Friday

Angelique Kidjo: The Benin beauty is SO much more than just a spectacular voice.

Buckshot: Ignore the catchy dance tracks of “rap.” This is the real deal.

South Florida Boat Show: We can’t afford such luxuries. Le sigh.

Saturday

Wallpeople 2013: Music Edition: Remember that cat you sketched on a bar napkin? Throw it on up there!

Lights Out Closing Party: A party with a barbecue and just $10!

Savage: An Art Exhibit by Animals for the Benefit of Animals: Their work is Picasso compared to yours.
