RSVP for the HACK portion of the launch.

9am-5pm: HACK: A Bike Sharing System Hackathon
3-6pm: MAKE: A Bike Accessory Make-a-thon
6-9pm: DRANK: A Celebration & Bike Fleet Reveal

Bike on over, hack out a bike share program, make bike accessories with a 3D printer and then finish it all off with a drink! Sound like an obscure itinerary for a Saturday? Not to the folks at The LAB Miami and Republic Bike. Wynwood tech hub, The LAB Miami, will host BIKE / HACK / MAKE / DRANK, a three-part launch event for its new, shared Republic Bike fleet. The custom bikes, branded for program sponsors TigerDirect and MIAMade, will be made available as an added amenity to the entrepreneurial members of The LAB Miami.

As Miami’s most talked about breeding place for innovation and progressive startups, The LAB Miami is centrally-located in Miami’s budding Wynwood neighborhood, an up-and-coming area that still lacks a sense of pedestrian permeability. The area’s hot spots are still significantly spread out; therefore, Miami-based tech retail giant TigerDirect and local maker organization MIAMade came together to provide a sustainable transportation solution for the members of The LAB, the burgeoning creative campus that continues to propel Miami into the international tech spotlight. Republic Bike lent their expertise in developing innovative bike sharing solutions to put together a unique program for The Lab.

To launch The Labs bike program, Republic Bike decided to host the event BIKE / HACK / MAKE / DRANK, at The LAB Miami in an effort to raise awareness for the new program and to spread the word about the importance, convenience and joy of transportation alternatives.

Guests and participants are invited to bike on over at 12pm in time for the festivities to begin! The first part of the event will consist of a Hackathon where teams of two will compete to create a modified mechanism for the functionality of The LAB’s bike sharing system. The team with the most logical, innovative and easy-to-use modification will win a prize provided by TigerDirect and Republic Bike.

The MAKE part of the event will consist of a two-hour Make-a-thon with a bicycle twist, led by MIAMade. This special maker event will bring Miami’s maker community together to create and showcase a plethora of eclectic bicycle accessories with electronics, robotics, 3D printers and other popular maker apparatuses.

To wrap up the three-part launch, the DRANK portion will coincide with Second Saturday’s Art Walk. Stolen Spiced Rum cocktails and Duvel beer will be served to the public, as the official Republic Bike fleet of The LAB Miami will be revealed. All locals are invited to stop by and test out the new LAB bikes!

For Immediate Release

Hidden Colors 3: South Florida Screening | Miami Gardens

June 26, 2014- “Hidden Colors” — a documentary series about the cultural history of African Americans, identity and race in America, will be releasing the highly anticipated third installment, “The Rules Of Racism.” The film will focus on the topic of race, racism, and history within the United States. The project features various speakers from scholars such as Dick Gregory and Phil Valentine, to entertainment vets like Nas, KRS-ONE, David Banner and Paul Mooney.

The series’ director and producer Tariq “Elite” Nasheed — a New York Times bestselling author, public speaker, and radio host — is widely known for his social commentary. In the trailer, he briefly alludes to a certain motivation in approaching the topic of racism, “there’s never been a real dialogue in America about race because every time we talk about race the conversation then turns into ‘what’s wrong with black people.'” This documentary destroys the myths and lies about melinated people of African descent. For those who are seeking the truth about black history and the effects of systemic racism in this country, Hidden Colors 3 and the Hidden Colors series is a must watch. This documentary pertains to our youth, education, economics, world history amongst other topics from a melinated perspective. If the realization and understanding that racism in America still occurs till today, self adjustment can go into effect.

Hidden Colors 3: The Rules of Racism will be released June 26, 2014 and will be premiered in select theaters and locations around the country. South Florida patrons will have the opportunity to view this informative documentary FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY on the release date at Betty T. Ferguson Complex in Miami Gardens, 3000 NW 199th St, Miami Gardens, FL 33056.

In his dynamic one man show “Miami, Don’t Feed the Natives” Miami’s uber-talented comedian/actor FREDDY STEBBINS, brings seven of his best native personas to life onstage. Sharing their lives, eccentricities, problems, laughs, music and uniquely Miami opinions, Stebbins gives us a comical glimpse at the new type of Natives that call Miami home in the 21st century. From an overenthusiastic divorced Latina diva in Hialeah, to a 93 yr old retired Jewish Stand up-comic, a gregarious yet overbearing anti-Castro Middle aged Cuban Exile, a sexually repressed Anti-immigrant cracker “preacher”, a young pirate radio DJ from Trinidad in Overtown, or perhaps a seance with legendary Puerto Rican astrologer “Walter Mercato” – Freddy Stebbins brings these and other uniquely “305” personalities to life. Coupled with interviews and videos featuring the truly bizarre yet funny oddities of this “jungle” he calls Miami.

Photographs of La Tagliatella by Mr Q 305

La Tagiatella…by the time you finish reading the name, as you enter through the glass doors, you have already stepped a few centuries back in time into a beautiful northern Italian castle.
The decor is simply breathtaking. Nothing has been overlooked in La Tagliatella’s rococo inspired interior. There is so much to see here that you could spend several days just discovering new details…
and then…there’s the food…
But before we get to that, keep in mind that La Tagliatella is part of a worldwide chain of more than one hundred and fifty restaurants. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that they must be doing something right…and that…of course…is the food…
The Handcrafted Meatballs, made with their own home-made sausage and beef, seasoned with garlic, oregano, parsley and Parmesan cheese were juicy and cooked to perfection. They came with spicy Napoletano and pesto rosse panna sauce.
The Arancini, which are risotto balls, filled with mozzarella cheese, breaded and deep fried to resemble small oranges (hence the name) were crisp with a light crunchy exterior. They were complemented with a spicy tomato sauce.
Mozzarella Carpaccio, consisted of imported Italian buffalo mozzarella sliced on top of crushed tomato with fresh anchovies, olive paste and fresh basil. Now for those of you who are staunch anti-anchovies militants, I would strongly advise to try this Carpaccio, the buffalo mozzarella’s soft, moist, somewhat granular, semi-elastic texture and its mild yet slightly sour taste combine to give the fresh anchovies a delicate, natural flavor which will take your eating experience into the fifth taste (beyond salty, sweet, sour and bitter), the one called “umami”. Try it, you won’t regret it.
Now, in a place called “the noodle” you know the pasta is going to be outstanding. The Pappardelle with Parmigiano and Truffle which are wide egg noodles, sautéed with truffle sauce, Parmesan cheese, topped with fried egg and black caviar did not dissapoint.
Branzino alla Mugnaia is Mediterranean sea bass, cooked with a lemon butter asparagus sauce. Served with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus and arugula salad. This sea bass had a perfect flaky, buttery texture and a delicate well seasoned taste.
To finish an incredible meal, the Bocconcino, a fresh cheese cake with custard and the Tre Bombe al Cioccolato, a trio of chocolate and hazelnut semifreddo with chocolate sauce, were the perfect sonata.

Wynwood Brewing Co. Starts Artist’s Showcase with Works by Ernesto Kunde 6/14/14

Wynwood Brewing Co. Starts Artist’s Showcase with Works by Ernesto Kunde
THE VAGABONDSaturday, June 14, 2014 at 5 pm.
The WBCo. Tap Room
565 NW 24th Street
Wynwood Art District, Miami, FL

The Wynwood Brewing Company recently announced plans to start a rotating monthly Artist’s Showcase at its Tap Room. The WBCo. will feature solo-exhibitions of renowned local artists. The first show will be dedicated to the art of Ernesto Kunde and will open during the June Wynwood Art Walk.

Since it’s opening in September 2013, the Wynwood Brewing Company has been known for its support of the local art scene. Its Tap Room and brewery are a mini gallery of Miami’s best known street artists like TrekSix, CP1, Krave Art, Eva Ruiz, Kazilla, Ruben Ubiera, and Ernesto Kunde. The mural by Kunde, located above the Tap Room bar, is part of the artist’s “Miami Series” and shows the street sign of I-95 going towards Miami Beach. Continuing with the tradition already started with this mural, Ernesto will be showcasing paintings from the “Miami Series” on the WBCo’s Tap Room walls.

“My Miami series is inspired by the vibrant and unique Deco architecture and by the daily rhythms of the city. When I first moved to Miami 8 years ago, I saw changes coming rapidly. Many of the old buildings were being torn down or remodeled. My goal in this series has been to preserve a bit of history while at the same time offering tribute to this exciting city in which we live.” – Kunde explained.

The father and son team – Luis and “Pops” Brignoni – couldn’t be happier about starting this art series in the Tap Room.

“We envision a monthly show with renowned local artists in order to showcase and promote their work. Our vision for the Tap Room and the Brewery has always been to be an extension of the artistic atmosphere of the Wynwood Arts District. From our tap handles to our walls we are inspired everyday to create our beers like works of art.”

As part of the exhibition, the artists will be asked to create a WBCo “tap handle” that will be a signature art piece to be kept in the tap room. The idea is to create a collection of “Handmade in Miami” tap handles that could be later exhibited as a group.

On Saturday, June 14th the WBCo. will also tap a special cask in honor of the opening. An oak-aged Father Francisco with key lime craft will be served for the first time.

Ernesto Kunde’s “Miami Series” will be on exhibit at the Wynwood Brewing Co. Tap Room from Saturday, June 14 through Sunday, July 6, 2014. The Wynwood Brewing is located at 565 NW 24th Street, Miami, FL. Hours of Operation are Tues -Thur 2 – 11 pm, Fri. 2 pm – midnight, Sat. 12 pm – midnight, Sun. 12 pm – 10 pm.

Plop, bang, puff, squeak, trash! Everyday objects and their sonic expressions as evidenced in the popular and experimental music cultures become alive in a new electronic music set, sound installation and happening by the Brooklyn-based Swede Adrian Knight and the Slovakian-Miamian Juraj Kojs. Lucid streams of musical bubbles and clouds will pulsate into dadaist trashness, filled with nostalgia and humor. Not to be missed on the night that marks 115 years since the “American Temperance crusader Carrie Nation began her campaign of vandalizing alcohol-serving establishments by destroying the inventory in a saloon in Kiowa, Kansas” (wiki).

Closing Reception: May 30, Friday.
Time: 7-10pm

You are invited to join us for a talk with the Miami native art duo about their journey as artists and their works.
The forum will be open for a Q&A afterwards.

“A journey into the evolution of a Miami native art duo. Their characters are fragments of their life, portraits of distant memories. Inspired by the idea of culture and its everlasting impression.”

Opening Reception : May 8th, 2014 6pm-11pm
Exhibit Dates : May 8th – May 30th, 2014

We are Yuhmi (Yuh + Mi), Michelle Vazquez and Victor Vazquez a Miami native art duo. We started collaborating in 2009 on design based work, and in 2012 officially became an art duo. We specialize in painting illustrations, murals, installations, and toy designs.

Our characters are an ode to our life. A collaborative unified vision. A continuos narrative inspired by all of our memories, dreams and culture. Traditional and popular culture alike.

We paint portraits of people and animals, sometimes creating super human hybrid creatures by mashing them together. We like to think of them as our spirit animals.

Let your imagination run wild & journey into our floating world.

“The wishy washy world of beautiful human creatures. Peaceful sea of fantastical beings, where the ocean has no end and the world is shaped eternally.”

Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique & Professional and Life Skills Center Grand Opening

Lotus House will be celebrating the Grand Opening of its new designer Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique, where those who Love to Shop can Shop to Love!, at the new location, which will also serve as the Donations Center for Lotus House. Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique, an initiative of the Sundari Foundation, serving poor, disadvantaged and homeless women and children seeking a better life, is an essential partner with Lotus House in supporting, uplifting, and empowering women and youth to achieve greater self-sufficiency. Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique specializes in designer, vintage, like new and gently used clothing, furnishings, collectables and more, all at beautiful prices for today’s cost conscious shopper.

The event will also mark the inauguration of the expanded Professional and Life Skills Center, which provides basic life skills and job readiness training for women and youth at Lotus House. Building on the success of its earlier Retail Job Training program, a hands on “real world” vocational training course that uses Lotus House Thrift as a working classroom, the Center will offer two brand new opportunities for vocational education: a Barista Job Training Program, in collaboration with Wynwood’s favorite Panther Coffee, and an E-Commerce Job Training Program, both of which will be in operation at the Chic Boutique and coming soon.

“Lotus House Thrift and our Professional and Life Skills Center offer us a creative way to build grassroots support and raise public awareness at the same time we empower women and youth to build the foundation for the future and a better way of life,” said Constance Collins, Lotus House Director. “The incredible support we continue to see through donations and purchases help fund the shelter’s job training programs and operations; provide basic clothing, work attire and furnishings for women and children at Lotus House; and provide innovative work development opportunities for women and youth entering the work world and on the path towards self-sufficiency to build brighter futures for themselves and their families. ”

With assistance from local community partner, Panther Coffee, the Barista Job Training program will prepare women at Lotus House to enter the barista and restaurant industry through a fast-paced work environment at the new Barista Bar, soon to be located in the new facilities. The E-Commerce Job Training will allow women and youth to apply career and life skills to the field of e-commerce via a new online retail platform, operating from Lotus House Thrift Chic Boutique. Like Lotus House Thrift, the new Barista Bar and online shopping website will be staffed entirely by Lotus House guests and alumni showcasing the exemplary work of Lotus House women as prospective employees.

Lotus House Thrift will open to the public at its new location on Saturday, May 24 at 10 a.m., and everyone is welcome for a day of shopping or to drop off donations. Receive a 10% discount on all clothing purchases with your donations at the Grand Opening! Regular hours for the thrift shop will be Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Arrangements can be made for pick-up of larger donations by emailing thrift@lotushouseshelter.org or calling the thrift shop at 305-576-4112. Donations are tax- deductible to the full extent permitted by law.

Gente de Zona has recently performed in the past year at the Latin Billboard Awards, Latin Grammy Street Parties, and Nuestra Belleza Latina on Univision.
