See ARTFUZE Unites Artists for Charity.With Wynwood’s Art Walks, Coconut Grove Arts Festival, and the granddaddy of all art fairs, Art Basel, most Miamians thank their lucky stars that they live in an art-forward city–a city filled with cultivated (artsy fartsy, if you will) folks who love art and really…
Harry Lynch’s new docudrama, Switch, will teach us a thing or two about energy conservation, and not the kind we wish we had left over for CrossFit at the end of a long workday. This filmmaker is more interested in preserving the energy that actually makes our modern world go…
Girls on roller skates. Doesn’t that sound sweet? Add elbow pads, kneepads, helmets, fishnet stockings, and a couple of bruises for good measure, and you’ve got the baddest new sport in Miami: roller derby. Miami’s Vice City Rollers (MVCR) are a force to be reckoned with. In its inaugural season,…
This weekend at Wynwood’s monthly Art Walk, you’ll be able to drink, be merry, and be surrounded by great art. The difference this month? You can do it all without worrying about getting hit by a car on NW Second Ave. — and you’ll be doing it for a good…
With all the incessant talk of America’s favorite d-bag Ryan Lochte starring in the next season of The Bachelor, we can’t help but reminisce about the days when reality TV didn’t exist and TV shows used to actually have meaning. Think back to the ’90s when TV was mostly consisted…
Miami’s Vice City Rollers are a force to be reckoned with. In their inaugural season, the 305’s one and only all-female Flat Track Roller Derby team, have been skating hard and giving it all they’ve got. While it’s been a less than stellar first season for the girls (they haven’t…
Don’t be fooled by the location. MiaSci’s state-of-the-art theatre is probably where some of the loudest laughs are heard in Miami. Comedy Night at The Museum is presented by the comics behind the Have-Nots–a power house comedy group with a mission to produce comedy with a purpose. Line-ups run the…
Local comics converge on Lester’s once every month to test their new material in an intimate environment. But that doesn’t mean they’re all holding hands and singing Kumbaya. There’s plenty of edge to homegrown talent like regulars Dominic Perenzin, Forrest Shaw, and host Irene Morales. Wed., Aug. 8, 8 p.m.,…

We can’t help but like the sound of Camp Ricochet. It reminds us of summers spent by the campfire making s’mores, only here you don’t have to hide your vodka in a water bottle. Trivia nights are themed (think wig night or masquerade night) and questions are appropriate to the…

We arguably live in one of the best cities in America, and that should be enough to be grateful for this Independence Day. But while we’re all gorging on hot dogs, potato salad, and pastelitos, let’s not forget all the other things for which we should be thanking the stars…

Anyone can skate down the street and think they’re a skater, but it takes a real experienced thrasher to jump off a 20-foot half-pipe and nail a 360-degree flip. And only at an actual skate park can you successfully train to skate like a pro. For years the Miami skate community…
It is hard to believe that Marilyn Monroe would be 86 years old today if not for her mysterious death in 1962. After all these years, the world’s fascination with the life of the blonde starlet lives on.Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Marilyn’s death, film director, author, and photojournalist…
There’s nothing like Art Basel to remind you of your sad station in life. If you’ve browsed the tents alongside show-off yuppies or Brazilian ex-pats making purchases, you know what we’re talking about. And we feel you.So we were pretty psyched this weekend, when we mere fiscal mortals got a…
Like wine and cheese, pancakes and syrup, or Ryan Gosling and V-neck shirts, some of the finer things in life are best paired with, well, some of the finer things in life. Unfortunately, most of life’s finer things come with a hefty price tag, so putting two of them together…
Get ready to see yourself on the indie screen, Miami. After the Wedding, an independent film written and directed by Claudia Cifuentes — one of three sisters behind Pink Forest Films — will start production in the 305 this summer.There’s only one thing. They can’t do it without our help.After…
Cinco de Mayo is an American holiday. Not true, you say? Consider this: While we gringos spend May 5 chugging margaritas and ironically donning sombreros, most Mexicans commemorate Cinco de Mayo by doing, well, not a whole lot.In fact, most Americans will go through Cinco de Mayo believing that they’re…
