And the perfect…
Most cats are acquired through divine happenstance: The neighborhood hussy abandoned her litter in a bougainvillea, initiating a chain reaction of forwarded emails throughout tri-county offices. Eventually some softy sees the attached image of little spotted extraterrestrials popping out of a cardboard box and knows that they have an obligation…
You’ve been scanning the hockey websites looking fruitlessly for the Panthers’ Eastern Conference ranking — hmmm, maybe you just didn’t scroll far enough down.

Well before you run off to the monastery, spend an evening in the Upper East…
If you stumble onto your favorite familiar, well-trodden path of earth tonight, you won’t find your weekly drum circle bros.

Seriously kids, the Dolphins aren’t giving you much to scream for this season, so this is a call to arms for sports fans: Redirect your cheering efforts to hockey. Our Panthers are lookin’ good, and their shortcomings (the boys have been a bit slow in the early periods) will hopefully…
Soul, funk, R ´n’ B, doo-wop musician Aaron Neville has been crankin’ out hits, both solo and with his three siblings under the name The Neville Brothers, for half a century. Songs like “Tell it Like it Is,” “Mardi Gras Mambo,” and a whole slew of lesser-known ´50s and ´60s…
It’s been a year since her murder. While the rest of the cast and crew carried on with their lives, joined other productions, and made their worlds whole again, the deceased’s lover – and the show’s playwright – has not. And quite frankly, he’s not too happy about that. In…
It’s been five years since Gayla Harrington first heard about the Miami Fury, down south’s Independent Women’s Football League team; she never expected to become a co-owner.

You’ve always known that you could scare children – although admittedly, it usually happens when you’re wearing yesterday’s make-up, haven’t yet de-frizzed your mane, and left that hair-growing mole unattended for much too long. Harness that glorious gift today during an audition for Sugar Sand Park’s Haunted House. “They should…
Most spooked spaces only teach you the basics: guys emerging from shadows have scandalous motives, chainsaws are a buzz-kill, and cackling isn’t limited to folks with deviated septums. So take advantage of a different kind of haunted house during the historic Stranahan House’s educational ghost tours. Docents donning Victorian mourning…
Wilton Manors is extending a paw to its newest neighbor, Tiny Treasures Puppies (2043 Wilton Dr., Wilton Manors). The shop is more akin to a loving nursery than traditional pet stores, because at TTP dogs spend their pre-adoption days snuggled in custom-built cribs – just waiting for you to scoop…
If you thought that the only rule in cage fighting is: There are no rules, sadly, you are incorrect. Or so says Crawford Grimsley, promoter of Let The Rage Begin: a Mixed Martial Arts battle of apocalyptic proportions. “There’s no eye-gouging, no kicks to the groin, and no head-stomping,” says…
The only thing better than making cool stuff is buying the cool stuff that others have already made. It’s all the fun of crafting without the messy cleanup. Amanda Watkins is hip to this notion, so she’s coordinated a renegade craft extravaganza called Stitch Rock. It’s happening on Saturday, and…
All theatergoers are searching for something. For some, it’s an insight into the cosmic meaning of life and love and how the two intertwine. For others, it’s to witness a rare slice of intimacy in an otherwise isolating world. And for the rest, it’s the promise of a naked noodle…

Not only is Dan Rather persona non grata at CBS due to his currently pending $70 million lawsuit, but he’s also shaken up the life of another – albeit less publicly. That would be local musician/composer Neal Fox. See, Fox helped write the theme song for CBS Evening News, and…
You are a rocker. And, rocker, today was crafted specially for you. From deep in the ashes of 1994, the spirit of Soul Asylum has been exhumed and returned to life like the mighty phoenix so that the band might entertain you at the Hollywood Clambake. But there is a…
When you consider that a mushroom is just an elongated fungal growth, the little guy seems untrustworthy.
