Keep Miami New Times Free
We’re aiming to raise $7,500 by April 26. Your support ensures New Times can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
We like making sure you’re well-rounded. So again, we present five things to this week that are not only free, but 100%, grade-A fun. Start off the week with a free film screening at a posh hotel pool and end the week with a book signing by Chelsea Handler. If all else fails, we hear tickle parties and snorkeling are two hot new cheap thrills.
Monday: The 1946 film The Postman Always Rings Twice will screen poolside at the W Hotel. Lana Turner plays an unsatisfied wife whose life gets messy when a hottie drifter comes into town. There’s no charge to see this noir classic.
Tuesday: Miami never got the memo that bars are greatly improved by the presence of a good jukebox. So it’s refreshing to hear of the just opened Kill Your Idol on Española Way. In addition to board games, cheap beer, and talking deer trophies, KYI has a juke with punk, British rock, and post-punk tunes. Huzzah!
Wednesday: L.A. artist Drew Heitzler has created a public lashing of mogul Howard Hughes, using Scarface footage. See The World is Yours at Locust Projects.
Thursday: Kids today can pick some great art. Exhibit A: The inspired Aesthetics & Values 2010 show at Frost is curated by FIU students. And the Frost is always free.
Friday: OK, so you’ll have to pay close to $80 to laugh at her live show at the Fillmore but Chelsea Handler will be doing a book signing at Books & Books earlier in the day. The ticket is free when you buy her new volume.
