“Go Ahead, Punk…

OK, here’s the movie pitch: Take one part fetish vixen Rubberdoll. One part 600-plus-pound professional wrestler Maximum Capacity. Top with a floater of creepy, ghetto bass purveyor Otto Von Schirach, a splash of Miami promoter Notorious Nastie, and garnish with the TM Sisters, Ted Vernon, and Sweat Records, then serve…

Ain’t That America

Finally, City Limits will be jamming all night in honor of number 44 during the All America Inauguration Celebration. Dymin, Fly by Night, and DJ Big Step will perform, and the club will simulcast live from the party town itself, Washington D.C., starting at 6 p.m. Find city limits at…

Night Time is the Right Time, For Barack

Folks on Clematis Street will also be carrying a big one for Barack; West Palm Beach’s Clematis by Night Inauguration Celebration will start at noon with viewings at downtown establishments along the drive. At 7 p.m., an inaugural salute will take place at the 200 block, with music and free…

Obama Is Three Syllables, Haiku Lovers

Well, here’s a handful of ways you can celebrate, commemorate, and otherwise contemplate President Obama’s inauguration: Start at 3:30 p.m. at the Palm Beach Poetry Festival, where the public is invited to share their original poetry in honor of Barack. Expect unchecked enthusiasm, haikus, and people looking for a word…

A Change Will Do You Good

We’ve had to brave eight long years of ineffectual, blow-to-the-head-stupid government, endure a torturously long presidential race, and plow through the reeking depths of a recession — but Inauguration Day is finally here! Our choice for the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, is about to be sworn…

The Booth, The Booth, The Booth is on Fire

David Booth is one of the hardest working players on the Panthers; hell he might be the hardest working player in the league. On the ice, he’s a maniac: charging after loose pucks, giving up his body on defense and taking gargantuan beatings night in and night out as he…

Joe Six Pack Spirit

Last season, the Florida Marlins introduced the first ever Major League Baseball all-male dance squad. That in and of itself would be unique. But the Manatees are not your every day, run-of-the-mill male pep squad dancers. They’re actually your every day, run-of-the-mill average Joes. And by that, we mean they’re…

Three’s Company

As far as numbers go, three is generally a lot cooler than one or two. Sometimes, it is also cooler than four. It may take two to tango, but it takes three to party. Trois is generally the best sort of ménage — any more and you have an orgy,…

Spend the Sabbath With Those You Love

True metal connoisseurs have flings with loads of bands: It’s experimentation, it’s safe and healthy, and you have nothing to be ashamed of. But once the afterglow of Metallica wears thin, or the novelty of Megadeth no longer has you “Sweatin’ Bullets,” you know one band will always bring the…

Human Pretzels

Bet you thought your Dad was pretty darn cool when he taught the pre-pubescent you how to make shadow animals on the wall with a flashlight. But could he visually interpret something like Snakes on a Plane? Hardly. And no matter how drunk or yoga-fied you and your buddies get,…

Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

Toy, art, and clothing shop Pink Ghost already has a nifty selection of hip T-shirts — one that comes to mind immediately is a shirt with a cartoon hamburger that coyly suggests he “wants to be inside of you.” But the shop’s newest arrivals are more hip-hop than just plain…

Not Just Another “The” Band

When The Strokes kicked off the decade with one of the best selling garage records in years, it not only fueled the indie-rock revolution, it created a deluge of new acts. Strangely enough, a high percentage of these acts were titled “The [insert noun]” or “The [insert verb].” Despite the…

Ah, Americana!

Your local fair wasn’t always exotic. They sold hot dogs and burgers and fried things, and this was not novel. You ate that stuff all the time. They judged poultry and cattle and pigs, and that was normal, too, because those animals belonged to your neighbor and you’d sometimes sit…

If “Only The Good Die Young,”

Ol’ Billy Joel has been kicking around the music industry for a while now — beginning with his Billboard debut in 1973 with a little ditty called “Piano Man” that surely must be tattooed into the brain of every barkeep across these great United States. Since then, Joel had top…

Wise Words From a Fat Man

Comedian Artie Lange’s memoir is titled Too Fat to Fish, but just recently his co-hosts on the perennially popular Howard Stern Show were suggesting an alternative title — Ticking Time Bomb. Lange is of the breed of comedian who wears his life (and consequently, his art) like an oversized cloak…

Comedy. Neat.

Certain drinks have a way of making even seasoned bargoers come off as sloppy amateurs — i.e., if you’re reading this while drinking something that contains Malibu Rum, consider yourself a newbie. Whiskey, however, does not suffer from this tainted rep. Perhaps Mark Twain said it best: “Too much of…

Carbonated Craft

Artist Francisco Sheuat has made a habit of saving what you might call junk and turning it into fine art — in the past, a little discarded Styrofoam in his hands might have become a vibrantly colored, 3-D flamingo. But with his latest exhibit, “Pop Art” Sheuat found inspiration in…

Vixens on Wheels

Each Thursday, downtown Lake Worth revs up for the Lake Worth Bike Night, a celebration that stops in at bars and restaurants across Lake and Lucerne avenues. Drink specials at participating venues, bands perform live, and pin-up vixens and hogs clog the streets in a party that will run all…

Give Some Gold, Get Some Gold

As a stand-up comic and Jewish mother of two, Judy Gold is infinitely qualified to dish on the idiosyncrasies of wiping schmutz off faces and schlepping children to school. Tonight, she’ll be doing all that while you dish, er, dine that is, for a good cause. Her dinner performance will…

Junkyard Jewel

Brooklyn’s Maya Azucena makes a stop at the Bohemia Room monthly spoken word and music club tonight at 8. Maya’s soulful vocals on her latest album, Junkyard Jewel, won her much acclaim, including a nod on Soultracks.com as a nominee for “Top Female Vocalist of the Year” and Allhiphop.com’s “Best…

Remembrance of Demons Past

For as long as it forges ahead without explanations, The Unborn works as a series of snap-cut gotchas introducing each new contestant in its pageant of cold-sweat set pieces. Often, this involves starlet Odette Yustman approaching some obscured, inevitably terrifying figure from behind, very… very… slowly. Yustman plays Casey, a…

Artbeat

Don’t make the mistake of wandering dismissively through “Susan Maguire: Asian Echo” as if it’s just so much crockery. This collection of nearly three dozen ceramics dotting the spacious main gallery of the Coral Springs Museum of Art is more properly looked at as a sculpture show. Such is Maguire’s…
