Six Worst Miami Pick-Up Lines, According to the Ladies

At least the photobomber in the back didn't ask Delmarys out to Scarlett's.

Listen up, fellas ... Pick-up lines rarely work. Most of the time, they are lame, cliché, and straight-up ridiculous.

That also means it takes a lot of courage (or several brewskies) to go up to an attractive lady at a bar and ask her if "it hurt when ya fell from heaven." And no, just because she may laugh, it doesn't mean you won her over. She is laughing at you.

To spare you the ridicule, here's a little piece of advice: If you find a woman by the bar, sippin' on a Sam Adams, a simple, "Hey, how are you?" will work a lot better than asking her if she's tired ... 'Cause she's been running through your mind all night.

Here are six of the worst Miami pick-up lines guys, all of which should never ever be used again.

What does a number-one song and a viral video Internet sensation get you in Miami?

If you're a street-credible DJ and producer, it gets you a sold-out show at Grand Central and a sweaty mess of bodies lovin' ever second of it.

At least, that's how it worked out for Baauer on Saturday night, as he returned to the GC stage. But this time, he was the reigning Billboard champ and headlining his own show.

It's a myth that all breakups are messy.

Just take Hialeah power-pop band Radioboxer, who announced a surprisingly amicable split last month.

"We are kind of disappointed to say there is not a scandalous reason for this decision," the four-member outfit admitted in its official goodbye letter to fans and friends.

Bloc Party Makes Miami Debut at Absolut X Party

It seems strange, but in almost ten years of record releases and world tours, Bloc Party had never played Miami until last night.

A celebration was in order, so Absolut vodka teamed up with artist Agustina Woodgate to transform Soho Studios into an interactive wonderland of booze, rainbows and great tunes. It was called Absolut X, and much hashtagging was encouraged.

It was a great party, apparently so great you had to show up an hour and a half early just to make it in.

"50 concerts, 50 states, one day" ...

Just a couple of weeks ago, we here at Crossfade announced that Bud Light Music First tour would be coming to Miami.

Other cities had already gotten their headliners, including Kendrick Lamar and The Hold Steady, for "Bud Light Music First's grand finale, 50/50/1." And 'cause this is the 305 (and you know, ""¡Ya Se Armó!"), we predicted that Pitbull would be headlining the SoFla show.

But surprise! We're getting Canadian indie-pop crew Metric!
