When the curtain rises on On an Average Day, you’ll see a tale of redemption that explores the relationship between two brothers who seem to be more different than their blood bond indicates. Where Jack is successful and seemingly together, Bob is a wreck – slovenly, sociopathic, and on his…
Ancient 1960s folklore says that once you take a puff of some sweet ganja, giggles will follow. Transit Lounge is kinda banking on the fact that you hit some of this in the car before rolling into the 420 Comedy Festival, because – cough – you can’t smoke inside. Once…
Inside every fashionista lurks a recessionista. Let this Thursday be the day you become both bargain hunter and boutique buff when Shop Miami sets up at the Design District’s Moore Building (4040 NE Second Ave., Miami).

Once thought to be as incompatible as Archie and Reggie, analog and digital actually think the other is kind of cute. And hey, Reggie, there’s no one in the locker room but us… In celebration of the oh-so-holy union of switches and circuits, the Miami Beach Regional Public Library is…
If you’re curious about education in America, go watch Year of the Bull at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. In 2003, filmmaker Todd Lubin followed defensive end Taurean Charles and the rest of the Miami Northwestern Senior High football team all the way to the 6A state championship game…

Originally a virtuosic guitarist with jazz/blues inclinations and a big fan of Brian Eno, he combines technical…
We’re the coolest around. We throw the hottest parties, and serve the hottest drinks to the coolest of the cool. And we’re humble. So when we throw a shindig, it’d serve you well to show up and show off. Thursday at Love Hate we, the New Times are taking over…
Leave it to Virginia Miller to find the silver lining in an economic storm. Despite the tribulations of the art world in an increasingly stagnant sales environment, the Coral Gables dealer is putting on an eclectic summer group show.

God it’s hot outside. How hot? So hot the frigid, frostbite-inducing blasts of restaurant air conditioning actually feel good. Now is the perfect time for ice cream — oh no, wait. Sorry. The perfect time for ice cream actually begins next Wednesday, June 24th, which coincidentally coincides with the return…
Miami’s retro electro-dance duo BFGF will bring the party to Fort Lauderdale’s Brick Rock Bar Wednesday, performing their blend of minimalistic electronic instrumentation and Casiotone-loving Fischerspooner clash. While songs like the cheeky “Electric Supermodel” and “Super-dude-fuckin-A-licious” are more accessible for those craving dance-floor pop tunes, the group’s more experimental, spookier…

Fifteen minutes after seeing The Proposal, I’d forgotten I’d seen The Proposal. Well, that’s not entirely true: By then, it had simply merged in my memory with a thousand other films just like it — those in which phony lovers bound together by dubious circumstances become honest-to-kissin’ couples in just…
Eddie Murphy is a Denver investment consultant, Evan, with a workaholic schedule that leaves little space for 7-year-old daughter Olivia (Yara Shahidi).

Magic City Kitty: Is Her Vibrator the Terminator?
Beautiful Savages at Fuerza Bruta
Neon burns in the night sky, declaring, “Bar. Liquor. Open.” Though the sign has dimmed in the past — most recently when Circa 28 was unceremoniously closed — what lies inside has never changed. Electric Pickle is neither watering hole nor dance club but instead more of sign of things…
It’s funny. Lately we’ve been enjoying street art more than what’s inside the galleries. There’s a team of impromptu break dancers. A band of merry typewriter poets. Unwavering bongo drummers. This past Saturday was extra-impressive. There was a kick-ass female violinist, a fire dancer, and a spoken-word artist. The three…
Is there seriously no blog who does a preview of Wynwood Second Saturdays anymore? Are we totally missing something? We searched around in the Miami Herald blog aggregator (so useful) and found nothing. We’ll we’re a “blog,” we could do that. I guess.Deciding to do this at 3:00 pm on…

Kathleen Hudspeth was born in Miami and has been working her butt off in the art world for longer than 99% of the local galleries have existed. Whether exhibiting at Bass and Fred Snitzer, lecturing at MoCA, writing art criticism for the Sun Post, or serving as a volunteer docent…
During the past few decades, Leonard Krakovitch King has tinkered with the way we see ourselves. In 1972, the innovative Coconut Grove artist invented a contraption he calls the “Variable Form Image Reflector,” which uses concave mirrors to create fractal abstract forms that appear to move in the direction of…
One thing Wynwood is short on is trees, which somewhat spoils the prospect of strolling around and peeking your head into art galleries during the month of June. But the folks at Artformz Alternative have decided if you can’t beat the sun, you might as well join him, which is…
