    Funds raised go toward building a shelter and developing affordable housing for slum affected residents in Liberty City and LGBTQ youth.

    Our goal is to raise $325,000 with $200,000 already raised!

    The Legendary House of Lords will be on hand to make sure we have a BALL. Vogue, or voguing, is a highly stylized, modern house dance originating in the late 1980s that evolved out of the Harlem ballroom scene of the 1960s.[1] It gained mainstream exposure when it was featured in Madonna’s song and video “Vogue” (1990), and when showcased in the 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning.

    Longtime Lindy hop creative Sugar Sullivan and South Florida Lindy Collective will be on hand this year to get the party in Swing! Lindy hop is an American dance which was born in Harlem, New York City in 1928 and has evolved since then with the jazz music of that time. It was very popular during the Swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway, and Charleston.

    Worlds Game Events is also part of the “Smash the Slumlords” campaign, and will be in attendance to make sure the SMASH Bash has Super Smash Bros. in attendance. Super Smash Bros.[1] is a series of crossover fighting video games published by Nintendo. It primarily features characters from their own franchises. The series was created by Masahiro Sakurai, who has directed every game in the series.

    Stonewall National Museum is one of the country’s few LGBTQ-focused museums, and SMASH is honored to work with Stonewall in the historic creation of Miami’s first dedicated housing facility for LGBTQ Homeless Youth.

    Friday October 19 from 8 PM-12 AM: Rachelle Coba releases her CD, “Blink”, at LauderAle.

    “She plays the hell out of the guitar” – Matt “Guitar” Murphy

    Rachelle earned a bachelors degree in classical guitar performance from the University of Miami. With all of these influences, Rachelle developed her own unique finger-style approach to blues rhythm and lead guitar playing. After college, Rachelle became known in Miami for her unique style and was cast in an indie movie, taught guitar for National Guitar Workshop, and worked on developing guitar methodology.

    Her style eventually brought her to the attention of other blues artists. She worked with and toured as a guitarist with artists like Super Chikan, Albert Castiglia, Grady Champion and Ray Drew. After honing her skills as a side-woman, Rachelle stepped out on her own to front her own band. Since then, Rachelle has played around the world and she continues to grace the stage as one of the blues’ most original performers.

    Rachelle’s band features AJ Kelly (bass), Raul Valdes (drums), Allen Paul (piano), and special guests. LauderAle is at 3305 SE 14th Ave in Fort Lauderdale, phone 954-653-9711 (http://lauderale.co). There is no cover charge.

It is a group of dreamers and friends who have come together to realize a musical vision amidst difficult times which make visionary projects like this one difficult to realize.

From an early age, Carlos Camilo knew he wanted to pursue music seriously, and has since been influenced by artists such as Alejandro Sanz, Earth Wind and Fire, Brian Culbertson, Brian McKnight, Michael Jackson, Hans Zimmer and countless others. Today, he mainly creates smooth jazz and R&B. He’s released six albums and multiple singles and has played his music all over the globe with other artists, including Spanish Latin superstar, David Bisbal.

    Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Co. Partners with Waterloo No.9 Gin and Kennesaw Farms to Create World’s Largest Gin & Juice

    With Their Mind on the Record and the Record on Their Mind #waterlooginandjuice

    On Sunday, October 21st, #21 World’s Best Bar, Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Co. in partnership with Treaty Oak Distilling and Kennesaw Farms, will host a record-breaking evening to remember as ‘America’s Best Bar Team’ sets to create the world’s largest Gin & Juice with Waterloo No.9 Gin and Kennesaw Farms juice. The ‘Gin and Juice’ rapper himself, Snoop Dogg, crafted the record-breaking 577-liter cocktail last year at BottleRock Napa festival with the help of fellow West Coast rapper Warren G and Top Chef Season 6 winner Michael Voltaggio. This year, the local’s favorite neighborhood bar, Sweet Liberty, is inviting all locals and out-of-towners alike to partake in Miami cocktail scene history as they set to create the largest-ever 580-LiterWarerloo No.9 Gin & Juice cocktail. Until now, Treaty Oak Distilling’s award-winning portfolio of hand-crafted whiskey and gin has been one of the best kept secrets in Texas. But, the upstart brand recently expanded beyond Texas into new markets, including Miami. The flagship gin (Waterloo No.9) pays homage to traditional dry gins with ingredients like juniper, coriander and anise, but builds in flavor with pecans, lavender and grapefruit zest all harvested in Texas. The night will bring together many of the most well-known names in the global bar industry and bartenders from every corner of the globe to participate in this landmark occasion. Following the conception of this larger than life cocktail, the drink will be broken down into personal sized cocktails for guests to purchase while a percentage of all proceeds will be donated to benefit the son of the late great John Lermayer. October 21st, 2018 marks the 3rd day of Sweet Liberty’s 3rd year anniversary, ending the celebratory weekend with a massive mixology history-making event you won’t want to miss out on!

    The final Gin & Juice build will consist of:

    320L Waterloo No.9 Gin

    160L Fruit Brandy

    120L Fruit Juice

    TOTAL: 580L

These conversations are about creating a space for you to link up with friends, old and new, who feel the same way (and maybe some who don’t). They’re about discovering how each of us can join the thousands of people making Miami-Dade County a better place to live for everyone.”

    We’re Drowning!: Sea-Level Rise and Sustainability

    Books & Books’ Coral Gables Gallery Night to Debut New Exhibit
    Friday, November 2, 2018
    South Florida Artist Evan J. Alexander Presents Abstract Coordinates 30.40

    Coral Gables, Florida (October 8, 2018) – The gallery exhibition in November, Abstract Coordinates 30.40, features the work of Florida native, Evan J. Alexander. Comprised of original oil and acrylic paintings the art on display was inspired by the painterly quality of satellite imagery. Evan has focused on a controlled form of abstraction in the paintings made for this exhibition. He navigated certain landscapes to find compositions that aligned with the conventions of his prior work. This furthers the perpetual incorporation of advanced technologies within the traditional medium of oil painting.
    Continuing but reorienting landscape painting into a two-dimensional topographical survey aligns with the sensibilities of painting on a two-dimensional surface. This concept defies conventional painting practices by forcing an unnatural view from above as an alternative form of landscape painting. The view from above is foreign to most given our tendencies to observe what is around us rather than what is below.

    Evan chose landscapes from Syria seeking a connection with one of his ancestral homelands. Also, as another form of monitoring the transformation of the earth’s surface acknowledging the human interference. With most of the frustrating and troubling recent news regarding Syria, Evan strives to remind viewers of the natural beauty within the turmoil and humanitarian strife.

    About Evan J. Alexander:
    Evan J. Alexander is a multimedia artist inspired by the random occurrences in the universe. His style lacks the typical identifying qualities across his body of work. Evan might make an oil painting of a seagull he saw on the street and the next day he might create a digital collage of abstract components. Evan was born and raised in South Florida, studied at the University of Miami and ultimately completed his BFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
