Beyond Tampa Bay: Free event at Miami Convention Center

As a member of the press I am often invited to events. I sometimes get to cover things I'm invited to for Channel 10s Metromix and sometimes I cover them for the Yahoo! Contributor Network. I have been invited to an event in Miami Beach and I'm so excited about it I'll be posting some beyond Tampa Bay freebies up to the weekend I leave for Miami. If the posts get good responses I'll start doing a Beyond Tampa Bay section more often for people thinking about vacations!

I will be in Miami May 20 through the 22nd and will be covering the EXXXOTICA 2011 expo for the Yahoo! Contributor Network!!! On the Friday of the show there is a FREE event!!

From the EXXXOTICA site:

You heard right! For the first time ever in Miami Beach, we’re letting ALL chicks in for FREE on Friday, May 20th. We’re using Einstein’s most famous equation: More girls = More fun. We first did this last year at our New Jersey event and it was an HUGE success. HUGE! There were so many girls there, you would have thought you were at a Jack Johnson concert.

So if you are lacking man parts, show up on Friday and you’re in for free!

NOTE: Ladies who come on Friday will get FREE general admission and FREE entrance to the VIP Lounge. If they would like to upgrade to a VIP Admission (entrance into the after party, free tee shirt, messenger bag, DVD, schwag, etc.) they will be able to upgrade on-site for a fee of $35)

Just had to share this

Advertisements crack me up! Usually what the big print giveth the small print taketh away, but this is just hilarious. I had to share it. The wording is just... well...weird

The ad is for a product called Ooma that is touting free phone service with the purchase of the Ooma device and monthly taxes and fees. I thought free meant free. This sounds like free with purchase.
