Ten Must-Attend Free III Points 2015 Events

Nothing says autumn in Miami like FOMO (fear of missing out, for you n00bs). Unlike the sweltering days of summer, the temperate fall means everyone who's anyone is on their way to the 305, and amazing events follow by the boatload. And we all endure serious stress when faced with picking and choosing. 

This weekend, with III Points in town, your calendar will be crazier than ever. While you'll likely be braving the crowds to hear your favorite artists, it's not just music that makes III Points so outstanding. Innovative art activations will be everywhere this weekend, so you can learn the in's and out's of raised bed gardens, get into old-school gaming, and practice some sun salutations. Best of all, the fun is free.

Here are our top ten picks from the III Points lineup:

MK's Gift Shop
Friday, October 9, through Sunday, October 11, all day, roving through Wynwood.

Make your way to this roving gift shop in an RV as it pops up around Wynwood all weekend. Browse curated goodies and objects d'art made by local Miami creatives and designers. Most of the swag will be on sale exclusively this weekend, so you'll have access to some super-special stuff. Holiday shopping, anyone?

Stop Resisting at Swampspace
Friday, October 9, through Sunday, October 11, 8 p.m., Swampspace, 3841 NE Second Ave. Free with RSVP at iiipoints.com.

Check out local artists Raymond Brown and Casey Zap as they turn Wynwood's Swampspace into just that: a light-and-sound spectacle that asks visitors to consider the current climate. It's an apt experience, since we might be knee-deep in swamp water before too long. 

Moog X Gramps Sound Lab
Friday, October 9, through Sunday, October 11, 2 to 10 p.m., Gramps, 176 NW 24th St. 

Hit up Wynwood's favorite haunt, grab a brew, and join the "ongoing interactive experimentation with analog synthesis." Attendees will have a chance to collaborate; cue flashback to your early 2000s DJing days.

Brogaming
Friday, October 9, through Sunday, October 11, 12 to 9 p.m., Wynwood Warehouse Project, 450 NW 27th St.

While gaming has gotten progressively more sophisticated in the new millennium, there's still room for the old-school entertainment, and this day-long lounge will be dedicated to the evolution of the popular pastime. Join Nikhil, hose of the Warp Zone on WVUM 90.5 and play some old and new

Wake, Bake, Revive
Saturday, October 10, noon to 2 p.m., Wynwood Walls, 2516 NW Second Ave. Free with RSVP at iiipoints.com.

And best of all, a giant bounce house being pumped full of Kryogenifex.
