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.

STRESS-FREE WEDDINGS choosing the right Limousine Service In Florida
STRESS-FREE WEDDINGS A wedding should be one of the happiest days of a personʼs life. Itʼs making a commitment to be with someone you love for the rest of your life. Still, it can also be very stressful. There is so much to think about: the dress, flowers, music, making sure warring relatives arenʼt sitting too close together. Itʼs enough to make a person think about forgetting the whole thing and investing in a ladder and a justice of the peace instead. If eloping isnʼt for you, there are several ways to get yourself through the process without going crazy. One of the most important factors is remembering that a wedding is supposed to be planned by the bride and groom- not the whole family. Politely thank anyone who offers a suggestion and let them know if you would rather do things another way. A1 Limobus has the right idea, Donʼt let anyone talk you into adding lots of expensive frills you might not be comfortable with. If they donʼt want to listen, or they are too critical of your plans, avoid them as much as possible and keep the details to yourself. Thereʼs no sense in allowing yourself to get caught up in petty arguments with someone who wants to take over the festivities. Make the planning process fun if you want to include others in it. Get a bunch of friends or family together in a casual setting with some music or a movie on and pour over those samples together while catching up on all the latest. It will create a very relaxed environment that will rub off on everyone. Just be sure at the end of the day to take some time alone or with your special someone to relax as well. Get some exercise in meditate or take a long bath to sooth yourself and recharge for another day of planning. Finally, hereʼs the most important tip: a wedding and a marriage are two different things. A wedding is just one day out of many and allowing yourself to get too caught up in making everything perfect sets a bad tone for the rest of the days to come. Itʼs a celebration of a union, nothing more. DUI: AN AVOIDABLE CRIMEKeifer Sutherland. Lindsay Lohan. Shia LeBeauf. At first look, these people donʼt seem to have much in common. They have different career paths, are in totally different types of shows and movies and one of them is also trying to be a singer. There is one thing they all have20in common, though. Each has been busted for DUI in the past year or so, with Shia being one of the more recent ones. It seems that this is a growing trend, especially in LA, and itʼs not just limited to the star set. In 2005, over 1 million people were arrested for DUI. For many, there are serious consequences to a charge like this. This includes fines, jail time and possibly losing everything they have. This is especially true if a person kills or injures someone in the process. There are steps, however, to stop something like this before it ever comes to that.The first, and most important, is planning for a night out. If you are going to be going out to a place where youʼll be drinking, bring a sober friend or family member along to get you home safely. You can also take a cab, public transportation or hire a limo driver. You can also look into services that provide safe rides home to drunk drivers. There are several out there now. Another way to avoid a problem is to look into getting an ignition interlock system. It tests a personʼs breath when they get into their car and keeps the car from starting if their blood alcohol level is above a certain number. When people are drunk, obviously they donʼt always realize it. Theyʼll resist giving up their keys, insisting they can make it home. Itʼs up to friends and family to be as calm and cool as possible to get the keys away. Theyʼll be more likely to give their keys up if the person trying to take them isnʼt yelling at them or arguing. Still, some are stubborn and no matter how nicely you try to handle the situation, they wonʼt give away their keys. In this case, if you want to make sure they get home safely, youʼll need to get the person distracted enough so you can sneak the keys away. If you are unable to get the keys away from a drunk person, do not get into the car with them and consider reporting them to local authorities. Drunk driving accidents can have tragic consequences, but are totally preventable if people take steps to protect themselves and others.

Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney is the premiere shopping and nighttime entertainment complex located inside Walt Disney World. There is no admission fee for entering Downtown Disney, and many families use Downtown Disney on their final day in Orlando as a chance to pick up last minute souvenirs and their last bit of Disney magic before heading home. Downtown Disney is split up into three sections: The Marketplace, Pleasure Island and The West Side.
The Marketplace
Most of Downtown Disney's stores are located in the Marketplace, an outdoor shopping mall. The main attraction is the World of Disney store, the largest Disney store in the world with over 50,000 square feet of merchandise. Almost every souvenir sold at Walt Disney World is found inside, besides those related to specific theme parks and rides. In the various rooms the magic of Disney is represented through huge sculptures, giant screens and even Audio-Animatronics. World of Disney is also home to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, a magical salon for girls wishing to become Disney princesses. Inside the salon girls can receive a complete makeover from a "fairy godmother in training." If you are on a budget, keep in mind that packages range from $45-$180. Booking in advance is essential to ensure an appointment. The reservation number is 407-939-7895. You will be asked to provide a credit card as a guarantee you will show up for your appointment. If you didn't get your Disney fix through World of Disney, there are many other Disney stores to visit as well. Disney's Days of Christmas celebrates yuletide all year long and sells ornaments, stockings, plush and other seasonal decorations. Disney's Wonderful World of Memories is a great place for scrapbook makers, with a large supply of craft related souvenirs, frames and books. This location is also the only place where you can get a Disney postmark on your postcards. The Art of Disney store sells high end Disney merchandise for the Disneyana fan including paintings and sculptures from talented artists. Even if you aren't a collector, it's well worth of visit to enjoy the wonderful artwork. Goofy's Candy Company is a wacky candy shop with all sorts of sugary sweets to sample. For those brave enough to tackle the sugar rush, the Oreo cookies with fudge center and elaborate toppings are heavenly. The budget-minded should head over to Mickey's Mart, where all merchandise is under ten dollars. Pooh Corner is geared toward the stroller set, with merchandise related to the classic characters of Winnie-the-Pooh as well as Playhouse Disney characters from the Disney Channel. Those with pets at home should enjoy Disney Tails, which features Disney merchandise for your pet including costumes. Catering to the new fad of pin collecting, Disney's Pin Traders offers a large selection of cloisonné Disney pins. Mickey's Pantry is a one stop shop for Disney themed kitchen supplies, including ice cube trays that make ice shaped as the famous mouse himself. Team Mickey is a large sport store, with both Disney and non-Disney items related to all things athletic. Once Upon a Toy is full of toys and games for the young and young at heart. There are other non-Disney stores at the Marketplace as well. Summer Sands is dedicated to the beach culture, and sells high end summer wear and Tommy Bahama Hawaiian shirts. At Basin, you can buy soaps and scrubs to pamper yourself with when you get back home. For the architect in all of us, the Lego Imagination Center is a large store dedicated to those wonderful colorful bricks. The impressively large sculptures outside the store made out of Lego are definitely worth a look over. At the Arribas Brothers glass shop, you can purchase beautiful works of crystal art. You can even get your crystal ware personalized from an artisan working at the shop. If you get hungry, there are also a few restaurants at the Marketplace as well. Rainforest Café immerses guests in a tropical rain forest, complete with animated figures and an occasional thunderstorm. Chocolate lovers will find heaven at Ghirardelli's Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop, which serves rich desserts and amazing ice cream sundaes. Delicious sandwiches, soups and salads can be found at The Earl of Sandwich. Pizza and pastas from the world famous chef Wolfgang Puck can be found at Wolfgang Puck Express. There's also a large McDonald's as well.
Pleasure Island
This area was once gated off and required admission to enter, now it's free to walk through but admission is required to enter the nightclubs. Parents with small children might prefer to avoid walking through Pleasure Island at night and instead take the path around it as Pleasure Island can get quite rowdy sometimes. There are five dance clubs including the Rock 'n Roll Beach Club, the 80s and 70s club 8 Trax, the top 40s club Motion, the hip-hop BET Soundstage Club and the techno-trance club Mannequins Dance Palace. There are also two comedy clubs. At the Comedy Warehouse, guests are treated to live improvisational humor and have an opportunity to affect the antics on stage. The most unique club on Pleasure Island is the Adventurer's Club. Inside you'll discover a bar themed to a 1930s gentlemen's club where costumed actors perform cabaret style shows and interact with the guests one-on-one. While the humor and atmosphere may not appeal to everyone's tastes, it is a very original concept and one-of-a-kind. There are a few shops at Pleasure Island, including one selling Harley Davidson merchandise. There's also Raglan Road, an Irish pub with good food and great live entertainment. We recommend making a reservation for Limo Service with Orlando Limo Rental to avoid run-in with the law after leaving Pleasure Island. Or you can check the GOAA “Greater Orlando Aviation Authority” for a list of permitted companies in Orlando.
The West Side
The West Side is home to many entertaining places to visit and dine at. The AMC 24plex Theater is a great place to see a first run movie while visiting the Walt Disney World resort. The two-story Virgin Megastore has a large collection of CDs, DVDs, books and related pop culture merchandise. At the House of Blues, you may enjoy a live concert from various bands that come through on tours. The world-famous Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba show features impressive acrobatic stunts combined with dazzling theatrical artistry. Hollywood memorabilia lines all the walls of the restaurant Planet Hollywood. Bongos Cafe presents diners with some delicious Cuban cuisine. There are many other shops, including a huge selection of magnets at Magnetron Magnetz, tricks and gags available at Magic Masters, all sorts of sweets at Candy Cauldron, and authentic American collectibles and memorabilia at Starabilias.
DisneyQuest
An attraction unto itself, DisneyQuest represents a more interactive side of Disney. Where most Disney attractions take you along for a ride, DisneyQuest features attractions that put the guests in control of the experience. Cyberspace Mountain lets you design a roller coaster and then actually ride it via a high-tech simulator. Music lovers can attempt to create a top 40 hit at Radio Disney Song Maker. The award winning Pirates of the Caribbean sends guests on an adventurous voyage complete with 3-D effects. On the Virtual Jungle Cruise, guests travel back in time and use paddles to virtually sail down a turbulent river filled with dinosaurs. In addition to the original attractions, DisneyQuest also features a large collection of arcade favorites, both past and present. Nearly all of the attractions inside DisneyQuest are included in the general admission price ($38.34 per adults and $31.95 per children), making it near nirvana for video game fans. To get there fast take a cheap limo ride or take a Tampa Taxi Service.
If you want to avoid crowds, do not visit Downtown Disney on Friday or Saturday nights, as many Orlando locals also use it as a nightspot. Downtown Disney is often a choice of guests on rainy days, but is honestly no better than a theme park to visit considering it's an open air environment. Downtown Disney has something for all age groups, but is probably best suited for pre-teens and older.

Prom Night, Advice From The Experts
Prom Night. For many students, it is one of the most important night of their academic life. For one night, they’re allowed to stay out almost as late as they want. It’s a celebration marking almost 4 full years of hard work and the beginning of the rest of the post-high school lives. For many, they have planned it almost from the day they first walked through the doors of their school
Unfortunately, it’s also an expensive night and some students have a hard time affording all the fancy extras that come with such a night. Others might want to do something more original for their big night. Well, there are plenty of options that are limited only by a person’s imagination. One way to make a night more special and personal is to throw your own party. Get a bunch of friends together and go to a place that has meant a lot to you during your 4 years together. Whether it’s a local park, a friend’s home or something else entirely, picking a more personalized location for a celebration will make the evening that much better and add to the many memories that were already made there
If you still wanna get all made up and go a bit more fancy, there are ways to do it without spending your entire savings. There are plenty of thrift stores no matter where you live that will surely have plenty of gorgeous dresses and suits for the occasion. Girls can spare some expense by getting together with their friends to be each other’s own hair dressers and make-up artists. The time spent getting ready also gives plenty of time to reminisce about funny things that happened during high school favorite things you did together. You can top it all off by having a bunch of you share a limo or a party bus. If everyone pays a portion of the rental, you can get a ride to remember without spending a fortune.
Some would rather have a more low-key evening. If that’s the case, you can organize a movie night or a late-night pool party. You can watch favorite movies, high-school themed ones or even hook up a stereo to play songs that were released during your high school years to play as you swim and hang out. Whatever you end up doing for the evening, remember that it is entirely up to you. It’s your night, so make it one you will remember.
