No Heat!

I am freezing my friggin' toes off in this stupid freezing apartment and dreaming of sinking them deep into the warm South Beach sand. Oh how I long to dance the day away under the hot sun. Please of please oh please remove me from the cold wasteland of concrete canyons!

My partner and I are celebrating 20 years in 2010 and this trip would be the ultimate celebration!

Need a taste of life!

Out of work since 2007, losing my mind trying to find something to do that will get me back on track.
Can't really justify fun that costs when I should be searching for work.

However, I've got miles and time, so this would be justifiably fine.

A beach, men & a tan would definitely be revitalizing!

Winter Party

I have been financially and emotionally stress this past months. This will be the ultimate Prize to meet people, dance and let loose. Would love to win take my bf who is half out of the closet and snow him the gay event of the year.

Horrible 2010 so far!

Submitted by cesargcm19 on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 4:55pm.

I love circuit parties but never had the chance to go to Winter Party. I was supposed to go this year but with all the money lost in investments, my car being stolen, and my recent break up (all happened in 2010)... it's out of my league. I am dying to get out of this cold for once but can't afford the ticket. I'm South American so this weather is torture for me!

Charity Project

Submitted by ztalpnielk on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 5:09pm.

I am going to South America via Miami to start a Charity for the poorest college-bound students, who cannot afford tuition. It will involve networking with the USA. In addition, I hope to help HIV persons, who cannot afford their meds in another South American country. What a wonderful Karmic reward to win this contest. If I don't, may G-d bless those who help me with my causes. I won't sleep until I complete my mission.

First Time for Everything

Submitted by johnnyboyB on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 5:56pm.

I met a great guy who is new to the scene. His first time to a gay bar was just this week! He is as horny as hell but says he wants his first time to be something 'special'. I had a few suggestions but cant get him to let loose yet.
The sight of all of those gorgeous men will surely get his hormones raging and the two us.... you know!

For the sake of his sexual health and mine, send us to Winter Party!

Snowjobs to Blowjobs, Miami here I cum!!

Submitted by CP on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 10:26am.

I am a loyal reader of NEXT Magazine and am in need of a great dance party. I'm tired of all the snowjobs I get in NYC, I wanna get some blowjobs in Miami. I guess if I win I'll have to break the news to my snowblower....and wouldn't he be jealous!!

poor FL boy needs to go home

Submitted by SurferRosa on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 3:21pm.

Hi Next,

Let me first say that you are the only man for me in this city full of men and mens. I deserve to win the tickets because I can't buy 'em myself and Next is my sugar daddy. Those bastards at my last job just fired me in January, and I'm suffering! I need to go back home to see my beautiful family and to re-energize. I'll work for Next while down there too. I'll tattoo Next on my forehead and will bug the hell out of every gay down there about Next and how they can't live without it. And the double entendre of that last sentence is totally intended.

If I don't win, Next, that's OK because you've already given me so much. You're my valentine!

Love,
Matt

wait, forget it

Next, I'm a fool. Your prize doesn't include airfare or hotel. I can't afford that stuff now!

true story

Just finishing my thesis end of this month and getting away from cold freezing New York for the Winter Party would open up my heart :)
Ok, also showing the Miami crowd how cute and sexy the boys in New York are.

snOMG!

I don't want to be "that guy" dancing immediately outside the barriers at the Beach Party. I want to get in, climb on top of a huge JBL speaker and dance my ass off! I'm a bit of an exhibitionist so showing off my body and newly acquired Miami tan is always plus, which always leads to...more fun.

getting bored

Submitted by vergax on Mon, 02/15/2010 - 4:27pm.

I started to get bored of being gay. Everything started to be the same, the music, the people, the drinks.. This might be my last chance before starting to consider becoming straight.

I DESERVE!!!

Submitted by KingNico718 on Tue, 02/16/2010 - 3:24pm.

I deserve the tickets because I was recently laid off from my job and TODAY is my partners b'day... I have been completely stressed, since losing work. This trip would bring some ease to my temporary misfortune.

Why?

Submitted by nycSAN on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 12:05pm.

Because I am cuter than an intrauterine.

hanging up the BOWTIE

Submitted by heyenrique on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 7:31pm.

i wear a bowtie everyday and like everyone, a dandy also needs a day off.
MIAMI will do the trick.
