Ridin’ Dirty for Charity

Going to spin class has become one of the most popular fitness activities a gym can offer. Whether you treat spin as a way to tone your body, meet up with your friends, or as a spectator sport like my father does, it’s a great way to get fit. It’s…

50 Shades of LOL

50 Shades of Grey has dominated book shelves and middle-aged women everywhere are still left yearning for more.

Party for Billy Boloby

You go out all the time. And whether it’s a life changing experience or not, you’re kind of throwing your money down the drain. Not the case if you come out to party for the Billy Boloby Benefit at Little Munich. The show has been put together to raise money…

Garage Party

Generally, the words garage and gala don’t go hand in hand: unless, of course, you’re sending your chauffeur to fetch the Rolls from the garage to drive you to the gala. The Gala Gig II at the Art’s Garage is a bit more down to earth than most galas. As…

Namastefarians

The yogis and the Rastafarians can finally come together on common ground – not that they couldn’t before – but not they have reason to! This 2013 Yogafest, presented by YogaFox, takes place on 4/20 and so, of course, it is reggae themed. Relocated from last year’s digs in West…

Heavenly BBQ Delights

Over 100 beers to sample, the best BBQ in town and a stellar musical lineup of the grooviest blues players around, all in one place, sounds like you have died and gone to heaven? Not quite, this divine night of all-around delights is an earthly affair happening at the Seminole…

Wield the Pen and Paintbrush

A spirit of playful rebellion often is a welcome quality in an artist, no matter the chosen medium. Cuban-born painter/illustrator Ana Albertina Delgado is no slouch in those departments. She cut her teeth during Cuba’s artist uprising in the 1980s and has continued to produce work that is deceptively challenging…

Now Entering the Danger Zone

Load up the iTunes library with Kenny Loggins jams and bust out the body oil and aviators, cause it’s beach volleyball time in Hollywood. (C’mon: Who can resist a Top Gun reference in this situation?) The Reflekt Polarized Big Shot Volleyball Series will land on Hollywood Beach this weekend featuring…

This Festival Has Wings

The Lauderdale Air Show? Yeah; it’s a bit old school. The kind of thing your grandfather might drag you to, just so he can (for the 500th time) regale you with tales of his fighter pilot days. But don’t be surprised if you let out an enthusiastic Holy shit! about…

Big Voices Stand Strong for Little Voices

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and there’s never been a better reason to wear blue. Show your support for abused children in our country and wear blue all month long, or take an even greater stand and join child advocates in your own community and across the nation…

Say Hello to My Little Friend

South Florida was a crazy place in the ’80s. While Fort Lauderdale was boozing it up and buying snacks from topless doughnut shops, Miami was a cocaine haven. And let’s be honest: That period gave way to one of the best movies about SoFla ever created: Scarface. Well, this Thursday,…

STOMP Around a Museum

How does a museum dedicated to children celebrate its annual gala? By taking a cue from its target demographic and making as much loud, banging noise as possible. The Young at Art Museum Gala will feature dancing, a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and, oh yeah, a performance by cast…

Stumbling Around Town

It’s no secret: South Floridians like to drink. A lot. And fortunately, many of our prime drinking areas are perfectly set up for walking. Or crawling. The main problem is pulling yourself away from that first bar. If you’re looking to bar-hop, Fort Lauderdale Bar Crawl is here to help…

Artistic Development

Poor Fort Lauderdale: It’s the quiet, watchful little sister to its attention-grabbing cheerleader sibling, Miami. Fortunately, little Fort Lauderdale is beginning to develop. As part of the steadily growing Fort Lauderdale Art Walk, C&I Studios is teaming up with All Together Now — of the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale…
