Ugh, Black Friday. It’s a nauseating, cross-country display of hyperconsumerism at its apex, retail’s official kickoff to “the holiday season” and all it entails: generic Christmas songs, drastically reduced sale prices, parking-lot fender-benders, and never-ending checkout lines.
Whether you camped out all night waiting for Best Buy to open or woke up incredibly early to save big at JC Penny’s, we hope it was worth the credit card debt.
But it’s a shame you maxed our your Amex, there are plenty of cool events going down this weekend you’ll miss out on because you were too busy buying flat screen televisions.
Check out list of the best things to do this week after the cut.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Miami. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Miami.
Friday
