No one said winning was easy: with the math and the numbers and the statistics factored into choosing the final two BCS Championship Game contenders, getting there is…
It’s hard to imagine a time when journalists were still able to ask the tough questions of politicians without endless rebuke. That might be why, despite critical acclaim, audiences didn’t turn out for the film adaptation of Frost/Nixon — they must’ve thought the story of British TV host David Frost’s…
If a band exists solely to keep the party going — as California’s Smash Mouth clearly does — it makes perfect sense to catch that band in a tailgate-party setting before a huge football game. For this appearance, Smash Mouth takes a detour from its usual casino engagements to play…
Maryland has the blue crab, an aggressive bugger that will throw a pinch at anything moving on land or sea. Getting them to stay in the pot long enough to send them to a steamy death is a task for a seasoned vet, but the mustardy guts and sweet meat…
Imagine a gigantic BBQ and keg party at 11 in the morning. Thousands of people are all psyched to see the game. College cheerleaders are doing their thing, as all kinds of smoke fills the air. Someone throws a football in your direction as you fill your Styrofoam cup with…
As a youth, you were content with spending December 31 watching the nuts in Times Square lose their shit as Dick Clark counted down the seconds until that big disco ball in the sky plummeted to Earth. Somewhere along the line, ringing in the New Year became synonymous with champagne…

WinterFest is to dance aficionados what an all-you-can-eat buffet is to the morbidly obese. An orgy of all things dance, WinterFest attracts professionals from exotic locations. And Philadelphia. Miami will witness such an influx of Guggenheim winners that the ghost of John Simon Guggenheim will likely appear in the clouds…
So that giant, inflatable gnome you gave grandma for Chanukah didn’t quite have the impact you hoped for. Make it up to your nana tonight by taking her to Those Were The Days. The musical song and dance performance will take her back to the Dirty ’30s in New York…
Just what the hell, again, is everyone’s problem with the Spurs? Yeah, Tim Duncan plods through life without flipping off Section 107 or getting busted with an Uzi in his britches. Big deal. We’ll spot you Duncan, and still not concede that the Spurs play boring basketball. Michael Finley is…
It’s a scientific fact that the best way to get over a holiday hangover is to pick up an enormous, chainsaw-equipped machine gun and mow down a few of your closest friends. And you’re in luck. SFX360 and GameWars are joining forces to destroy the post-holiday blues with a Gears…
Before the Las Olas Art Fair was a glimmer in his eye, Howard Alan started small, showcasing 50 artists on consignment with a six-foot gorilla strategically placed outside his door to draw customers in. While the gorilla ended up costing him a $500 fine, the Alan family learned a valuable…

At first look, the trading card phenomenon Pokemon may seem like it’s only for children. For example, all your adult sensibilities will command you to roll your eyes when you hear the word Squirtle, which of course is a kind of Pokemon that looks like a turtle and squirts liquid…
When you go to the theater tonight, don’t bring your mama, don’t bring the kiddies, and definitely don’t bring any strait-laced goody-goody who can’t watch puppets croon about porn, getting drunk, and rubbing furry parts. No, Avenue Q ain’t Sesame Street, but it’s still quality entertainment, especially for those of…
Tonight at 7:30, a legion of card-carrying Republican white men shall descend on the Bank Atlantic Center to see a 31-year-old former body builder named John Cena beat the shit out of a guy who catastrophically broke his collarbone back in June (that’d be “Legend Killer” Randy Orton). And for…
Trips to the bathroom would be boring without the possibility of running into one of our coke-sniffing co-workers doing a Lohan in one of the stalls. And these days, we don’t crowd around the water cooler to talk about the latest episode of Heroes; we wanna see if the boss…
Stoners from all over the world are well acquainted with the otherworldly draw of the White Castle burger. But what most people don’t know is the secret that makes the patented “slyders” so irresistible. It’s all in the cooking process: the miniature patties are never griddle fried. Instead, they are…
Fort Lauderdale institution the Downtowner is extraordinarily romantic, despite being located next to a jail. It is housed in what looks like a very old building almost directly underneath the Andrews Avenue Bridge, where the strange acoustics of the surrounding stone and water magnify the footfalls of passersby, and where…
Walt Kowalski growls a lot — a dyspeptic rumble that wells up from deep inside his belly when he catches sight of his midriff-baring teenage granddaughter text-messaging her way through her grandmother’s funeral, or when his good-for-nothing son and daughter-in-law suggest that he sell his house on a gang-infested corner…
