Not sure if you noticed, but it’s a little windy and wet outside. “Sure,” you say, “it’s been raining since July.” Yes, it truly has, and we’ve continued to drink and dance our damp, sad lives happy, even with these downpours. So, why would today or yesterday or tomorrow be any different?…
I, like children and crazy people, am obsessed with Halloween. The best thing I bought this year? A big, beautiful green heirloom pumpkin. I brag about it when people come over, make people pet it like a cat. Seriously. It’s that kind of obsession. See also- Halloween Guide 2012: Fort Lauderdale…

Update: The show has been postponed due to Hurricane Sandy. It was with reggae legends the Wailers that Revolution Live first opened its musical doors to downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Now, we don’t know what it was like behind the scenes at the other debates, but in South Florida, it was drunk and tropical. The press sipped on free Budweiser and ate off of pineapple plates (Lord knows how many pineapples died for our bellies yesterday!). And the students dropped…

Here’s a good question: What is a funky biscuit? It’s an intriguing name for certain. Up at Boca’s live music and dinner venue with that same title, you can marinate in sounds by jazz, jam, and funk bands while munching on food created by Chef Derek Leinonen. His menu is…
