Forecasts for Florida's Economy Are Bleak, Folks
There needs to be some kind of drinking game tied to breaking news alerts that tell us how grim our financial futures are. It began this morning on the Herald’s website with the news that employment in Florida is at a 15-year high and that it could get worse by next summer. In related news, as our own Natalie O’Neill told us earlier this week, squatters are taking up residence in abandoned foreclosed homes. Then we get word state economists are sitting around this morning talking about
November 21, 2008Last Night: David LaChapelle at Wolfgang Roth Gallery
They're out there: hoity-toity connoisseurs just waiting to tell you that fashion photographers aren't real artists. They'll say, "Bla, bla, bla isn't fine art. Bla, bla, bla isn't thought-provoking... Bla." Then they'll take a sip of free champgne from a plastic cup and check their Blackberries when it's your turn to talk. Well, after seeing David LaChapelle's Jesus is My Homeboy at the Wolfgang Roth gallery on NE 39th, we don't believe them anymore. The exhibit is proof that all those thin, p
December 3, 2008Doughnuts and Beer at Scope International Contemporary Art
Walking into the Scope tent yesterday was like getting smacked in the face with an art stick. You know, in a good way. Inside, it was a visual sensory overload, with way too much for any normal, methamphetamine-free viewer to see in one trip. Riptide felt like a contestant on Supermarket Sweep, rushing to cram in the best stuff before time ran out.It didn't matter, though. We were sold before we even saw a single piece of work. How could we be so easy? Umm, because at one point during "the
December 4, 2008Kicking cars and punching cops: Highlights from Gaza Protest Arrests
An 18 year-old from Coral Springs was busted for wielding brass knuckles and a pocket knife, a petite middle-aged woman shouted "baby killers!," and a mob of protesters chucked rocks at a cop car. The Israeli-Palestinian protest Sunday on Biscayne Boulevard was a loud, colorful microcosm of hate - with Muslims waving red and green Palestinian flags on one side of the boulevard, and Jews holding hand-penned signs on the other. As the Herald reported yesterday, a dozen people were arrested, mostly
January 7, 2009Q&A With South Florida Real World: Brooklyn Cast
Last night, Real World: Brooklyn made queer TV history, thanks to the first ever transgender cast member, a South Florida male-to-female named Katelyn Cusanelli. The introspective, self-proclaimed computer geek, who went to McPhatter Technical School in Davie and Palm Beach Community College talked to Riptide yesterday about hormone therapy, "escaping" from South Florida, and what it's like to have a camera shoved in your face 24 hours a day.A second GLBT cast member, JD Ordonez -- a gay Miami

January 9, 2009Julia Tuttle Sex Offender Charged in New Sexual Battery Case
Experts have said it all along: Sex offenders in transient environments are far more likely to repeat-offend. To say that's the only reason for an alleged sexual battery that occurred Monday is a stretch -- but it certainly didn't help. Miami police charged Julia Tuttle Causeway resident and registered sex offender Jeremy Jerome Carter with sexual battery on a seven year-old girl 8:30 a.m. March 2 at an undisclosed location. Carter -- a chubby 44-year old who told bridge dwellers
March 5, 2009Chuck Rules, Bill Bites
Today Bill Cooke at Random Pixels took a shot at New Times and editorial jefe Chuck Strouse. He wrote: I used to love Miami New Times. When I lived in Coconut Grove I knew where the paper was delivered on Wednesday and usually snagged a copy by early afternoon. Since editor Jim Mullin's departure a few years ago, the paper has taken a turn for the worse. Just about all the good writers have left and the paper itself is an anemic, slimmed-down version of what it was years ago...In short, Chuck h

May 21, 2009Wynwood Art Walk: The Best Stuff's on the Street
It's funny. Lately we've been enjoying street art more than what's inside the galleries. There's a team of impromptu break dancers. A band of merry typewriter poets. Unwavering bongo drummers. This past Saturday was extra-impressive. There was a kick-ass female violinist, a fire dancer, and a spoken-word artist. The three of them set up on a dark corner, and immediately a crowd of about 50 materialized. They play on random street corners all over the county. It's usually the same thing: They dr

September 24, 2009The Trouble with MSG: Is Miami's Best-Known Graffiti Crew Crumbling?
Natalie O'Neill Atomik​Atomik, a hot-tempered graffiti bomber, shakes a can of yellow spray paint and nods toward a pair of toothless Haitian men. "These guys won't mind if I tag their dumpster," he says and then scribbles his moniker onto the rust-blasted box. In an alley near NW 71st Street, the onlookers fold their arms and watch. The stocky Kendall-bred graphic designer -- whom Riptide agreed not to name because, well, we like outlaws -- has been arrested five times for tagging roof
