com to get more information about
tickets and events. Also, consider choosing A1 limos for your
transportation needs. Whether you want a fancy limo for two or a
party bus for a large group, they have what you need. Check their
website at http://www.a1limobus.com for more information and to get
your quote today. They also have a myspace page located at
http://www.myspace.com/ericlimoman where you can get all the latest
information about them and become their friends. One of the perks of
being their myspace buddy is you can get passes to some of the
hottest clubs out there for free as well as other little extras here
and there.

Party Bus Orlando
Hello and good day. I wanted to let you know of a recent agreement that A1 Limousine of Central Florida made with Metropolis Services. So you know, A1 Limo is the largest supplier of Hummer Limousines and Party Buses in Orlando Florida. We have partnered up with Metropolis Services to be our exclusive mini bus / shuttle bus partner in the Orlando area. So when your budget may not justify a Luxury Party Bus in Orlando or Tampa, then you may choose to use a standard shuttle bus which costs less then a limo bus for sure. So please keep us in mind for any transportation needs in the future.
