Take a break, America! But not you, Miami!
It's almost Labor Day, that annual 24-hour period during which we all celebrate workers by not working.
Of course, though, the observance of this particular federal holiday is a bit different in the MIA. One day become a week. No one is actually allowed to rest. (Especially bartenders, VIP pole dancers, bouncers, superstar DJs, famous rappers, etc.) And absolutely everyone is required to put in a 12-hour shift at the club.
Now, work it, work it, work it. And check the cut for Crossfade's party guide to Labor Day weekend 2013 in Miami.
