Over the Weekend - The Cure, Wynwood and Bonnaroo

The Cure at BankAtlantic Center

Ivon David Rojas

Legendary New wave/goth rockers The Cure stopped by the BankAtlantic Center. I'd like to think that Robert Smith reminded everyone Pete Wentz wasn't the guy who invented "guyliner."

June's Wynwood Art Walk

Jose D. Duran

If you strolled through the streets of Wynwood on Saturday you would have never realized that Art Basel is still six months away. The amount of people who attended was astonishing.

Bonnaroo 2008

Mark C. Austin

Well, this wasn't a South Florida event, but we still have plenty of pictures of the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn., for your view pleasure including some of the amazing performances and the ladies who attended.
