VOX: The Storytelling Slam Gizzi's Coffee House	Thu., July 16, 6:30pm	Delray Beach	Music Reading & Storytelling
Slam poetry has been around for quite some time and it works a little like this: people of various talent levels get up in front of a crowd of poetry fans and recite their poetry. But it's not as boring as it sounds. Slam poetry is often told with fiery passion and to an inaudible beat. Most... More >>

Hot Rod Hillbillies Zoo Bar	Thu., July 16, 9:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
When it comes to fans of different genres of music, no two could be more opposite than eye-liner sporting goth-punks and line-dancing, country rednecks. Throwing both groups in a room together should be more awkward then a middle school prom, if not more violent. Yet somehow, through fusion,... More >>

John Digweed Vagabond	Thu., July 16, 10:00pm	Central Dade	Music
It's impossible to hyperbolize here: the Brit DJ titan John Digweed -- along with longtime partner Sasha -- is progressive house. Digweed started DJing as a young teen in the late '70s and early '80s, but it was in the early '90s that he finally got his big break, spinning at the legendary... More >>

Pablo Francisco Improv Paradise Live	Daily from Thu., July 16 until Sun., July 19	Davie/West Hollywood	Comedy
If Hollywood ever decided to revive the bloated corpse that is the Police Academy franchise and opted to cast Michael Winslow's sound-effect spewing Officer Jones as a white guy, there would be no one more suited to play that role than comedian Pablo Francisco. Known for his uncanny impressions... More >>

Third Thursdays Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale	Third Thursday of every month, 5:30pm	Fort Lauderdale	Art
You can't put a price on good culture, and on this and every third Thursday of the month, neither can the Museum of Art. That's when their reoccurring series, Third Thursdays, offers free admission to the Museum, live entertainment, and 2-4-1 drink specials from the Museum Cafe. On April 16,... More >>

Afghan Star Cinema Paradiso	Daily from Thu., July 16 until Sun., July 19	Fort Lauderdale	Film
At one time, Afghans didn’t have to be afraid to sing and dance. Then the Taliban took over, implemented Sharia law, and rescinded such basic freedoms. Music, television and dancing were banned. The Taliban fell in 2001, and new laws were instituted, allowing for an American Idol-type show... More >>

"Amazing Feat of Aging" South Florida Science Museum	Daily from Tue., June 2 until Sun., August 23	West Palm Beach	Family Events
In 1513, Ponce de Leon wanted to stop the aging process, so he made a dodgy voyage across the Atlantic in search of the Fountain of Youth. The legendary spring he found is located in St. Augustine, but, spoiler alert: no one leaves there younger. We may not be able to prevent aging, but at... More >>

Dogs of Summer Art and Culture Center of Hollywood	Daily from Fri., June 19 until Sun., August 16	Hollywood	Art
For a long time, you've thought of your dog as an artist: she's a master of texture, weathering and deconstructing couches, fabric, and wood with a deft tooth. In her soul is a performer waiting to break loose, to entertain your friends and family with such high-skill acts as launching herself... More >>

Bent Rising Action Theatre	Daily from Sat., June 6 until Sun., July 19	Fort Lauderdale	Performing Arts
In June, 1934, the Nazis launched the Night of the Long Knives, the Reich’s first-ever purge. In the international press, it was billed as a cleanup of Germany’s “public baths.” Those public baths teemed with the boys and men of the S.S. They were led by Ernst Rohm, a beefy,... More >>

58th Annual All Florida Juried Exhibition Boca Raton Museum of Art	Daily from Tue., June 16 until Sun., August 30	Boca Raton	Art
Florida is not a naturally great place for an artist to do his or her work — the land is right, but the culture’s wrong — and that goes double as one moves away from the little pockets of civilization clinging to life along the coast. That is why the best thing about the 58th... More >>

“The Light Fantastic” Coral Springs Center for the Arts	Daily from Mon., June 15 until Tue., August 4	Coral Springs	Art
In South Florida, the Irish are celebrated on one day in March with dyed beer, leprechauns, and bagpipes. While all of these things are important, and most of them are uniquely Irish, they actually don’t fully encapsulate all that the Emerald Isle has to offer. Let’s not forget the... More >>

“Off The Wall” Norton Museum of Art	Daily from Sat., May 23 until Sun., September 6	West Palm Beach	Art
The Norton Museum would like to correct a wrong. According to the museum’s recent press release, the world is full of paint fetishists who absolutely adore canvasses but turn up their buttony little art world noses at sculpture — a grosser, sweatier art that’s really more of a... More >>

Disney: The Music Behind the Magic Norton Museum of Art	Daily from Sat., June 6 until Sun., September 6	West Palm Beach	Art
Of all the secrets to Disney’s success — the belief in perpetual childhood, the ability to fix life’s problems with a healthy sprinkling of pixie dust, the uncanny ability to fit a life’s worth of baggage into one smart handbag a la Mary Poppins — the tightly held veil... More >>

"Barbie's Back and She's 50!" Old School Square	Daily from Thu., June 25 until Sun., October 25	Delray Beach	Art
If you were an American girl living in the last fifty years, you belonged to one of two groups: The pro-Barbie set, who lauded the Mattel creation for her iconic fashion sense, or the anti-Barbie crowd, who loathed the blonde bombshell for her influence on unrealistic body images. Maybe you... More >>

Strike a Pose! The Human Form in Japanese Art Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens	Daily from Tue., May 26 until Sun., September 13, 10:00am	Delray Beach	Art
The Jomon period, dated 14,000 B.C. to 400 B.C., is one of the earliest periods of Japanese history and is notable for its pottery, which according to archaeological evidence is some of the earliest known pottery creations in the world.

UnderWorld Hip-Hop Night Club Purgatory	Every week Thursday from Thu., April 30 until Thu., September 3, 10:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	LGBT Events
Used to be, the only place where black gay dudes got together in any quantity was the Coliseum, and a helluvalot of those guys were on the DL.
