The Marketing Team at Desigual sure knows how to create a buzz. Their newest promotion involves giving away a free outfit to the first 100 people who show up to their store on March 2. Judging by the Debauchery at Bay To Breakers every year, I think we are going to have a lot of people from San Francisco that show up just to take advantage of rolling around in their underwear…

Apparently the promotion has already been extremely successful in New York, Barcelona and some other cities (and there is video to prove it)

From ESPN.com:

SAN FRANCISCO — Freddie Solomon, the former Miami Dolphins and Forty Niners wide receiver who became known as “Fabulous Freddie” and committed himself to community service for decades, died Monday. He was 59.

The 49ers announced the passing of Solomon, who lived in Florida and had battled cancer over the past year. He played on the first of the franchise’s four Super Bowl championship teams in the 1980s during an 11-year NFL career.

“The 49ers lost a member of our family today. We’ll miss you, Freddie Solomon,” 49ers CEO Jed York posted on his Twitter account.

The Dolphins selected Solomon in the second round of the 1975 draft out of the University of Tampa. He spent his first three NFL seasons with Miami and his final eight in San Francisco, finishing with 371 receptions for 5,846 yards and 48 touchdowns in 371 games.

“Besides his accomplishments as a player, Freddie truly cared about his community, whether it was here in South Florida or in the Tampa Bay area where he had his roots,” Dolphins vice president Nat Moore said in a statement. “He was a kind and generous person, as exemplified by all of his charitable and civic deeds. It’s a shame he passed away so young, and the Miami Dolphin organization extends its condolences to his family.”

During his stint in San Francisco, Solomon also ran for 329 yards and three TDs as an important member of late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh’s West Coast offense.

“Freddie was very influential to me and my career, and taught me about work ethic and professionalism. He inspired me to go out there every day and emulate him,” Hall of Fame wideout Jerry Rice said.

After his football career ended, Solomon worked for two decades in community relations with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, where he mentored youth and taught vital life lessons through football fundamentals.

“Freddie Solomon was a dear friend and a great teammate,” Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana said. “There was no one who gave more on and off the field than Freddie. The kindness he demonstrated was inspirational to all that knew him, and a joy to be around. The warmth of his smile will be forever imbedded in my mind and heart.”

Solomon was born on Jan. 11, 1953, in Sumter, S.C. He is survived by wife, Dee; mother, Bessie Ruth Solomon; brothers Richard, Oneal and Roger; and mother-in-law Mae Jeffers.

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Freddie Solomon, a beloved family member, friend, community leader and coach,” the family said in a release. “We would like to thank all those who have supported him throughout his life. We appreciate all the love and prayers during this difficult time.”

Solomon’s 43 TD catches with the Niners are tied for sixth most in team history.

“I’ve met thousands of players who came through my locker room with the 49ers, but I’ve never seen anyone with a heart like Freddie,” former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. told the Tampa Tribune on Monday. “We wouldn’t have reached the top without Freddie.”

Funeral services were scheduled for Friday at Saint Lawrence Church in Tampa, Fla.

To make sure the prank didn’t get lost on the thousands of people along the Red Carpet, Deadmau5 also took a picture and posted it to Twitter. Deadmau5′s 800,000 Fans got the number and it looks like his voice mail is full…

Skrillex probably doesn’t really care that much after winning 3 Grammys..
