Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Like most of Dade County, Crossfade spent Sunday among the million-strong throng at Calle Ocho. We got sunburned, stupid drunk, and totally soaked in the sweat of random strangers. It was awesome.
But today, we’re kinda bummed. As we said in our earlier missive to the Ocho nation: “Perfectly greasy arepas, warm Presidente, and pure party music should be celebrated 100 percent of the freaking time.”
Yet unfortunately, this isn’t a 24/7 Calle Ocho universe. And so, we just gotta try to hold on as long as possible. A couple of hours ago, we reminisced with some video. And now we’ve got a stack of photographs.
