Not just for brides...

We have recently started a joint marketing promotion with our friends at Azukar Lounge and Sacramento Body Wraps. While the promotion is geared toward brides, we would also like to extend it to readers of our blog.

Therefore, if you would to receive a coupon for a free VIP admission to Azukar (before 11PM that is) and/or a free Lumiere Light Therapie Facial, just send me an email at bill@luxxlimo.com. In addition, the coupon entitles you to 10% off your next limousine ride with us!

Holiday Light Tours

It is that time of year again, and we are Luxx Limo are prepared! Every year we take all of our chauffeurs on a training tour of all of the best sites in and around Sacramento. Pictured here is a house that you may not see on any other tour but ours!

Whether you have two passengers or 22, our vehicles are perfect for this simple family activity. Call today and ask for Pa, Shad or Ozzie for special holiday rates.

Reminder - texting while driving will soon be verboten in California

Effective January 1st, it will no longer be legal to text will driving. While this has been common sense for most of us, it took the California Legislature quite a while to figure this one out.

The new law applies to all drivers even when stopped. The only exception for a driver is if there is a true emergency. However, passengers may continue to text away.

A recent study by the Transport Research Laboratory found that the reaction time of people driving while text messaging was 35 percent slower than normal. Interestingly, people under the influence of alcohol were found to be only 12 percent slower. Since it takes only a second for something to go wrong, if obeyed, this new law will undoubtedly save lives.

Sealing the deal

As I announced on Tuesday, Luxx Limo is now the official limo company of the Sacramento River Cats. Here we are celebrating the deal at the bar in the new Morton's. To show what great people the Cats staff are, they even allowed me to bring my corporate attorney!

The results are in! I am a woman!!

No, I didn't have a sex change operation, but according to the Gender Analyzer computers, there is a 60% probability that this blog is written by a woman. The same computers believe that there is a 55% probability that my other blog, which focuses on taxes is written by a man. However, they rate both blogs as being "quite gender neutral".

Using artificial intelligence, the creators of the Gender Analyzer site have gathered data from over 4,000 blogs to teach their computers how to distinguish text written by a man versus a woman.

While they are only batting 50% on my two blogs, I guess this use of AI is much better than letting the computers run wild and create Sky Net!

Luxx Limo Chosen as Official Limousine Company of the Sacramento River Cats

I am pleased to announce that Luxury Limousines has been chosen as the official limousine company of the Triple-A and Pacific Coast League Champion, Sacramento River Cats.

As the official limo company, we will be providing transportation services to the River Cats as well as co-sponsoring several events at Raley Field including the Green Awareness Weekend, Suite Holders Tasting Event as well as three Office Getaway Days during the upcoming season.

Check back here for more information as the season approaches!

Congratulations David Dwyer!

David is the lucky winner of our KHTK Sharks promotion. David and three of his peeps will be heading to the Sharktank (aka the HP Pavilion) take on the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night.

The Sharks lead the league with a 20-3 record for a total of 41 points. The Leafs have struggled to an 8-9 record worth 22 points.

One very important piece of advice for David and his friends. As my companion found out last Wednesday night, the ushers at the Tank enforce a very unique rule that I have never seen before - you are not allowed to lean forward in your seat to watch the game. Supposedly, this blocks the view of the fans sitting behind you. Now I wasn't the greatest geometry student (as Mr. Carridi who doubled as the Vice-Principal would attest), but for the life of me, I can't figure out how leaning forward blocks the vision of the people behind you.

In any event David, enjoy the game and try not to get to many "tickets" for violating this and the other rules (my companion got two!).
