A little of this, a little of that.

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...

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!
