It's funny to think that rich, fancy folks pay for sweat lodges when all we have to do is step outside for the next 3-4 months. Are you feeling grateful yet? Yeah, us neither. As you'll notice, all of this week's free recs happen indoors. The days of moonlit concerts and arepa-filled street festivals are now in the past. Stay inside, reapply the deodorant, and crank up that AC.
Monday: Local silk-screen artist Rocky Grimes is exhibiting his designs in Kidrobot, an über chic toy store in South Beach. You may be inspired to purchase a Grime tee or a Kidrobot Munny, but there's no charge just to look.
Tuesday: Wall Street Journal reporter Jonathan Eig discusses his new book Get Capone: The Secret Plot That Captured America's Most Wanted Gangster at Books & Books. You may have seen his critique of baseball memoirs in last Sunday's New York Times Book Review. The reading is free.
Wednesday: What's free on hump day? Every Wednesday, Locos Por Juana side project Xperimento plays a show at Jazid. No cover!
Thursday: Over sixty South Florida artists have their
small-scale paintings, drawings, photos, and sculptures on display at
Artformz in Wywood for the "Small Wonders" show. Admission is free, and the art is actually affordable.
Friday: The World Cup starts on Friday and you can channel all
that Ole, Ole, Ole energy into a smattering of viewing parties at local
bars. We recommend the lively spots of Churchill's Pub, Brazilian
joint Botequim Carioca, and Segafredo on Lincoln Road. First up? South
Africa vs. Mexico.
