| Fourth of July Events Various Locations Across Broward, Palm Beach | Fri., July 4 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 As a little kid, you used to do all sorts of inappropriate things with fireworks. The time you set off a string of Black Cats in your sister’s bedroom comes to mind. Oh, and what about when you and your friends paraded around town tucking bottle rockets behind your ears and setting them... More >> |

| Kevin Smith Movie Night Undergrounds Coffeehaus | Sat., July 5 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 If there is anyone to commend (blame?) for the popularization of geek culture, it’s Kevin Smith. In Pre-Smith days, talking to your peers about general contractors on the unfinished Death Star would probably warrant a bit of ridicule, laughter, maybe even a black eye. Clerks, Mallrats, and...

| Peter Murphy Revolution Live | Sat., July 5 | Fort Lauderdale |
|
 The pale, delicately boned wraith known as Peter Murphy gained his seat as an anointed dark king in the 1970s and '80s as frontman of the legendary Bauhaus. Channeling the glam theatrics of David Bowie by way of the morgue, Murphy was drama incarnate, a Count Vlad lookalike who sometimes drove... More >> |

| Gay Tea Cruise Various Locations Across Broward, Palm Beach | Sun., July 6, 2:30pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
 What better way to celebrate the birth of the American Republic than with transvestites on a yacht? This afternoon, the Musette sets sail for the Intracoastal in pursuit of happiness and partying. Gay men will throng its three decks under the blasting music of a DJ and the hot, aphrodisiac... More >> |

| Sugar Babies Cinema Paradiso | Sun., July 6 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 You associate sugar with purity, childhood, and most importantly, dessert. What doesn’t enter your consciousness when pawing through the baking aisle is how the crystalline sweet stuff can be grown and refined, packaged, and shipped, and then sold for $1.15 a bag here in the U.S. (A hint:...

| Cute Is What We Aim For Culture Room | Tue., July 8 | Fort Lauderdale |
|
 Cute Is What We Aim For is likely the perfect 21st century pop band. Almost purpose-built for short attention span marketing campaigns, the four gents in CIWWAF focus so heavily on pop sheen, hooks, and scene-ster touchstones that it's often difficult to figure out just what the sum of the...

| Carole King Hard Rock Live | Thu., July 10, 8:00pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
 Scholarly leather-bound books explain the stages of grief as follows: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and finally, Acceptance. But any gal who’s ever been whacked over the head by an unexpected breakup knows that the list is incomplete without the sixth stage: Carole King.
Sure,... More >> |

| Sordid Lives Cinema Paradiso | Fri., July 11, 8:15pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
 Life in an Airstream is already a bit confining and awkward, so when you add a scandal the size of the one kicking off Sordid Lives, it’s safe to say that extra breathing room is at a minimum. See Peggy, the queen of white trash, has gone to that great aerosol recycling bin in the sky and... More >> |

| Björn Again Parker Playhouse | Sat., July 12 | Fort Lauderdale | |
| There must be something genetically different about ABBA fans. Those who love the Sweden’s number two export (behind Ikea, of course) are simply rabid in their support. They’re the kind of folk who dress up in white linens when Mamma Mia! comes to town, who give their kids Swedish... More >> | |||
| Ferret Adoption Day Various Locations Across Broward, Palm Beach | Sat., July 12 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 There’s something missing in your life that you just can’t quite put your finger on. You inspect things closer: you have a habit of building long, hollow tubes out of plastic; you love animals that with collapsible bone structures that allow them to fit through tiny spaces; you yearn... More >> |
|||
| Matisyahu Revolution Live | Sat., July 12 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 There's a strong push within mainstream music to categorize recording artists and stick them in a box. Case in point -- take a look at New York-based reggae chanter, Matisyahu, and he seems easy enough to classify. With a big religious beard, Hasidic attire, and pale skin, the fact that he...

| “Villains & More Villains” Pink Ghost | Daily from Sat., June 21 until Sat., July 5, 7:00pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
 How do you know when you’re the villain in a film? Huge piles of coke on your desk are a dead giveaway, but what about the more subtle cues? For instance, if you command legions of mindless henchmen and you’re not ordering them to bring ice cream to sick children, you’re probably... More >> |

| The Radiators Culture Room |
Fri., July 4 more dates/times |
Fort Lauderdale |
|
 Here's some trivia to bandy about when you're having conversation over cocktails. Ask who can name a band that's still intact 30 years after its inception. Better yet, ask how many they can name that still have the entire original line-up. The Stones? The Who? The Allman Brothers? Nope. These... More >> |

| Reef Fest Alligator Alley | Daily from Tue., July 8 until Wed., July 9 | Fort Lauderdale | |
| Four months ago in this very publication, we announced the first local Reef Fest rally — called Reef Rally — to take place at Alligator Alley (1831 E. Commercial Blvd., Oakland Park). We told you that Reef Fest is a series of ideologically linked concerts taking place across the... More >> | |||
| Art of Expression Zero Ping | Every week Thursday, 10:00pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
 These days, there aren't a lot of venues left in Broward County to catch live hip-hop. Most of the clubs where the genre used to thrive have either shutdown or no longer cater to that type of music. So it forces hip-hop heads to get creative when it comes to finding a venue. As a result, two... More >> |

| 2008 NPC Southern States Championships War Memorial Auditorium |
Fri., July 11 more dates/times |
Fort Lauderdale | |
| You have to hand it to the National Physique Committee, the sanctioning organization of American beefcake and of the 2008 NPC Southern States Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships. By making people’s physique not only the tool, but the very field of competition, it transmogrified... More >> | |||
| Summer Samba Nights Chima Steakhouse | Daily from Thu., July 10 until Sun., July 13 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 That anyone can dance in the presence of Brazilian food is amazing. Americans certainly couldn’t hack it — in the U-S-of-A, most of us can be felled by a mere cheeseburger. Eat the thing and you get maybe a 25-minute window before you must find a nice place to lie down. Then the Itis... More >> |

| Crush Thursdays Sugar Lounge |
Thu., July 17 more dates/times |
Fort Lauderdale | |
 Crush, the reanimated zombie of the indie dance party world, is back in action, baby. That's not to say this is a corpse that should've died long ago. No, Crush is the sort of undying party we need more of -- a friendly sort of gathering where art and music collide, where great tunes are spun... More >> |

| Sublime Happy Hour Sublime | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | Fort Lauderdale | |
| As a foodie, a vegetarian, and a bit of a boozehound, you’ve got it awfully rough. Sure, there are bars and restaurants where you can satisfy two of your most impassioned sensibilities, but rare is the joint where you can sate all three. Regular bars are out, unless you don’t mind... More >> | |||
| The Sisters Rosensweig Rising Action Theatre | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., June 27 until Sun., August 3 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 Wendy Wasserstein is dead, which is a damned shame — now, there’s hardly anybody left in the theater community willing to explore chick-ish issues like togetherness and transcending obstacles through mutual respect and zzzzzzzzzzz…
What? Oh! Wasserstein! Yes: the... More >> |

| Punk Rock Sundays Area 7 | Every week Sunday, 9:00pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
 How often do you hear about wrestling at a club these days without the words mud or oil attached? Not that those are bad things, but what about all the other types of wrestling that are going unnoticed here? Like, if you’ve got a hip-hop show, judo is the obvious answer. Country music... More >> |

| Life's a Drag VooDoo Lounge |
Sun., July 6 more dates/times |
Fort Lauderdale |
|
 New York's longest running female impersonator show hits South Florida like an uppercut (with a Birkin bag full of jock straps). Two showtimes: midnight and 1:30 a.m. Gary Santis brings you Babylon T from 5 to 11 p.m. Along with the crossdressing fun, catch in the biz deals -- if you bring your... More >> |

| Trannie Palace Bill's Filling Station | Every week Sunday, 10:00pm | Fort Lauderdale | |
 We’ve already used this space to tell you how Bill’s Filling Station (2209 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors) has brought Sunday diners back in touch with a great American gustatory tradition, with roots in God-fearing, working-class towns in the heartland: the Blue Plate Special. Well,... More >> |

| Got Gas Giveaway Georgie's Alibi | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Mon., June 9 until Mon., September 1 | Fort Lauderdale | |
 With the price of gas careening over $4 per gallon all across South Florida, everyone is feeling the petrol pinch. A night on the town with friends no longer just includes the cost of the bar tab and the inevitable stop at Taco Bell afterwards. And forget about being the designated driver... More >> |

| Drink Specials and Free Pool Sidelines Sports Bar | Every week Tuesday | Fort Lauderdale | |
 Sidelines is a fantastic place. A clean, well-lit and perpetually busy spot in Wilton Manors (specifically at 2031 Wilton Dr., right next to The Naked Grape and One Tea Lounge), the clientele is loud and fun and the staff are friendly. Sidelines is also Wilton’s lone gay sports bar, and as... More >> |
