Second Saturday Art Walk Wynwood Art District : Sat., February 11, 6:00pm

Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam Sun Life Stadium : Sat., February 11, 7:00pm
On the list of hillbilly awesomeness, monster-truck rallies fall somewhere between mudding and moonshine. Nothing screams red, white, and blue louder than a giant truck crushing imported, pansy-ass compact cars inside a 75,000-seat arena. This Saturday, head to the Advance Auto Parts Monster... More >>

Forever Tango The Fillmore Miami Beach : Sat., February 11, 8:30pm
The quintessential Argentine dance, the tango, is often associated with glamorous European-style café society, with the dashing attire and protocol of a bygone era and the sensuality of moving to that unique rhythm. But in fact, tango arose out of a cauldron of cultures and sounds that... More >>

Com Truise Bardot : Sat., February 11, 9:00pm
Having a good time on a Saturday night at Bardot is no mission impossible, especially when Com Truise is in the house. The Ghostly International label signee presents warped synth visions of future past that should segue easily from the experimental indie and DJ acts that open for him. More >>

Dave Williamson Miami Museum of Science : Sat., February 11, 10:15pm
Ask Dave Williamson to smash light bulbs over his head and he will respond, “How many Twitter followers will it get me?” The full-time comic says, “It’s no longer about dignity. Anything bad that happens to me is a joke. Like, if my kid’s diaper blows out and gets... More >>

The B-52s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County : Sun., February 12, 8:00pm
The B-52s are living proof that sodium bloat and poor chopstick skills are not the only things that come from Chinese restaurants. The band formed in 1976 at such an establishment in Athens, Georgia, and named itself after the Southern slang term for exaggerated bouffant hairdos. The group... More >>

Kevin and Pete from Candlebox Ricochet Bar & Lounge : Sun., February 12, 9:00pm
Seattle is the staph-infected armpit of America, and grunge is the second-worst-smelling music genre next to crust punk. In Seattle, it’s illegal to burn flannel, and you have to meet an elitist quotient to claim residency. Twenty years ago, the city thought itself too cool for Candlebox,... More >>

Best of Miami Jazz Jam Churchill's Pub : Mon., February 13, 9:00pm
Yeah, yeah, Churchill's is a great place to drink beer, shoot pool, smoke cigs, look surly, and show off your lousy acting talent — but it's also got one hell of a jazz jam. Monday nights are what you want. The music starts around 9:00 p.m. and includes a performance by a band, followed... More >>

Smiths and Morrissey tribute night Churchill's Pub : Tue., February 14, 8:00pm
Valentine’s Day, with its unabashed sappiness, candy, and commercialized cheer, would seem to be exactly everything the typical Smiths and Morrissey fan stands against. Aren’t followers of the famously dour Morrissey supposed to be bookish, wan, forever-alone types who scoff at the... More >>

Florida Panthers vs. Ottawa Senators BankAtlantic Center : Wed., February 15, 7:30pm
The Florida Panthers started this season with an impressive climb into first place in the Southeast Division, where they held the top spot for 65 days.

SBCF 2012 Decomedian Contest Miami Improv : Wed., February 15, 8:30pm

Budweiser One Love Nutrifest Grand Central Park : Sat., February 18, 12:00pm
It might seem curious that Budweiser is the title sponsor of a free-spirited, music-meets-wellness festival in Overtown celebrating “our collective soul and the magnetic energy that unites us as a planet.” But it really isn’t too far-fetched. After all, the “King of All... More >>

Kryptonite Metal Fest 5 Tobacco Road : Sat., February 18, 7:00pm
The last time we fought a dragon, we had been listening to Slayer’s “Hell Awaits” on repeat for three days straight, drinking screw-top vodka under the highway, and lurking in the shadows of downtown in pursuit of evil. When our AA batteries ran out and the music stopped, we... More >>

Miami Heat vs. Orlando Magic American Airlines Arena : Sun., February 19, 3:30pm
When Miami Heat team president Pat Riley pulled off the sports coup of the century two off-seasons ago, his vision expanded beyond Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind SoundScape Park : Tue., February 21, 8:00pm
You know that awkward moment when you think you know someone — say, your tax advisor — when all of a sudden he pulls out a grainy photo of a light in the sky (probably created by the camera’s own flash) and lectures about UFOs and making contact with aliens via your microwave... More >>

Shark! Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale : Daily from Sun., May 13 until Fri., November 4
