Red Bull Flugtag – Miami

This past weekend I served as a host for the Red Bull Flugtag event in Miami. FYI…”Flugtag” is German for “Flight Day.”

A MASSIVE EVENT!!

It was an all-day affair where we hosted a LIVE TV broadcast on screens all over the park, along with Dan Levy (pictured), Tina Dixon and Uncle E. I think it’ll end up on FSN at some point this fall.

It was the 2010 kick off for a 4 city U.S. – tour of the annual festival where teams compete by creating different and sometimes wacky “flight” craft to launch from a flight deck!

It was crazy HOT in downtown Miami at Bayfront Park and the crowd was estimated somewhere between 85k to 100k between folks in the park and boaters in the water!

Super Bowl – Miami

WHO DAT!! Another Super Bowl has come and gone and a big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to the New Orleans Saints! Super Bowl XLIV took place in my backyard (aka South Beach), back to back with the Pro Bowl…and as always it’s a time of year when I get to visit with friends who live both near and far! My good friend Gaby came from AZ to hang…and first on the agenda was “Rock the Game” ..well actually, I was working the red carpets at the Seminole Hard Rock’s many events…so she helped me out! 😉

Then we took a stroll down Ocean Drive as we made our way to the Hennessey Penthouse…and man did the Saints fans dominated the landscape, setting up shop in and around “Fat Tuesday’s” …go figure! It was a WHO DAT party at the Tide studio…lol

Day turned to night and we met up with Dara and Rene to hit up Nikki Beach

Flavor Battle

dscn0922

My good friend and a Miami FAVORITE – DJ Irie is competing in the McDonald’s Flavor Battle! Who knew the “golden arches” were so down for an element of hip-hop!?!? The national DJ competition has Irie facing off against the legendary Salt-N-Pepa DJ, Spinderella and songwriter/producer Bryan-Michael Cox.

In this “spin off,” each DJ is reppin’ their own Mickey D’s burger, the Third Pound Angus (Irie), Big Mac (Spin) and the Double Quarter Pounder w/Cheese (B. Cox), and then people can vote for each DJ based on their old-school, new-school and R&B mixes.

The competition is now winding down in its final two weeks…so make sure to VOTE VOTE VOTE!!! http://365black.com Personally I think the Third Pound Angus burger is the way to go…I’m just sayin’!! 🙂 “FLAVOR BATTLE” anybody?? I hope IRIE wins…maybe that’ll mean free burgers FOR LIFE!! lol …writing this is making me HUNGRY!!

ELECTRO NIGHT

Creativas Group honored me once again by asking me to host  “ELECTRO NIGHT,” an event to launch the all new Title sports drink! The event was a huge success and many athletes and Miami-ans came to support the festivities.

One of the faces of Title, Miami Dolphins Ronnie Brown (center) made a cameo appearance…

Several professional athletes turned out for the festivities including Miami Dolphins (l-r) Nate Jones, Anthony Fasano, and Akin Ayodele, along with the man behind Title and NBA San Antonio Spurs Roger Mason Jr.
