We’re not sure what’s in the water this week, but something is making sure the visual arts take over in Miami. From cedar sculptures to paintings of soda pop cans, artistic renderings of the physical and the psychological can be found just about everywhere these next few days.To those of…
We’re too spent from Saturday night to even attempt clever Cinco de Mayo puns, and you’re probably feeling the same way. Hangovers are still pounding after all the partying, as even people who don’t know or care what the May 5 commemorates were grabbing for Dos Equis. The Most Interesting…
Ah, the lazy days of summer. So close, yet so far away. This coming month sees Mother’s Day, the end of school for many younglings, and the eternal temptation of the beach. To be stuck inside on days like these is agony; to be stuck inside working is even worse.No…
Someone once said nothing good comes for free. That person is an idiot. As evidenced by the shows and exhibits around town this week, you don’t need any money to go out and party. All you need is someone to pal around with who will drive your drunk ass home…
Something about this coming week just makes us feel relaxed. Maybe it’s because April 15 has come and gone, and there’s nothing left to do about our taxes until next year (or until we get audited, whichever comes first). Maybe it’s because all the stress in our lives has compounded…
Spring is in the air! Unfortunately, in Miami that means intense heat, the reemergence of mosquitos, and humidity that turns every day into a bad hair day.Fret not, though; you can always stay within the safe walls of your air conditioned homes until evening, at which point you can run…
As rough as the work week can be, stress-filled weekends can be worse. Even if you’re somehow not as exhausted from all the wrestling mayhem as we are, it’s likely you’re beat from April Fool’s Day nonsense, your weekend workload, or that nagging voice in the back of your head…
We’re going to go out on a limb and say that the WWE is not the most female-friendly sports organization. Crowds at televised events clearly consist of more men than women; half of the female wrestlers, officially called “divas,” are girlfriends/love interests of male wrestlers; and for the most part,…
The time has come to bid farewell to March. Before we enter into the month of April and its accompanying showers, Cadbury eggs and WrestleMania (yes, WrestleMania), we have one last hurrah this week with artistic nudes, Rocky Balboa, and Haitian Hillbilly.As is our custom, all of the following events…
Miami Music Week and Winter Music Conference combine to make this week pretty freaking great. Sadly, not all of us are able (or willing) to shill out hundreds of dollars for access to associated shows…and we haven’t even mentioned the ever-popular musical and monetary clusterfuck that is Ultra Music Fest.Whether…
Next to Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick’s Day is probably the holiday most exploited by Americans in the name of getting completely tanked. We’re willing to bet the majority of people celebrating these two days don’t know a) what Cinco de Mayo actually commemorates or b) where St. Patrick is…
Photography is a discipline that can produce stunning products when executed by experts and atrocious results when in the hands of deluded souls who somehow deem it acceptable to publicize pictures taken in their bathroom mirrors. Log onto any social networking site and we promise you will find an abundance…
The famously handsome Robert Redford stars in a Soundscape Park presentationMarch doesn’t get enough credit. After the excitement of the New Year and the exhilaration (or bitter disappointment) of Valentine’s Day, people tend to forget about the good March has to offer. Not only can we exploit the Irish people…
We believe that a leap year is more than just an irritating occurrence designed to confuse you and make you screw up writing the date every four years. Aside from the minor annoyances it brings, leap year can also be an opportunity to take your own leap — to ask…
This week, Miami promises a number of music, movie, and art events that will keep you entertained and allow you to spend the night out without spending any money. From Miami Beach to Wynwood, South Florida gives you more than enough reasons to take some time off and unwind…
February has been a pretty rough month thus far. In the past 12 days alone, The Real Housewives of Miami has been confirmed for a second season; we found out everyone is cheating on everyone; and Rick Santorum won three caucuses, which is just…we can’t.In the spirit of improving the…
If you’re anything like us, you ‘re preparing to confront Feb. 14 with indignation and marking it “Anna Howard Shaw Day” on your calendar. Maybe you lack any significant romantic relationship in your life, in which case you don’t need a national holiday to remind you that you’ll probably die…
If you’re in a relationship, you’ve probably already spent all your money on Valentine’s Day gifts for your significant other.If you’re currently unattached, you’ve probably spent all your cash on episodes of Downton Abbey and tubs of Ben & Jerry’s to keep you company.Either way, you’re broke. So it’s a…
This week’s free events include movie showings, concerts and exhibitions — in other words, the perfect combination to get you through the next few days without busting your budget. Take a break from your job(s) and from the throbbing migraine that is the Florida Republican debates, grab your honey or…
Good news: January is almost over, which means summer — and impromptu trips to the beach while playing hooky from your crappy job — is that much closer. Bad news: it’s only Monday, which means you have five full days of being stuck at your aforementioned crappy job until the…
If we may say so ourselves, this week offers a pretty sweet variety of artistic and musical events to explore in Miami. From a collection of intimate photos of Celia Cruz, to an interplay of works in every medium by an array of women, to a gathering of ukulele players,…
If you’re anything like us, you’re still groggy and discombobulated after a weekend in which you definitely should not have had so many Jack and Cokes. But before you can move on to next weekend (and to a whole new set of irresponsible decisions), you’ll have to grit your teeth…
