Mood Indigo

It’s a spectacular barrage of percussion and music! It’s a display of magic and illusion! It’s one of the running gags from Arrested Development! That’s right, Blue Man Group is coming to Miami. The Group’s current How to Be a Megastar 2.0 tour finds everyone’s favorite monochromatic performance art group…

Boobs, Butts, and Balls

What happens when Super Bowl week, a great celebration of American excess, hits South Beach, a community not exactly known for restraint? Does “350 top fashion models playing beach volleyball in front of a crowd of more than 10,000” sound about right? Well that’s the idea behind Ocean Drive’s fourteenth-annual…

Bands in Bloom

Great things often come in pairs: Hall and Oates, North Korea and South Korea, peanut butter and herring. Okay, those are all terrible examples. So here’s a better one: Tonight at 8:00 p.m., the Dears and the Annuals – two of indie rock’s most exciting bands – come to Studio…

Ka-Chow!

What if you took all of your delinquent teenage nephew’s favorite pastimes – playing Gran Turismo on his Xbox, reading Maxim, ogling pictures of hot models, watching World Poker Tour, and downloading hip-hop – and blended them together, miraculously brought them to life, and sent them on tour across America?…

Run, Turkey, Run! Escape While You Can

Unlike New Year’s (which is fundamentally about drinking) or Christmas (which is about either marketing or Jesus, depending on who you ask), Thanksgiving is definitely a holiday for eating. So what better way to spend this morning than working up a healthy appetite – and burning off a few hundred…
