Alumni Exhibit Mark K. Wheeler Gallery	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Mon., November 16 until Sat., December 5, 8:00am	Fort Lauderdale	Art
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 >>

Fourth Dimension Tarpon Bend	Mon., November 23, 9:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
There's no denying that Fourth Dimension is one of South Florida's hardest-working reggae bands. The group gigs constantly — at least four or five nights a week — playing all three counties in South Florida, and these guys are actually worth a damn when they plug in their instruments.... More >>

Underoath Revolution Live	Tue., November 24, 6:30pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
If you're looking to hear some growling, grinding, and screeching but don't want to risk angering God, it's a good idea to steer clear of most metal bands. Christian metal-core band Underoath are an exception, as they're proud of having the highest charting Christian album in the last 15 years.... More >>

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 >>

Megadeth Revolution Live	Wed., November 25, 6:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
One of the most tragicomic moments in the 2004 Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster features not the band itself, but rather Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine. In an touchy-feely, on-camera counseling session, Mustaine reveals something major inferiority issues to Metallica’s drummer... More >>

Vegan Thanksgiving Dinner Sublime	Thu., November 26, 4:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Food & Drink
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since Turkey-Gate — Sarah Palin’s infamous interview in front of a turkey slaughter days before Thanksgiving. In the background of the video, a turkey fights for its life, the whole machine shaking as the turkey violently tries to wiggle... More >>

Tiempo Libre Broward Center for the Performing Arts	Fri., November 27, 8:30pm	Fort Lauderdale	Nature
In Miami, you know you've arrived when your band's photo is featured on a Café Bustelo espresso can. That honor was bestowed on Tiempo Libre, a highly caffeinated septet whose members were conservatory-trained in Havana, but met on the sly to play Latin jazz, timba and Santería... More >>

Scrooge in Rouge Cinema Paradiso	Fri., November 27, 8:00pm more dates/times	Fort Lauderdale	Theater
We live in South Florida: Our Christmas is judged by how we celebrate it, and not by its appearance. And — news flash! — we can celebrate it with the best of places. Who cares if there’s no snow for making angels? We’ll use the sand. A lack of chimney? Not stopping us from... More >>

Skinny Puppy Revolution Live	Fri., November 27, 8:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
As half of Skinny Puppy, Nivek Ogre (or just Ogre, or Kevin Ogilvie) created, in the Eighties, a much-imitated, arresting blend of industrial and hard rock, belched forth amid bewildering onstage theatrics. A showman from the beginning, Ogre quickly used his theater of the horrifically absurd... More >>

Tiempo Libre Broward Center for the Performing Arts	Fri., November 27, 8:30pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
Since forming in Miami 8 years ago, Tiempo Libre has broken out in a big way, nabbing two consecutive Grammy nods for Arroz Con Mango and Lo Que Esperabas along the way. They recently signed to Sony Masterworks, who will be releasing their latest record, Bach in Havana. Simply put, the... More >>

Art Scavenger Hunt Maguires Hill 16	Sat., November 28, 8:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Art Free Events Music
That John Belushi “College” poster on your wall is not art. Neither is that stark black-and-white Scarface/Pulp Fiction poster. Nor the “Periodic Table of Mixology” that hangs in your kitchen, no matter how convenient it's proven from party to party. But we understand: Art... More >>

Fort Lauderdale Gun Show War Memorial Auditorium	Sat., November 28, 9:00am more dates/times	Fort Lauderdale	Expos
In what other country, but this, the U. S. of effing A., can you stroll into a cavernous public building (named War Memorial, no less, for the men who fought for this freedom) and under supervision of law enforcement officers and the Brady Bill view, handle, stroke, make gangster poses with and...

FMBL Pool Party Crobar	Sun., November 29, 12:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
Sunday, you can either watch football or hit up Exit 66 — so which will it be? Football players, or playboy bunnies? From noon to 8 p.m., DJ Matt Spector will host the FMBL Pool Party, sponsored by Playboy Energy. “We’re going to be having great music and amazing people,”... More >>

Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills Quarterdeck	Sun., November 29, 1:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Sports - Spectator
The last time the Miami Dolphins saw the Buffalo Bills, the Fins had just lost Chad Pennington for the year after his shoulder crumbled into a fine powder. They were forced to start Chad Henne sooner than expected and were sitting at an abysmal 0-3. All seemed bleak and hopeless. But every now... More >>

Fourth Dimension Tarpon Bend	Mon., November 30, 9:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
There's no denying that Fourth Dimension is one of South Florida's hardest-working reggae bands. The group gigs constantly — at least four or five nights a week — playing all three counties in South Florida, and these guys are actually worth a damn when they plug in their instruments.... More >>

Splash Pool Party Crobar	Every week Sunday from Sun., July 5 until Sat., December 5, 4:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	LGBT Events Nightlife
With mercury rising to record-breaking temps lately, clubs pushing cramped and sweaty parties may have met their match in a mass of tired, weary, and downright dehydrated club goers. While the cover charge will get you little more than sweat stains and runny makeup elsewhere, there is one place... More >>

Chrystal Hartigan’s Songwriter’s Showcase Abdo New River Moon	Third Tuesday of every month from Tue., July 21 until Tue., December 22, 9:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music

Let's Make a Deal or No Deal Bill's Filling Station	Every week Wednesday from Wed., July 1 until Wed., December 30, 9:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Contests 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. (Or so it seems by the elated faces on the television set.) And even though these shows are held in a studio lot, we don't mind because, well,... More >>

Freaky Friday Karnival Beach Club	Every week Friday from Fri., May 22 until Fri., January 1, 10:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	LGBT Events
Of all the lessons learned from the 1970’s body switch-up comedy Freaky Friday, starring lesbian icon Jodie Foster, the one that sticks out is being yourself is always much better than trying to be anyone else. So while you’ve dreamt of switching bodies with the responsible girl,... More >>

Digital: Insight Original Fat Cat's	First Monday of every month from Mon., August 3 until Mon., January 4, 10:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music Nightlife
London’s dubstep movement has spread like a summer heat wave across the globe in recent months, moving out of East End garages and into sweaty dance clubs stateside. Here in South Florida, dubstep and grime’s shuffling bottomed out sound jibes well with our own dance phenomenon, Miami... More >>

River House Ghost Tours Stranahan House	Every week Sunday, 7:30pm	Fort Lauderdale	Tours
Your usual run-ins with apparitions along Riverfront have to do with Ghosts of Drunken Nights Past - which are not really ghosts so much as pangs of guilt.
