Most folks didn’t get their fill of the ’80s in the ’80s. And who pays for this? Your kids — every time you insist on wearing your Members Only jacket. Well, you can make it up to the children Friday at the Broward Education Foundation’s 15th Annual Scholarship “Step Into…
Only one in every million boys is blessed with a 9.75-inch penis like gnomish übermensch Ron Jeremy. For the rest of us short, fat, greasy-haired hedgehogs, the closest we’ll ever get to starring in a sex flick is this weekend’s Exxxotica Expo at the Miami Beach Convention Center. If you’re…
Yes, the musical backdrop to watching a self-absorbed priest try to save all of London’s wandering pilgrims in the ’80s new wave musical The Gift at the Mos’Art Theatre is none other than Depeche Mode and the Cure. Depeche Mode songs “Personal Jesus,” “Peace,” “Enjoy the Silence,” and “Wrong” and…
This is the first time this season the Marlins greet the Mets — and if you need any additional encouragement to head over to Sun Life Stadium besides the chance to berate and belittle the scores of New York transplants and phonies, the Fish have got you covered. Both weekend…
Kicking off a national tour in support of their upcoming album, The Sound of Sunshine, Michael Franti & Spearhead will bring their blend of hip-hop, reggae, funk, and rock to the Fillmore Miami Beach (1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach.)

Mondays, well, they’re called “manic” for a reason. That’s why Jazid Lounge every week provides a tonic called Open Mind Monday to the pleasure-starved masses. Like us, you probably get paid Friday, and you can’t be blowing that minimum wage right away. Good thing Jazid has drink and food specials…
Snake oil salesmen used to peddle their magic cure-alls in town squares, but now they hawk their tonics through print ads. (Flip to this publication’s back page and count how many times you see the word pain.) The Wolfsonian Museum examines the evolution of such messages in its recently opened…
When I first heard that the Boca Raton Museum of Art was bringing in an exhibition of photographs of Elvis Presley, my heart sank a little. Like the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls, hadn’t Elvis been looked at and photographed until there was nothing left to see? But as “Elvis…
As Iron Man 2 begins, Tony Stark — mechanical genius, Forbes 400 perennial, the pop-star CEO of Stark Industries — has dropped any pretense of a secret identity. Stark is garishly “out” as Iron Man, performing a one-man air show before touching down to host his Stark Expo, which transforms…
Did I say “Awww” during Babies? I did. Did I giggle at the adorable things babies do in Babies? Oh my, yes. Did I ovulate like a dozen times during Babies? You better believe it. Is Babies a good movie? Of course not. But that’s missing the point—like asking if…
Seeing the characters of Broadsword onstage in a South Florida theater is a little weird. Not that they are inappropriate subjects for a play. It’s just that nobody had an interest in treating them as such before Marco Ramirez came along. Because anyone coming of age in the ’00s has…
Thursday, local bohemian hangout Brew Urban Café will spike art with coffee and beer and stir it all up with smooth music from a couple of DJs. “Dialect,” the shop’s monthly dance party/art exhibition, puts up-and-coming artists across South Florida in the limelight. There’s Jeff Dekal, a street artist and…
You try to be a good child, but temptations have been known to grab hold. And when they do, who’s still there for you? Mom. That’s who. Today you can make up for past sins by giving Mom what she wants most: quality time with you. Well — let’s be…
Clarence Clemons is a man who has made his mark several times over. From his most notable role as E-Street Band saxophonist to countless other musical endeavors (Twisted Sister!), movies, television, and an autobiography, the South Florida resident known as “the Big Man” is a multimedia entertainer of the world…
Why dish out $4,950 (not including sales tax) to experience a weightless flight like the G-FORCE ONE? (1) You can float like an astronaut. (2) You can join the ranks of Nicole Kidman, Joey Fatone, Martha Stewart, and Ozzy Osbourne. (3) You can fly like a superhero. (4) You get…
Whether you own a $135,000 Maserati GranTurismo S or a ’96 Ford Taurus that can only be driven downhill, your ride probably qualifies for this Friday’s Speedway T-n-T at Homestead-Miami Speedway (1 Speedway Blvd., Homestead). The only requirements are “street-legal cars and trucks with valid vehicle registration and driver’s license.”…
With Earth Day behind us again, the green- conscious know they need to get creative to keep the attention of an easily distracted public. The newest exhibit at ArtServe pretty much does exactly that: “Trash-2-Art” features artwork made from repurposed garbage — and, in effect, raises awareness for Trash to…
Sure, eight Tony Awards may be impressive to some — but just music composer Duncan Sheik is reason enough to catch a showing of the musical Spring Awakening. Formerly known as a one-hit wonder (ahem, “Barely Breathing”), Sheik is the man behind the riveting music and lyrics that charge the…
If you like rock-n-roll à la español, chances are you know who Gustavo Cerati is. He’s the former frontman of Soda Stereo — the patriarchal trio behind the sound of contemporary Latin rock music and considered by most to be the best Latin rock band of all time. Cerati was…
The Hard Rock Seminole Casino wants to help the professional date, so it’s going to hook you up at the “Quest for Love Bash” at the Passion Nightclub. This is a call for “professionals,” a loosely defined category that will mingle under the Cupid-like supervision of South Florida matchmaker Marylin…
The 2010 Census questionnaire pointed out an unnerving observation on how we see ourselves: a mass of checked and unchecked boxes. For those of us with familial roots in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guatemala, the qualifier is Hispanic — but contrary to the questionnaire, the Latin American experience often has…
