Friday has finally decided to grace us with its gorgeous presence, folks. Let's take advantage of our weekly sabbatical from work and engage in Miamian things like debaucheries and joderias. Come on, what else ~~would~~ ~~should~~ could you do in the 305?

Hint: Nothing.

So get wild, mi gente. There is no better way to spend the weekend, after all.

Friday

Mizucon: Hope you brushed your wigs.
Soulé (Contemporary Flamenco): If soul and flamenco music had a baby, this would be it.
Nancy Pedraza Benefit Awareness Show: Jam for a good cause.
Monster Jam: Tonka trucks for big boys.

Saturday

Roller Derby: Miami Vice City Rollers vs. Tampa Bay Derby Darlins: Ladies be cray.
Dennis Ferrer and Guide Schneider (Terrace): I heard you say, "hey, hey!"
Inspecta Deck: Not to be confused with "inspector."

Sunday

Enanitos Verdes: Argentina tangos pretty well, but rocks even harder.
Nari & Milani: Ah, Italia. The men, the food, and thanks to these guys, the music!
Reflection: Take a step back and reflect. (Plus, it's free.)
