Every good guy needs a nemesis – someone to bash him when he’s down, to kick sand in his eyes, and to generally piss people off. Which isn’t to say we always hate these jerks; sometimes, they’re damn funny. Which must be why veteran local comic Lisa Corrao is hosting…

You might not even realize it, but when you order up a beer at the bar, you’re taking part in a war. You’re a soldier on the front line of battle; only instead of a bayonet in your hand, you’ve got a pint glass. And you’re not afraid to use…

No other form of entertainment has made more fun out of horrible, gruesome, cold-blooded murder than Clue, the mystery-solving board game where players attempt to discover who dunnit, where they dunnit, and what they dunnit with.

There’s something about DaDa, that hip little restaurant/bar in Delray Beach, that transforms an ordinary night of drinking with friends into a form of mental exploration. Maybe it’s the Old Florida house in which it’s set, or the staff’s obvious appreciation for good art, but something inside just exudes poetry…

Join Norm Allen Jr., director of African Americans for Humanism as he discusses the benefits of a secular life. He proposes that religion instills “Pie in the Sky, by and by, for those who accept submission,” and that science, medicine, reason and reasonableness, and practical ethics should be the mantra…

Every kid wants to hunt for Easter eggs during the thoroughly macabre Christian holiday – how eggs came to be associated with Easter, though, is thought to be Pagan in origin. Why not combine one Pagan principle with another – namely, science – when the South Florida Science Museum hosts…

When Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was remade in 2005 by Tim Burton as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a little bit of cinema history died. What could Burton and crew hoped to add to the already flawless musical adaptation of the Ronald Dahl classic – especially by replacing…

The Italians know that almost any time is occasion for a feast. Easter Sunday? Puuh-lease. That’s practically an invitation to gorge. Head over to BRIO Tuscan Grille today for a Easter brunch the Romans would be proud of: frittata al forno, eggs benedictano, Tuscan French toast (woah) with mascarpone, crab…

Grab your corset, don a garter, and get over to Exotique, an Alter Ego Fetish Party event taking inspiration from the retro fetish fashions of the 1950s. Think Betty Page on a kinky, weekend getaway. Dress code is strictly enforced. Tickets cost $15, or $10 if you order online in…

In the grand scheme of things, Easter is quite a bummer of a holiday. Even if you’re a really bad Christian, chances are your parents, girlfriend, or grandmother will guilt you into going to church today — “at least once in your heathen life.” The promise of candy will probably…

Join Art Rx as they host Wetpaintathon, a day-long live painting session at the Lounge stretching on for a staggering 19 hours. Local artists Heather Tipton and Vincent Lardieri are “headlining,” painting in support of their college careers (proceeds will do towards their college tuition… interesting). You can purchase a…

You’ll do just about anything to avoid getting in a fight: pushing old ladies in front of would-be attackers; feigning a mental handicap to dissuade that meatsack at the bar from thwacking you; covering your face and screaming, “Please don’t hit me!” when startled in front of the library by…
