Jordan’s Folly

The Miami Heat needs a little motivation right now. They’ve been a giant pile of ass when they’ve played on the road lately. Their point guards have been abysmal, and the Big Three are getting no help from the bench. With only nine games to go before the playoffs kick…

You’re My Boy, Blue

If you were in a fraternity or a sorority during college, you probably remember the head-splitting hangovers you endured, the keg stands you attempted, and the messy (and nasty) frat houses you stepped in. And if you really think back to the good old days, you might find a few…

You Had Me at Merlot

Is it just us, or is it almost impossible not to spend most weekends in the Grove? Even if we start our night in South Beach, the lights, the people, and the tiki-tiki music are just too much, so we end up U-turning to the Grove for a beer. It’s…

Art for the Angry

It’s no coincidence that with a presidential election looming on the not-too-distant horizon, issues of manipulation, protest, and power are occupying artists’ minds. After all, the republic is on shaky grounds. Fixing the economy remains a tall order, and political hopefuls are crisscrossing the nation offering empty rhetoric while the…

Feel the Pride

Pride means different things to different people. To some, it’s their child’s first steps. To others, it’s a set of jiggly new breast implants. To a dwindling few, it’s Dolphins pride for life. (Yes, they still exist.) But this Saturday on Ocean Drive, pride will mean only one thing: a…

Sustainable Art

It feels good when you can enjoy a good piece of artwork and know the planet didn’t have to take a cut in order to make it great. Have a go at this free festival and rub elbows with locals green vendors, artists, and educators. Ride a bike, or walk…

Take Me Out

Well rested after a three-game home stint against the Houston Astros, the Miami Marlins are at it again with a midweek series against interdivision rivals the Chicago Cubs. Considered one of professional sports’ most storied franchises, the Cubs were just five outs away from their first World Series appearance since…

Guilt-Free Gluttony

You know that feeling, the one you get after you eat way too much. It’s gross, gluttonous, and guilty, all rolled into one foul package. And there’s only one way to avoid it. Eat healthful portions? Please — we meant one achievable way. And that’s to do your overeating at…

Drink Like the Pros

Rum: It’s not just for pirates and old Cuban dudes anymore. Not this week, anyway. The Miami Rum Renaissance Festival kicks off Monday, and it’s your best excuse to drink during the workweek since, well, last year’s Rum Renaissance. The boozefest, which runs through April 22, begins low-key with panels…

Male Exhibition

Ah, men. You can’t live with them, and you can’t live without — wait, never mind. We’re kidding, of course. The folks behind the World Erotic Art Museum’s newest exhibit, “Tom of Finland: Male Masterworks,” would slaughter us if they heard we made such a statement. “Male Masterworks” will be…

Help! I’m a Nerdy Guy Who Loves Bad Girls
