THU 19 Bartending can be stressful. Sometimes you just can’t remember whether you should mix Cointreau or Courvoisier! Jim Beam or J&B! It’s enough to make you go drown your frustrations on the other side of the bar. Chill. Tonight, during Margarita Madness, a pro mixologist will send you on…
THU 12 When Anthrax and Public Enemy got together to “Bring the Noise” some 13 years ago, metal bands began their rhythmic transition from straight-forward thrash to a funkier mosh. So it’s surprising to hear a new band like Hollywood’s Snatch Addicts, which sounds more like the thrash-core of M.O.D…
THU 5 Perhaps the film Nickel and Dime should be called Francs et Euros, considering it comes from the land of beret-wearing fashionistas and overpriced café au laits. Regardless, the French film’s director, Patrick Gimenez, is here in the States to introduce his movie, which is about a guy who…
THU 29 If you’re looking for the doorway to another dimension, psychedelics are the best choice. But… psychedelic drugs or music? Why, music, of course. Indeed, the secrets of the mind’s inner workings are found in the music of Jerrods Door, which opens you up to a whole realm of…
THU 22 Once upon a time — 2003, actually — “destroyers of bulls” Jordan Lorow and Christopher Macfarlane “realized what they must do. They knew that they would need help; an army.” So they recruited Joseph Nay and Daniel Levie to play in their band, Lost, My Love? When they…
Reynaldo prefers champagne and strawberries in bed, and he likes to take bubble baths rather than showers. He likes to be on top, and he admits that in bed, he is free and sometimes freaky. His favorite magazine is Playboy, and his favorite movie is Selena.” Too much information? Not…
THU 15 Tarpon Bend (200 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale) is looking for “any lady who thinks she has what it takes to be the next Miss Hawaiian Tropic.” If you’re one of those, enter the contest that starts every Thursday at 10 p.m. The winner takes home $500, plus…
THU 8 There’s a fine line between selling out and maturing that many punk bands would like to ignore. Not that Blink 182 was ever really punk, but Christ, have you heard “I Miss You”? It sounds like the band was held hostage by P. Diddy — quite a bit…
THU 1 After graduating from college, comedian Richard Jeni soon took what he thought was his dream job, working for a public relations firm. But Jeni’s quick descent into a lethargic slumber (quite reminiscent of Homer Simpson’s on-the-job dawdling) got him fired after only six months. Just think, if Jeni…
You may have noticed Ndakhte Ndiaye cruising around in her Honda Element with its “DJEMBE” license plate, dressed in long loose-fitting gowns called boubous from her native Senegal. You may have seen the dozens of long brown braids — interwoven with bright blue and yellow stripes — that tumble down…
THU 24 You gotta admire a comic with real range — someone who can impersonate Arnold Schwarzenegger and Joan Rivers. Pablo Francisco knows full well how to turn his gifts into laughs. The comedic machine gun delivers more laughs per minute than most standup comics, morphing in and out of…
THU 27 God save South Florida — the Creepy T’s have added a second guitar to their already fuzzed-out garage-punk mix, in the form of one Dr. Steven Van Helsing. While that may sound like a heavy load, just try to recall the last time guitarist/vocalist Derek Hyde actually played…
THU 20 It’s OK if Mexican immigrants want to clean our half-million-dollar houses… but when they move into our neighborhood? Hey, that might lower our property values! That’s the basis of the conflict that happened recently in Farmingville, Long Island — which is not too far from what’s happening in,…
With an up-from-the-ghetto life story and an ego the size of the Western Hemisphere, the man known as Bounty Killer — a.k.a. the Poor People’s Governor, a.k.a. the Professor, a.k.a. Warlord, a.k.a. Jamaica’s Most Wanted — has ruled the dancehall scene for more than a decade. Bounty was raised in…
Whatever happened to Earth Day, people? Remember the ’90s, when we were all worked up about developing solar energy and finding a solution to the solid waste crisis? We know, we know, the hippie look isn’t trendy, and being an environmentalist is passé. Do y’all even recycle anymore? So-called “liberal”…
THU 22 Aha! We figured out the mystery! ClueLess on Las Olas is really a pub crawl disguised as interactive murder mystery theater! Show up at the corner of Las Olas Boulevard and SE Ninth Avenue (next to Mangos) at 5:30 p.m. to register for the event. At 7 p.m.,…
When Jewel’s fans got their hands on her latest album, the beat-infused 0304, many of them got a little emotional. Their beloved wistful singer was pictured on the cover in fluorescent pink pants and torn lime-green and yellow shirts. The video for “Intuition” featured her dancing like any other disposable,…
Never mind the 11 Grammy nominations and seven trophies. Everybody knows that Grammy means “endorsement by a bunch of conservative old farts” in Japanese. For musicians, the ultimate compliment is to have your music chosen in conjunction with a Mars Rover project. So Béla Fleck and the Flecktones must have…
A city girl, Ms. Pussy DeLicker, comes to the country to obtain a divorce. Here, she is utterly shocked by the naughty things the local cowgirl, Shane, wants to do to her… but she finds herself willing to oblige! Can these women be saved by heterosexuality? Or are they forever…
A long time ago, on a wave far, far away, 19-year-old surfer Shaun Tomson made cinematic history. It was 1977. Darth Vader entered the world’s consciousness with Star Wars. Porn star John Holmes peaked with Young, Hot, n’ Nasty Teenage Cruisers. And Tomson titillated audiences in a different way. Free…
An all-ages flower show THU 2/19 We were old pros at planting banana trees in Costa Rica, but when we tried harvesting the fruit in our Palm Beach County backyard, the tree took on the brownish pallor and limp posture of a stalk of hay. For advice, we turned to…
Cool kids SAT 2/21 Except for those pesky seasonal hurricanes, the weather outside is hardly frightful. Especially not during February, when it’s more like, well, delightful. But if you’ve no place to go and you don’t want to break it to your kids that the average temperature in South Florida…
