Go out and have a frosty beer to celebrate. The sun is shinning, the weather is nice and cool and to top it all off it’s a holiday. December 5th is Repeal Day and Miami is the perfect place to celebrate. The city stood proud (knee deep in booze) against…
So the Marlins are at it again. They win a World Series and then end up trading everyone away. Why can’t they just keep people around. The Marlins are trading Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis for six prospects from the Detroit Tigers. Yes, they are trading the last two guys…
Deerhoof December 4, 2007 The NADA Art Fair Better Than: The Mojitos I had last night Ever get the feeling that everything is surreal while watching a band? Sometimes it’s because the band has a live show that it’s incapable of capturing on a recording and other times it’s just…
BY ANDY VIHSTADT Great Danes Denmark’s Raveonettes have proven themselves again with Lust, Lust, Lust. The album is already out overseas but won’t be available in the US until February 19. Here are a couple of tracks to hold you over. The Raveonettes: “Aly Walk With Me” MP3 The Raveonettes:…
Traveling down I-95 South, I looked over to my right just in time to catch a glimpse of this work and watch it fade into the distance through my rearview mirror. I got off on the next exit after 135th Street. Because the tanker on which the graffiti was painted…
To the surprise of many opposed to Hugo Chávez’s slew of proposed reforms that would have consolidated even more power in the Venezuelan president’s hands, the grab was defeated Sunday with 51 percent voting no. Almost immediately, Chávez conceded defeat. “I understand and accept that the proposal I made was…
Photo by Elvis Ramirez “Poetess” made up a poem out of words solicited from the audience. I always figured that open mic poetry nights usually didn’t attract huge crowds. I imagined low lights, smooth music playing in between acts and a people lounging in couches relaxing, some huddled together all…
In hindsight, I guess I should have expected this. Everything was in place for a Dolphins win. And by that I mean the day was ripe for yet another ball-crushing, soul-sucking loss. The crowd was rocking. The Jets fans silenced. Joey Porter had just intercepted a batted ball and ran…
These murals are all that is left of the “Bullfrog Eatz” nightclub on NE 2nd Ave and 23rd Street. Like many Miami night clubs, it existed for less than a year before going out of business, joining the many empty shells in this area of Miami that refuses to be…
As you’ve probably may have guessed from being a regular here, I’m no fun to be around during a Dolphins game. I yell, I kick, I throw shit. I’m even more aggressive when I’m at a game. A buddy of mine was able to score a couple of Club level…
If South Beach sex shops, Pleasure Emporium and Déjà vu Love Boutique were porn legend Ron Jeremy, then the brand new sensually glamorous boutique Sex &… is Jeremy shaved, toned, tanned, but still very well endowed. Meaning that Sex &… won’t just help you to get the job done, you’ll…
At the Miami Heat game Tuesday…. The Golden Oldies, time-out dancers with soft bellies, gray hair and jiggling thighs earned with age, shook to booty music. (Boisterous applause, knee-slapping laughter, giggles) Then, the sexy, hair-tossing twenty-somethings clicked across the court in heels and pranced while some seemed to long for…
Both the Palm Beach Post and the Miami Herald are calling for Cam Cameron to cut John Beck’s cord and let him fucking sling the rock already. I added the fucking for emphasis. Says Greg Stoda: “Let [Beck] heave more than one deep toss to Ted Ginn Jr … Have…
I don’t expect Rudolph “Rudy” Crew will ever respond to my requests to interview him. However, I recently went the extra mile to catch Miami-Dade’s public schools superintendent at his ninth floor office inside the school district headquarters at 1450 NE Second Avenue. This past November 14, I personally delivered…
Jeb Bush Jr. in the spotlight Calvin Godfrey Most of what I remember of George Bush Sr. was that he puked on a Japanese ambassador and comically lied to America about raising taxes. Then he lost his re-election bid. Who knew he would spawn a bizarro Kennedy-like brood –one that…

Whenever media spotlights shine on the early death of a celebrity like Sean Taylor, the tragedy somehow becomes symbolic of something larger. Maybe it’s fear or a desire to put our finger on something that we feel we can control. If we figure out what caused it, maybe we can…
Friday, 12:10 AM It’s White Party Weekend, the day after Thanksgiving. A huge fundraiser for CareResource, a South Florida HIV/AIDS charity, The White Party is one of the biggest social events on the gay calendar. This event literally brings in thousands of people from around the world. Tonight, every gay…
My eyes are bloodshot. My hair is disheveled. My stomach hurts. I’m a zombie. I’m beyond my normal bouts of rage after a Dolphins’ loss. I’m beyond just the normal throwing the toaster at my television. I’m beyond flinging empty Heineken bottles at my dog. This loss makes me want…
News wires are reporting that Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, who attended the University of Miami, was shot in his Palmetto Bay home early this morning. Miami’s ABC-TV 10 is reporting that Taylor was shot in the groin around 1:45 Monday morning. The police are investigating whether the shooting was…
It was a dark and stormy night — it was dark, anyway – and, feeling the strain of a long week weighing heavily upon me, I thought I’d savor a bit of the neighborhood vintage (‘Septima,’ Normandy Supermarket, $3.99, and it’s good) before nodding off. Upon returning home with the…
