For 30 years now, the Misfits have spread their colloidal mix of punk, rockabilly, and horror-flick themes to ravenous “Fiends” around the globe. Formed in 1977 by Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only in Lodi, New Jersey, the Misfits were punk rock’s answer to the B movie. With a D.I.Y. ethos…
Now that hurricane season is supposedly over, it’s safe to start planning outdoor activities again. A nice, laidback place to start is the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach), where its Movies By Moonlight series continues Saturday evening with a screening of Willy Wonka…
The exhibition is called “Inevitable Continuum,” though it was not in the least bit inevitable. If Westen Charles, Elizabeth Withstandley, and the artist known as “Cooper” hadn’t decided to set up a space for young, starving artists in the Wynwood ten years ago, there wouldn’t be any continuum at all…
Fan favorite tough guy, Wade Belak, was waived by the Panthers. Luckily for us, he cleared waivers and the universally unpopular move didn’t necessarily end his days as a Cat, and from that sticky situation something great might grow: a new sense of team unity. The locker room rallied around…
“Johnny’s used to just be a twink bar,” says owner Sean David of the venerable gay club in the days before he owned it. “Now we’ve got all kinds of dancers. All kinds!” In fact, Johnny’s has over 50 dancers, and you’ll find 30 or so working the floor on…
With consumerism and capitalism taking a hit this holiday season, we urge you to stand up to one more enemy of the people: Big Parade. What’s that? You like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, its mega balloons not-so-subtly priming youngsters to ask, nay, demand the latest toy from a thinly…
Some styles cannot be duplicated, only ripped off. That’s the case with artist Roy Lichtenstein, the man responsible for redefining what pop art is and where it could go. After falling prey to unrewarding flings with Cubism and Expressionism, Lichtenstein looked to his son’s comics. Then he imagined how one…
Photocopying your ass and sending it in an “urgent message” to your boss. Stepping under the mistletoe with that girl from HR; drinking so much hunch punch you pass out in the recycling bin. Ah yes, office Christmas parties are full of good times. Good times that are likely to…
It’s only noon on Monday, and you’re already itching for a lunch break. Last Friday’s paycheck fell victim to credit card bills, not to mention your nervous landlord, who’s in debt himself and raised your rent to cover his ass. It’s probably safe to say you can’t afford a five-course…
Just two minutes, 40 seconds into week two of the Dolphin’s NFL season, right about the time that Arizona Cardinal’s receiver Anquan Boldin sprinted past coverage and took an average pass from Kurt Warner for 79 yards to paydirt, a collective grown sputtered forth from Homestead to Hobe Sound. Twelve…
Florida has more mixed martial arts fighters than you can shake a two-by-four at. Although no one’s confusing the blood splattering on the mat for a source of alternative energy, the folks at Mixed Fighting Alliance are hoping to turn the local stable into a profitable spectator league. MFA’s debut…
We may not have snow around here — thank goodness — but we do have lots of water. And, heck, nothing says “holiday season in Florida” quite like a boat pimped out with lights. This Saturday, watch as dozens of watercraft lit to the gills take to the Intracoastal for…
Removal of subjects’ temporal lobes reveals an absence of typical grey matter in these outwardly normal cranial cavities. In what would, under typical conditions, be merely a canal for the optical nerve, these specimens’ visual passageways are flooded with shuffling cogs, glitchy synthesizer illuminations, and bounce houses. Prodding further unveils…
Being an adult and getting grown-up gifts can make for a pretty boring Christmas. No longer do you wake up in frenzied anticipation at the crack of dawn. But fear not, apathetic man-children. Pink Ghost has been selling hip toys and saving X-mas for adults for the last two years…
The sisters are doing the holidays up right this year at Lips, with their brand spanking new Holiday Spectacular (1421 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Oakland Park). Repertoires are sprinkled with song, the already fabulous décor sparkles with holiday cheer, and the costumes … well, it seems likely that those girls…
After stops in New York City and Los Angeles, the 23rd Israel Film Festival has arrived in Miami. More than a dozen fascinating films are showing at the Sunrise Intracoastal 8 at 3701 NE 163rd St. in Miami. The festival coincides with the 60th anniversary of Israel’s tumultuous founding. The…
Rather than drinking yourself into oblivion to avoid another awkward conversation with the in-laws this holiday season, sneak away and catch Rich Vos at the all-new Coral Springs Comedy Club. Vos has been featured in his own Comedy Central special, is a frequent guest on the Opie and Anthony radio…
As a celebrity food personality (can you believe there’s such a thing?), Ted Allen spent years turning Big Mac-scarfing schlubs into fois gras- and pinot-loving metros on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Then, on Food Network’s Iron Chef America, Allen demonstrated his discerning palate by critiquing food from elite…
Fort Lauderdale — is not at all like Paddy’s Pub. First off, Undergrounds does not serve alcohol, especially to children. Instead, they whip up delicious and original coffee-based beverages, flavored tater tots, and head-clearing loose leaf teas. It is also not, to our knowledge, populated by vagrants and lowlifes whose…
Religion can be considered either part of our human makeup or a great distraction. But when that passion no longer allows for outside thought to creep in, it has a name: extreme religiosity. On a smaller scale, we’ve all been guilty of isolating ourselves from those who challenge our most…
You only have to watch one hour of Headline News to know that a large segment of today’s youth are lazy slobs who won’t try a sport unless it has the word “Wii” affixed to it. And we don’t blame them; if honey bun-eating were an Olympic sport, we’d be…
When New Times asked Miami philanthropist Myrna Palley what inspired her to purchase art, she gave a deliciously lofty and whimsical reply. “How do I know which piece to buy? I just know. I have to have it. It’s just something I want. Like, how do you know what you…
