Last night was The Mars Volta concert at The Fillmore Miami Beach! I've been looking forward to this one for awhile. Not that I'm the biggest MV fan in the world, but any I don't miss any opportunity to see a great live band now that I'm out of the concert-heaven that is NYC. The show ROCKED and I've always thought Cedric Bixler Zavala is a total babe and an incredible performer. I love my friends here, but unfortunately since I was with Raso and Cahill from my office + Richard and DJ Oreo, none of the men accompanying me shared my excitement. Luckily Miss Merch and Jenny Applebaum were both in text-happy modes from NYC to share in the Cedric gazing.
Midway through the epic Volta show, I received a New York Times Breaking News Alert on my Blackberry. Assuming it had something to do with the war or politics, I opened it. Much to my surprise, it was the announcement of LN Artists' $150 Million deal with Jay-Z! Check It.
I live on the Miami side of the city (as opposed to Miami beach) so I am in a comfortable biking distance to my office. However, since this city is lacking in progressive ideals in various ways, there is no public transportation to the beach. Technically there are busses which I will attempt to figure out again. But I had a disaster attempt plotting out my journey to Whole Foods one day in which the city's website told me to take the 101 or 103 but when I showed up the busses were defined by a letter system. Anyway, luckily, my friend Paddy manages a super cool band called The Jean Marie who also live on the Miami side in The Design District. Richard from the band offered a ride to the show on his vintage motorcycle!! I Just glanced on his Flickr page to see if there was a photo but he has an overwhelming amount to go through, so you'll have you use your imagination. Trust me, it was cool. And if you're looking for a better view when coming to/from Miami Beach, always opt for the Venetian Causeway even if there is a $1.50 toll. Thanks again Richard!
Much Love,

Look girl - you've been living here for over 3 months (and lord knows how much research you did before getting here!) yet you incorrectly describe Miami and Miami Beach as different sides of the same city. Not true...you and I live in different towns, with different mayors and city halls. Just like New York and Jersey City. :-)
