Port Miami!
by Hexepatty
The Port of Miami remains the undisputed "Cruise Capital of the World." Miami home-ported 18 cruise ships and nearly 3.6 million passengers in Fiscal Year 2002. The port's impact on Miami-Dade County is estimated at more than $8 billion and 45,000 jobs. One out of every three North American cruise passengers sails from Miami. What can I say? I am a Trans Junky! I love these kinda facts and often used them in my Principles of Trans class I taught...

Hip and Hopping in South Beach
by balisunshine about Various
Even when you are a South Beach resident,
keeping up with the
happenings of the nightlife
can be an ever shifting challenge.
Night clubs open and close,
changing ownerships and names,
and then having different parties and themes
for diverse nights of the weeks.
A lot of editorials and web-sites
are also outdated in their information
having a difficult time keeping up
with the times.
The Miami Herald's 'Street',
does a pretty good job in keeping up to date,
while the Miami New Times
often has outdated info in it.
If you are into celebrity filled
hip-hop parties,
Opium Garden;
www.opiummiami.com
has been known
to house the best hip-hop party
in the nation on Sunday night's Ritual party.
Another good source
is getting the word
right out of the horses mouth,
the promoters.
A rising hip-hop promoter
is Michael Madd, who claims,
"I DON'T THROW PARTIES,
I MAKE MUSIC & CREATE VIBES...."
hosts parties at venues such as:
Thursday night at Crobar;
Friday night at Rumi's;
Saturday night at Pearl's;
Sunday night at Mynt
and other parties in NYC.

Stay tuned for more on South Beach's night life to come. Cool Dude!
How you DONT want to get around
by HotSpotJ
Be safe and courteous when you're down here partying. Yes, there are just as many trouble starters here as there is anywhere you involve alcohol and hot women. Don't get caught up in it, I've noticed that they have beefed up the Police on Ocean over the past few years. You might get a free ride but its not going back to your hotel room.
