So put it in you calendars…set your alarms…and meet us out at Uncle Sams Music on Tuesday May 3rd at 4PM!! See you here!!

As we know, that time of year is upon us again, the shopping grind, trudging from store to store, one big box retailer to the next. You look on the shelves and you find the same stuff, the same shirts, the same hats and the same music you find at every other store – nothing unique.

But there is an alternative.

Come on down to Uncle Sam’s on South Beach and get your hands on gifts, music and other accessories that will make your friends ask “Where ever did you find this?” T-Shirts like you’ve never seen, music you won’t hear in the aisles of big box retailers and crazy things like lunchboxes, wrestling masks that look like Bruce Lee, lighters, hats and everything else that separates you from the crowd.

And remember, if by some chance one of your clueless friends gives you a gift card from one of these evil, people-squashing big retail stores (like the red one with the target on it), you can bring said gift card to Uncle Sam’s on South Beach and redeem it for FULL FACE VALUE. No more being trapped by the uncool.

So there it is, your holiday shopping alternative for Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa and Festivus: Uncle Sam’s!
