Flight of the Conchords Tour Date Announcement!

fotcToday is one of the best days of my life!!  I just saw the tour schedule for the “Flight of the Conchords ” and I am truly amazed that they are coming to Miami.  Only very mainstream acts come here. And as you can tell, I  am a HUGE fan of the show.

They may be going to your city also.  For the Florida dates Kristen Schaal (Mel) will be the opener, and Arj Barker (Dave) will be opening on quite a few nights.  Check out the schedule (as per Ticketmaster & their myspace page) below.

Too bad the Miami show is on a Tuesday, I wanted to wear my business socks.

Why don’t I see Juanes when I go to Target?

90128x5_juanes_b_gr_03Colombian mega star Juanes was spotted with his family shopping at Target and Best Buy in Miami yesterday.  I live in Miami.  I shop at Target AND at Best Buy.  I have never seen anyone remotely as amazing at Juanes at either of those places.

Once I saw Jon Secada and his family at “The Shops at Sunset Place,” does that count?

Matt Damon hearts Miami

mattjoggingMost major celebrities have called Miami home at some point.  Madonna, Ricky Martin, Oprah, Owen Wilson, Silvester Stallone, and the names can go on and on.  Matt Damon is letting the world know that he is a Miami resident and he is here to stay.

Matt talks to the Miami Herald and confesses why he loves Miami the most.

”The business definitely does not require you to live in Hollywood, at least not for me at this point in my career,” Damon says. “Very, very few of my movies get shot in Los Angeles. And here, I don’t have to deal with any of the nonsense.

“All the paparazzi live in L.A. There are guys waiting outside the gates to your house 24/7. But here, my wife and I figured out pretty quickly, it’s only on the weekends, because Miami paparazzi have day jobs. They can’t hang around all the time. So we just never go out on the weekends. The only time I leave is to go jogging.

‘One of the guys stopped me once and said, `Can’t you do something besides jog? I’ve got like 20,000 pictures of you jogging.’ And I said, ‘Man, that’s the whole point.’ ”

Matt and his wife Luciana live in Miami with their 3 daughters Isabella, Gia, and Alexia. (Luciana’s daughter from a previous marriage.)

LMFAO-I’m in Miami Trick!

I had never heard of this group until my buddy Jonny reviewed “LMFAO” in his latest edition of “My Virgin Ears.”
Yes we may be partial to the song being from Miami and all but it’s a fun song you can jam to in your car or at the latest “in club” on South Beach.

Check out their tv debut on “Last Call with Carson Daly” last night.

South Beach Comedy Festival starts tomorrow!
