A lot of plays fail simply because they can’t find any justification for their own existences. They die quietly, sinking under the weight of their unintended dreariness or inessentiality or silliness — the three qualities that, together, comprise the silent killers of the regional theater world. Today, these killers do…

Where can you find more hot chicks than at a John Mayer concert? You guessed it — at Blue Martini’s Wednesday Ladies’ Nights. Birds flock in for a multitude of reasons, starting with the fact that they get in for free and are able to suck down discounted drinks all…

Back in the day, the nicest thing about being an Olympic athlete was the art. If you were good, people would paint you, sculpt you, and write songs about you. Acanthus of Sparta was celebrated by Thucydides, and whole mythologies grew up around Milo of Croton — according to legend,…

Tuesdays are generally bland. You muck through the work day only to realize that three more grueling shifts lie between you and the sweet, sweet weekend. Thanks to Wilton Manors’ newest monthly shopping extravaganza, Super Tuesdays on the Drive, all of that is changing. Now on the third Tuesday of…

Some people can’t wait to leave home. They constantly annoy their friends with comments on how much “it sucks so bad here, man,” and they dream of the day where they can venture off into the great unknown. Others can’t dodge their birthplace. Maybe something terrible happened there, or maybe…

You’ve always believed that the universe’s complexity and your personal spirituality are intertwined, but since there is no specific way to prove this, you rely on faith. You should really get in touch with Kuantum Group. The organization’s mission is to promote public education in the field of “spiritual knowledge,”…

Guys don’t understand what women go through on a daily basis: being ogled by lascivious douchebags every time we try to pump gas, coddling our menfolk when we just want to scream “Suck it up!”, and working long hours to keep the lights on while wearing high heels. Yeah. It’s…

Even if you don’t know you know Rascal Flatts, you have only to think the words “life is a highway” to begin humming their stuff. The Nashville-based, huge-selling modern country trio achieved what few bands can when they turned their cover of Tom Cochrane’s merely catchy tune of that title…

It’s that time of year again — pop-punk season in Palm Beach County. The first sign arrives this weekend, when the Come Ons play their semi-annual reunion show. For the past nine years, the Come Ons — who don’t fall very far from the Ramones/Screeching Weasel family tree — have…

Could there be a better time to go watch a monster truck show? With rising gas prices, a mounting recession, and environmental paranoia, it may be our only escape from reality. It’s not the most sophisticated sporting event to some, but you’d be hard pressed to find anything more kick-ass…

Psst. Yeah, you. Please stop rifling through your couch’s cushions for pocket change: there isn’t any, and the act of scavenging is rather unbecoming. Yes, I know — times are tough. The scary oil speculation monster has jacked up everything’s ticket price, and when you opened your most recent mortgage…

Remember when you got your first tattoo? Everyone told you a picture of a burlesque girl on your left butt cheek was going to hurt like hell (cool, she wiggles when you do!), but you’re made of tougher stuff than most. You relished the clarifying pain as that needle dug…

Perhaps no other ballad was ever so cleverly designed to get into women’s panties than the early-΄90s hit “More Than Words.” The acoustic foot-tapper had Gary Cherone beautifully serenading his ladyfriend, telling her in a very subtle and charming way: “Baby, words cannot express how strongly I feel for you…

Of all the many reasons to participate in local music (an occasional free bar tab, throwing a little shade at the opposite sex), an earnest attempt at cultivating a cool little scene is too often an afterthought. That is, unless you’re Steve Rullman of Thehoneycomb.com. For as long as many…

The life of an undercover cop is a double-edged sword. On one side is the purest reward: an anonymous contribution to the greater good. On the other side, major contributions by a cop can’t be shared with anyone on the outside. It’s a kind of life that could drive you…

You think the WWE has drama? Those weekly grappling-soaps have nothing on Division 1 Pro Wrestling, South Florida’s very own league. For nearly two years, D1PW has been delivering the goods via mat and mouth, and tonight’s wrestling throwdown, Hollywood Havoc, will be no exception. With nearly a dozen bouts…

Tammy Pescatelli’s bio reads she’s the hardest working woman in comedy. Usually, being labeled as the “hardest working” person in your profession means you’re making up for a lack of talent with dutiful tasking, but thankfully Tammy’s stint on NBC’s Last Comic Standing 2 proves there’s plenty of funny backing…

By now, dear reader, we know you so well: You are an outgoing sort who craves variety and spontaneity in your events. You also have an insatiable yen for all things cute, quirky, artsy, and edible. Which is why we simply have to tell you about the Eight by Eight…

“So This Is Florida” sums up life on the peninsula in many different ways. To start with, the exhibition of decorative book bindings and book jackets is state-themed. More significantly, it reminds us that in this part of the subtropics, even when it comes to something deep like literature, appearances…
