Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Talking about being at the right place at the
right time: If you're at Green Room Saturday at 9 p.m. -- right up until 11 p.m. -- you will be drinking a sizzling elixir -- champagne -- right
next to a giant, metal vagina. That's for free. You must only know the
password. What is it? ArtServe. What's new about this year? New Times
sponsors "Red Eye" now.
This is the "Red Eye" kickoff party. This Saturday at Green Room, it's the bachelor party. With the tunes,
the dancers, the drinkers, the youth, the older youth, and the youthful
old, Green Room is pretty much dominating Fort Lauderdale nightlife
culture right now. Even more so on Saturdays -- it's been hosting a
weekly art/music event there.
Musical entertainment will be provided by Joy Division tribute act F**k Yeah, and the Reckless Dames will take off their clothes to complete the decadent vibe.
On this night, the venue will be full of
installations, digital art of the works selected for "Red Eye" will run
across the big screen, and the blue-bike artiste will hang one of his
famous blue bikes from Green Room's ceiling. It's free, so remember the password, but that shouldn't be
too tough (hopefully they'll be a sign nearby) -- ArtServe.
Coming Friday, July 22, it will be one night,
as it is every summer, that gives life to every art form. Street artists
will graffiti-battle in front of fine-art darlings and people in body
paint. You could find sculpturists in the spoken-word room. Do painters
dance? Yes. Go. It's at ArtServe in two weeks.
Red Eye Kickoff Party. With F**k Yeah, Reckless Dames. 9 p.m. Saturday, July 9 at Green Room, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort
Lauderdale. No cover. Click here.

Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
