We don't need a giant turkey to remind us of how lucky we are to be living in the Magic City. All we need is some good music.

Tease your hair, pile on that pink lipstick, and rock those pink ruffles... It's prom night. And for this all '80s affair, Steam Miami, AKA the old Vagabond space, will host yet another night of "spin booty jams, freestyle, hip-hop, new wave, dance hits, and guilty pleasures" with the State Of and other totally tubular '80s freaks.
