Your boss is still waiting for an answer regarding your attendance at tonight’s company holiday party. Being an amateur, you haven’t yet thought of an excuse (read: something better to do) to save your butt. So consider it a public service when we tell you about Respectable Street’s 21st Annual…
Ladies, every year around holiday party time, you’re faced with a difficult choice. Do you answer the little devil on your shoulder who prods you to spend the night decked out as a scantily clad Mrs. Claus with permanent Eggnog mustache? Or do you turn your ear to the haloed…
Palm Beach Dramaworks discovered something important this season: that playwrights named Eugene had a bead on this whole capitalist apocalypse thing long before anyone else. Dramaworks’ first Eugene play (by Eugene O’Neill) spoke of the depths of depravity to which a man can tumble if he thinks he might lose…
On the surface, West Palm Beach appears to be an ordinary, well-heeled city. Look deeper and you’ll find a subculture hell-bent on pushing the finest art the community has to offer into the limelight. Art Rx, Palm Beach’s newest collective of graphical go-getters, is joining forces with two other art…
Azur and Asmar: The Prince’s Quest is the best thing to come out of French animation since The Triplets of Belleville. It hasn’t gotten a blockbuster promotional campaign, but it was released at the Cannes Film Festival and other international venues to great acclaim. It’s kid-safe, family-friendly, and perfect for…
As a child, you found him suspicious. Why would a magical dude like Santa spend his days greeting children at shopping centers? Shouldn’t he be up in the North Pole, keeping tabs on those shifty little elves? “Where’s the quality control?” you asked. It turns out that Santa can be…
Around the holidays, the general population can be divided into two categories: those who are getting some, and those who are not. If you wish someone would stoke the flame on your Yule log, spend a mirth-filled evening with local burlesque troop, the Boudoir Beauties. These stocking-peeling dolls take a…
You can only see a handful of Lichtenstein and Warhol knock-offs before you start demanding answers: Where is pop art going? Does it still exist? Has it, uhm, popped forever? Maybe you need to have a fling with Photorealism, Pop Art’s kid sister, and see if she’s got what you’re…
Ok. Its Christmas evening and you have been drinking egg nogs all day. After that big family dinner, take off your blazer and put on your punk rock outfit. Say goodbye to your family and hello to punk rock. Its time to head over to Churchills for the Testicular Cancer…
Many parties will rage until the clock reads 00:00, but one of the best shindigs to hole up at has got to be the totally free Downtown Countdown at Esplanade Park, beginning tonight at 8. The party proper will have family friendly activities like a bounce house, face painting, games,…
For a more intimate, but equally juvenile time, FunKey Nutz Dueling Piano Bar will be holding a NYE bash. Watch as the pianists mangle your favorite songs by inserting double entendre with an artist’s touch. Or just drink a 40 oz. rum barrel and toss your bra on the rafters…
Nobody does the sky-is-falling bit quite like Gilbert Gottfried. After listening to the nasally comedian rant for a couple of hours, as he will at the Parker Playhouse tonight, it’s hard not to feel better about your life. He makes no apologies for being a whiney, obnoxious cuss or spouting…
There’s nothing like a good meal to heal all wounds. And if creative, boutique restaurant Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink can revitalize your stomach the way it did Miami’s Design District, 2009 should be a healthy year. Chef Michael Schwartz is offering a New Year’s Eve menu priced at $125…
2008. What a crazy year. You can’t deny that there were some good things that happened in the past 12 months — we’re looking at you, Barack Obama, SNL skits, and the Dark Knight. But let’s face it: 2008 might’ve been the worst year in recent memory. Like pachinko balls…
Ask a late-night couch potato what it means to Jaywalk. If they watch Letterman they’ll give you a boring answer about crossing the street at the appropriate time and intersection. But Leno-philes will tell you that it’s the moment in your life when you completely forget who lives at the…
It’s time to be brutally honest; being a Panthers fan can be embarrassing. It has nothing to do with the way the Cats have been playing lately. In fact, the Cats are rapidly rising in the standings thanks to an excellent goaltending tandem and unexpectedly good play from young players…
Let the Christians and seculars have their Santa, he’s a wimp anyway. If the fat man were ever faced with fist to face combat, you can be sure he’d retreat and hide behind his magical reindeer. You don’t want a holiday photo with a dude who can’t hold his own…
Four naked, semi-androgynous figures painted with brightly colored spirals and puzzle shapes now grace the center promenade in the ultra-posh Boca Raton shopping plaza Mizner Park. Nope, they’re not disoriented Langerado festival-goers. These enigmatic figures are part of “Rabarama in the Park,” an exhibit showcasing 14 pieces by Italian sculptor…
After World War II, American soldiers returned home to reclaim their factory jobs. Many of the women that had held those positions throughout the war were content to leave them — who needs rivets when you have ultra glamorous hairstyles and a brand new product called Tupperware to toy with?…
You’ve been collecting for years: You’ve got all the Voltron figures, including the metal kind they made before the toy companies switched to safety-conscious plastic. And your stash of Speed Racer comics is nearly complete — all you need is a couple issues of the original Mach GoGoGo manga and…
A drizzle of Matisse here, a scatter of Picasso there. Finding a well-rounded body of an artist’s work in one location can be unbearably difficult, unless you hit up the Coral Springs Museum of Art. Thanks to a generous loan from the Kaufmann family, you and your fellow fans of…
Before the NBA Draft in June, the consensus opinion by scouts and executives was that the draft class was all about highly touted guard Derrick Rose and prolific forward Michael Beasley, with everyone else a distant second place. On June 18, the Chicago Bulls made Rose the first overall pick…
