Deadmau5 Revolution Live	Fri., November 13, 8:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
Canadian producer Joel Zimmerman, a.k.a. Deadmau5, can come off as a dead ringer for other dance favorites.

Fort Lauderdale 13.1 Marathon 17th Street	Sun., November 15, 6:03am	Fort Lauderdale	Sports - Participatory
The Fort Lauderdale 13.1 Marathon is here -- that's a fact -- but if you're prepared to run it is all opinion.

Art school isn’t the best choice if you want some semblance of security in your financial life. But if you’re a free spirit, bound only by the lines you draw outside of, security may be the code word for misery. You’ve got wings, dammit. Don’t trim them. Still, it’s... More >>

New Shanghai Circus Parker Playhouse	Tue., November 17, 7:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Performing Arts
Old-school circuses are so out of style.

The good people at the New Shanghai Circus abuse... More >>

Splash Pool Party Crobar	Every week Sunday from Sun., July 5 until Sat., December 5, 4:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	LGBT Events Nightlife

Game shows mostly fill the air slots of daytime television - and during the day, it's exciting to win prizes such as a really cool orange juice maker.

Girls Will Be Girls YOLO Restaurant and O Lounge	Every week Wednesday from Wed., July 15 until Wed., December 30, 7:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Nightlife
Men, never classify a lady boozer at a ladies’ night event - like Girls Will Be Girls tonight at YOLO’s O Lounge - as a cheap date. This hypothesis is faulty. Because who turns down free well liquor, beer, and house wine? Both types of women (the Grey Gooses and the Buds) will surely... More >>
