Hi everybody ! Some might remember me I was the french dude that were going in vacation in Miami and asking for tips and all...

So long story short our time in Miami will be starting at the end of the next week, so my fiancée and I are very excited. Also with the help of some of you especially @gom @heat4life @Heat3 for many tips.

I still have some questions for you local guys :

1) I bought 2 tickets for Heat vs Mavs at the end of this month. We have to get tickets at Will Call. Is it at the AAA (I suppose it is) ? Is it better to get tickets not on "game day" and also up to which day before the game can we get them ?

2) For gameday, how can we go to the AAA without it being a pain in the ass and pay an unhealthy amount for parking lol ? We are from Paris so we know what it looks like 20k to 80k people going into a stadium and the Indiana Jones like journey it can be :lol:

3) Do you guys know any cool bar... Like not the upstanding stuff with flashy people but not a student pub with half of people drunk to death... Like just cool for a couple wanting a drink and maybe eat a little.

Thanks in advance :D

Tickets purchased in advance can be left at the Will Call Window, located on the north side of the Arena next to Gate 3. You must have a valid photo ID to receive your tickets. Just pick up your tickets a few hours early then head off across the street to Bayside for dinner and drinks before game.

2) For gameday, how can we go to the AAA without it being a pain in the ass and pay an unhealthy amount for parking lol ? We are from Paris so we know what it looks like 20k to 80k people going into a stadium and the Indiana Jones like journey it can be :lol:

Uber or Lyft to game

3) Do you guys know any cool bar... Like not the upstanding stuff with flashy people but not a student pub with half of people drunk to death... Like just cool for a couple wanting a drink and maybe eat a little.

Bayside right across the street from AAA has plenty of casual type restaurants and bars

Thanks in advance :D

My wife bought a top of the line laser printer a couple years ago. Spent too much money on it. Since then, I've never had more trouble getting a printer to print a damn document than this POS.

My wife has been on me about sending some documents to our accountant, so I decided to do so this morning first thing. Tried sending an email with the appropriate attachments, and got an error message stating that my company wouldn't allow me to send the documents. Never seen that before. Tried a couple more times as my two year old is climbing on my head, and needless to say, was getting a bit frustrated.

I decided to just print the documents, scan them and email them. That's when this goddamn printer decided it didn't want to work again. Talking about getting your buttons pushed. Bout went Office Space on it.

Another state championship, another opportunity for São Paulo to redeem themselves after many failures. Here are the quarter final matchups:

We get Palmeiras this Saturday.

Just came back from my time in Miami (and Keys), I definitely had great times and I'm happy I chosed it for my first time in the US. It was so amazing and weird at the same times on so much differents levels/subjects (I could write like 2 pages about it lol) but it was some of the best vacations I ever had.

I was at the game against the Mavs, I know there were slovens fans who came with the heat (pun intended), but you definitely have a nice fanbase which isn't see from the outside (more even from Europe).

I were in the lower level section 10 row from the court, but honestly it feels like 60% of the people (not slovens) in this area (can't talk for higher level) just came as "ow there's some nba game let's eat something while they are playing" rather than what happens on the actual court. Even my girlfriend was really way more into it than the people I'm talking about.

Then it feels like if mid 3rd quarter it is a close game (like against the Mavs) then everybody wakes up and start noticing the game and cheers up.

Glad you had a good time. As for what you said, unfortunately it is true, there are quite a few people in the lower level who go to the games just to be seen and not so much for the game itself. It's like that in a lot of big city arenas. But Miami can be extra special at times. I was also sitting in the lower bowl during the Chris Bosh retirement game, and the all the ladies behind me would talk about was which players they wanted (or have tried) to sleep with :roll:

But I also saw a guy wearing shorts and flip-flops to the game....dude came in f****** chancletas!! :lol: That's Miami for you.

Yes you totally describe what I saw. Especially those type of girls... and let's not talk about mister "I don't know nothing about basketball but I'm a specialist for the day" as he brings his date/girl who just can't wait for the game to finish after she took pictures for insntagram. And at the sametime in the area I saw a fat phillipino with a Birdman wig, a wallmart Steve Francis lookalike and weird dad who prolly had too much pints who were shouting their lungs out :lol:

São Paulo and Palmeiras were 0-0 in their first game. Corinthians and Santos play their first game tomorrow. The decision to find out who will play in the final is next weekend.
