About Viceroy: Viceroy Miami is the centerpiece of the unprecedented 10-acre Icon Brickell enclave in downtown Miami. Overlooking Biscayne Bay at the gateway to Miami’s financial district, this glamorous urban resort was conceived by South Florida’s most prominent developer, Jorge Perez, in collaboration with iconic figures in architecture (Arquitectonica), interior design (Kelly Wearstler) and hospitality (Kor Hotel Management). Wearstler created a provocative blend of modern sophistication and exotic Asian accents for the hotels 162 guestrooms, suites and residences, as well as for the lobby, restaurant and exclusive Club 50 Lounge located on the 50th floor with a private pool deck. Michelin-starred Chef Michael Psilakis and Restaurateur Donatella Arpaia’s Eos restaurant anchors the project’s two-acre outdoor living room and pool terrace. Borrowing ingredients from Spain, Portugal and Morocco, Psilakis offers modern expressions of his native Greek cuisine. The eclectic menu of raw and cooked small plates encourages tasting and sharing, allowing guests to tailor an experience to any appetite. The Spa at Icon Brickell, managed by Viceroy and design by Philippe Starck features 10 treatment rooms for signature Viceroy wellness experiences, a 5,000-square-foot water lounge and an expansive fitness facility. www.viceroymiami.com
About Cleanse Miami: Cleanse Miami is the summation of Dr Etti’s 10-year search for answers. She has extracted the most essential part of her seven-day program into a concentrated one-day seminar that is a fun and friendly intro to detox for anyone. “This is the beginning of a body, emotional, spiritual cleanse journey,” she says. “Cleanse Miami is a celebration of health and life; it is the health movement that is impacting our entire community in so many positive ways.†For more information or to register for Cleanse Miami please visit https://dretti.com/events.php.

ART DECO FILM SERIES
Tuesday 12 May 7:00 pm
FILM NOIR CLASSICS
Film noir, a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, often emphasizes moral ambiguity and sexual motivation, derived from the hard-boiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression. Hollywood’s classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s, and films of this genre are associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography.
Strange Impersonation
Directed by Anthony Mann
USA/1946/68 minutes/B&W
Hard-boiled film noir masquerading as a women’s melodrama, Strange Impersonation is a twisted tale of jealousy, murder, revenge and facial disfigurement from director Anthony Mann (T-Men, Raw Deal). Brenda Marshall stars as Nora Goodrich, a single-minded scientist who spurns marriage for the sake of her pioneering work with anesthetics. When her jealous lab partner (Hillary Brooke) sabotages an experiment, Nora’s face is badly scarred, and–through a twist of fate–she swaps identities with a devious blackmailer (Ruth Ford), letting the world believe she is dead. Under the guise of Jane Karaski, Nora has her face surgically altered, establishes a new career and works her way back into the lives of her former enemies and lovers, where she can carry out her carefully planned revenge. Free admission.
Location: Art Deco Education Center at Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Av, Miami Beach

MIAMI’S INDIE CULTURE STAPLE LIVES ON AFTER TEN SPIRITED AND FRUITFUL YEARS
POPLIFE Celebrates a Decade of Indie Music and Nightlife
On Saturday, June 6, POPLIFE will commemorate 10 years of showcasing indie music and providing a compelling, alternative cultural hub for nightlife revelers. The 10-year anniversary celebration will feature a live performance by Atlanta indie rockers Snowden, along with very special surprise guests yet to be announced, DJ sets by Aramis, Induce and Mike Deuce, lots of giveaways (music, T-shirts, etc), and the unveiling of a new logo, all at White Room, 1306 North Miami Ave., Downtown Miami.
Every major city has its share of alternative platforms and weekly indie parties on the nightlife circuit. Yet Miami has seen very few live venues and nightlife-driven events that hone in on a colorful diversity of indie music. Back in 1999, POPLIFE emerged as an antidote to the homogenized sheen of South Beach nightlife. Founding partners Aramis Lorie and Barbara Basti (later joined by Jake Jefferson) envisioned a weekly event focused on music and the arts – a social gathering for individuals seeking an alternative to Miami nightlife, and a place to dance and mingle with like-minded individuals.
Throughout the years, POPLIFE has become instrumental in developing Miami as a viable market for non-mainstream acts and talent. In addition to offering a platform to local acts, the organization has produced and promoted numerous events and concerts, including Le Tigre, Peaches, MIA, Of Montreal, Interpol, The Magnetic Fields, Jose Gonzalez, Chicks on Speed, The Faint, Yelle, Ladytron, Ratatat, Prefuse 73, Lansing-Dreiden, Jamie Lidell, Spank Rock, The Walkmen, Mum, Santogold, Green Velvet, Junior Boys, Mylo, Calvin Harris, Chairlift, Cat Power, Modest Mouse, Animal Collective, and many, many more.
Good music is king in the realm of POPLIFE, and its longstanding mission has prevailed as an alternative music outlet, encompassing non-mainstream artists and genres. The POPLIFE nightcrawlers dig into everything from indie rock and electronica to grime, traversing all aural, subterranean spaces in between. The key is to listen and dance all the way through, caroused and blithe.
But POPLIFE has always been more than just a party. It is a culture, and its devotees are passionate and diehard. The founders actually pioneered areas of Miami that are now considered hip, such as the Design District in 2000 when the event was hosted at The Piccadilly Garden. Same with the 14th Street/Downtown Miami club row, when the event was moved to the newly-opened I/O in 2003. Lorie and Basti are downtown trailblazers who have owned and operated venues such as I/O Lounge, The District Restaurant and Lounge, PS14 (28 NE 14th St., 305-358-3600), and – most recently – the new Ecco Pizzateca and Lounge (168 SE 1st St., 305-960-1900), in Downtown Miami.
By now, POPLIFE has garnered international attention and various globetrotting characters have stopped by to join the party – from Moby to Michael Stipe to Irvine Welsh. POPLIFE patrons are innovators, artists, tastemakers, hip kids, and dancing queens. Expanding its horizons, the organization continues to pursue collaborations, such as with The Rhythm Foundation, Le Baron (Paris), MAP Magazine (themapmag.com), Design Miami, Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Locust Projects, O.H.W.O.W., and several more. Their official photographer, Nefariousgirl (nefariousgirl.com), has been documenting all the events since 2004.
The POPLIFE collective has also brought its distinct brand to the Beach, producing and promoting weekly parties, such as LoveLife Sundays at The Standard (since 2007, with its infamous, rollicking Bingo game), Good Clean Fun every Thursday at Rok Bar, and Dirty Hairy every Wednesday at LIV at the Fontainebleau.
Currently, the signature event is still hosted at White Room, 1306 North Miami Ave., Downtown Miami, every Saturday night starting at 10pm.
POPLIFE has come a long way from its first incarnation on June 4, 1999. Here’s to ten years, and many more fruitful ones to come.
Voices United fundraiser with Nicole Henry at the Van Dyke Cafe, Wednesday May 20th, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Tickes $50. Space is limited to 75 guests.
So, it has been a while since I posted any photographs, but here are some good ones. Exxxotica Miami!
Note these are probably NOT SAFE FOR WORK. So, if the boss is around, you might want to come back later.
Unfortunately, we did not have much time to go, but we made it by Exxxotica Miami on Sunday afternoon. It was not packed, but there was definitely a decent crowd. I think the whole event was better than last year. More energetic, more starlets and semi-naked girls, more videos on display.

Yes, I took a lot of photos at Exxxotica this year. Everyone was very cooperative and friendly, and we had a great time! Â On with the show!

The Miami Rescue Mission Health Clinic–Fact Sheet
A partnership between Miami Dade College and the Miami Rescue Mission
DESCRIPTION: The Miami Dade College Medical Center Campus (MDC) and the Miami Rescue Mission (MRM) have a long history of collaboration. Located less than one mile apart, hundreds of MDC nursing and health sciences students and faculty have provided services to the men, women, and children served by the Mission over the years; and many Mission graduates have enrolled and earned degrees from MDC. As part of this partnership, the MDC School of Nursing and the leaders of the MRM created “The Mission Project†in 2000 with the goals of improving student achievement and clinical skills, cultivating civic responsibility, expanding awareness of health needs, and most especially, improving the health of the community’s homeless. A long-term goal of the Mission Project has been to establish an on-site clinic at the Miami Rescue Mission, staffed partly by MDC Nursing and Health Sciences students and faculty, to serve the primary needs of those at the Mission and in the surrounding Overtown neighborhoods. This clinic is scheduled to open on May 14, 2009.
MAIN PARTNERS: Miami Rescue Mission, Miami Dade College Medical Center Campus, Miami-Dade Area Health Education Center (AHEC), MDC Center for Community Involvement.
RATIONALE: The MRM serves approximately 1,000 men, women and children a month. Many of these people have little or no access to health care. The new clinic will serve the clients of the MRM and eventually residents of the Overtown community. The area of the MRM is designated as a “Medically Underserved Area/Population†and as a “Health Professional Shortage Area†by the Department of Health and Human Services.
STAFFING: MRM is the host agency and site of the clinic. Dr. Peter Gutierrez, MD, MMS, PA-C, is Director of MDC’s Physician Assistant program and will coordinate clinical education for Physician Assistant students, while providing medical direction for the clinic. Annette Gibson MSN, MEd, RN, Professor, School of Nursing, will coordinate education and outreach service-learning programs involving MDC Nursing and Health Sciences students and faculty. The clinic will serve as a main clinical site for Physician Assistant students. MDC students and faculty from Nursing and Health Sciences will help staff the clinic, as will students from additional health profession programs from other colleges in South Florida.
CURRENT STATUS: Initial funding was provided by the Boston Scientific Foundation and the Michael Capponi Group for the development and construction of the on-site clinic. The clinic consists of a waiting room, two offices and two patient examination rooms with room for expansion. In February 2009, MRM and MDC personnel received the “Certificate of Need to Practice in an Area of Critical Need†from the Florida State Department of Health in order to open the clinic. Future grant proposals will focus on meeting long-term needs of the Mission Project health clinic including materials and additional staff necessary for operation, as well as outreach screening and education projects.
CLINIC KICK-OFF EVENT: The MRM and MDC are organizing a grand-opening ceremony of the on-site MRM Clinic. This event will include a health fair with education and screening, and treatment of the clinic’s first patients.

The goal of US National Conductor Donald Covert is to bring a full Orchestra of which he is known for in Europe back to Europe with the World Class Musicians that he is presently training with.
Maestro Donald Covert is one of the very few Conductors worldwide that memorize the work and will lead the Orchestra without sheet music. His scholastic Degrees, Worldwide tours and training under Leonard Bernstein, give him the right to proclaim himself as US National Conductor and we agree with the Maestro.

3- Our friends of Jack Daniels will also take care of all of us attending the show with open bar & drink specials all night
Sóniko is the creative sonic experience conformed by Alex Izaguirre, Javier Güell, Jorge GarcÃa and Toto González, rooted in Miami’s underground spectrum of various musical tendencies. The 90’s Grunge, Brit Pop, a decisive base of Rock en Español, and fine arrangements of electronic variations mainly influence their sound and style.
In Sóniko’s first album “Kombustiónâ€, their four members took on the enormous task of producing and working with renowned Grammy award winner Marcelo Añez (Shakira-Unplugged & ThalÃa), who put the final touches and reaffirmed the band’s desired sound.
A CD that got them 3 MTV Español top ten videos and concerts around the USA including SXSW, Latin Alternative Music Conference and Billboard Latin Music Conference among others.
Sóniko’s second album “AntÃdoto Parcial” shows their growth as composers and it’s evident in a collection of 12 excellent tracks. On this occasion, the band decided to bring back the locally acclaimed “Laberinto” which wasn’t released in “Kombustión”, with the special appearance of Gabriel from Minimal joining Alex on vocals.
The band will celebrate on May 21st at Transit Lounge the release or their new album in Miami with a free event supported by Myspace Latino, Jack Daniels, Gibson and Fábrika. This event will be special because SONIKO will do a live Internet broadcast for all their fans and friends outside Miami. This live broadcast will start at 10PM Eastern time at www.soniko.com
Since their origins in 2002, Sóniko is one of those bands that have triggered Miami’s interest in indie rock in both the Anglo and Latin community. Their local success has reached out to other places such as California, New York, Georgia, Texas and Puerto Rico. Through Fabrika, Myspace, Facebook and several other music related Internet sites, the band has built up a strong international fan base, which is awaiting the moment of Soniko’s powerful live performance to be back and also to be seen for the first time.

Hailed by the international press as “American Virtuosi,” the Borowsky siblings have been praised world-wide for their outstanding musicianship. Although young, they have won their way into the hearts of millions of people through their concerts in North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe; radio and television performances; and CD recordings. In 2004 they received the Erick Friedman Prize for Outstanding Young Musicians and were invited to perform their Carnegie Hall debut. In the last year, they have performed Pre-Olympic concerts in China (“One World, One Dream, One Family”), resided as Artists and Scholars in Residence at the Dilsberg Castle in Germany as recipients of a grant from the Rhein-Neckar Kulturstiftung, and were the featured soloists for the U.S. concert tour of the Young German Symphony Orchestra, performing the Beethoven Triple Concerto in Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Gettysburg, Emmitsburg, Baltimore, Washington, and New York.
Frances Grace has performed in Israel, Jordan, Indonesia, Japan, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Germany, Poland, Scandinavia, Canada, and the USA. She studies under the guidance of her mother, and also has been mentored by such cellists as Janos Starker, Michael Flaksman, and Zara Nelsova. At the age of fourteen, she was awarded a full scholarship for her studies at the University of Maryland/Towson University (Honor’s College Program). She recently was awarded the first prize in the prestigious Peggy Yale Gordon Music Competition.
Emmanuel has been lauded as an outstanding musician of his generation since his debut at age six. At the age of ten, he performed Vivaldi’s A minor concerto in Washington D.C. before a sold-out audience of over 9,000 people. He has since performed recitals and concerts throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and has frequently been featured on television and radio programs. Among his teachers have been Jaime Laredo, Zoltan Szabo, Dorothy DeLay, Erick Friedman, Gudny Gudmundsdotir, and Mark Kaplan. He is a winner of the Montpelier Performing Arts Society Competition and recently performed the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with the Indiana University Orchestra.
Elizabeth has achieved international recognition as a highly artistic pianist and composer. Since her debut at age seven, she has performed in renowned concert halls and participated in prestigious festivals throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. She has received an impressive array of awards including the International Young Artists Award, Heidelberg Grand Prix, Chopin Foundation of the United States Scholarship, Pro Sinfonika Award for Promoting Classical Music Among Youth, Jerusalem Medal for Composition, National Foundation for the Arts Merit Award, and Kosciuszko Foundation Scholarship for Graduate Studies. She has taught at Indiana University (Bloomington) and the International Music Institute and Festival USA.

FUTURE SHOCK!
The Black Mangrove Collective presents Future Shock! a two -day only show with an opening reception on Friday, May 29th from 8-11pm.
In a world caught in a perpetual state of flux, all the more felt by the dominance of communication technologies, Future Shock explores the work of twelve diverse artists who examine the effects of rapid technological, political, and social change in society. The title is a reference to a book written by the futurist Alvin Toffler in 1970. Themes of transience, identity, memory, communication, originality, and spirituality are explored as well as how people adapt to the pace of change at the dawn of the 21st century. The artwork in Future Shock raises fundamental questions about the impact that technology has on our experience of contemporary life. Artists present this through video, interactive installations, decollages, mixed media, sculpture, and photography.
Featured artists include Orlando Estrada, Kiwi Farah, Sam Gualtieri, The Human Observation Society, Cristina Molina, Federico Nessi, Roxy Ramos, Rosemarie Romero, Nancy Trevino, TV, Kacey Westall Keogh, and Mellissa Wallen

Flamingo Park Masterplan
Images of Flamingo Neighborhood Improvement Program
The Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association, Miami Beach Community Development Corporation and the City of Miami Beach – CIP Department will jointly host a preview opening of a Special Exhibit of neighborhood improvement plans for Flamingo Park and Neighborhood Streetscape Improvement Projects.
Immediately preceding the 6:00 pm exhibit opening, the Flamingo Neighborhood Association will convene a brief business meeting, 5:00 to 6:00 pm to discuss special event applications.
The Neighborhood Exhibit presents images of the Flamingo Park Masterplan and Neighborhood Streetscape Improvement Projects for the information of residents of the area – bordered by Fifth Street on the South, Lincoln Road on the North, Washington Avenue on the East, and Alton Road on the West. This exhibit preview coincides with celebration of the 30th Year Anniversary of the Recognition of the Miami Beach Art Deco Architectural District on the National Register of Historic Places.
The City of Miami Beach Office of Capital Improvement Projects is working with architects/designers Wolfberg Alvarez on the Flamingo Park Masterplan which will include removal of the Property Maintenance, a new tennis center, upgrade of the tennis courts, improvements to Memorial Field football and track facilities, upgrade of restroom facilities, community garden, restoration of the historic building, improved pathways and edge treatments, enhanced landscaping, security lighting, site furnishings and other park improvements.
Proposed Neighborhood Improvements include water and stormwater projects to be funded by Water and Stormwater Bonds as well as above ground Streetscape Improvements primarily funded by G O Bonds. The Streetscape Improvement program evolved from a series of recommendations that emerged from resident initiated community design charrettes and City sponsored workshops.
Community Design Recommendations included:
Improvement in the way Flamingo Park relates to the Neighborhood
Increased native shade tree canopy protecting pedestrians from sun & rain
Slow down auto traffic on neighborhood streets through traffic calming
Use street corner landscaping and facilitate shorter pedestrian street crossings
Improve neighborhood connection to Biscayne Bay
Create a pedestrian Safe-way from Fisher Fienberg to Flamingo Park
Introduce Neighborhood Entrances and Pathfinder Signage
Provide pedestrian scale street lighting throughout the neighborhood
Create a strong pedestrian Link from Lincoln Road to Espanola Way to Ocean Drive
Repair, replace street pavement, sidewalks, curb and gutter and crosswalks
The project program adopted by the City Commission includes improvement to water distribution system, stormwater drainage system and streetscape improvements:
Traffic calming improvements to Euclid Avenue with narrow lanes and tree canopy
Extending landscaping and pedestrian amenities along Meridian Ave to Lincoln Rd
Creating Flamingo Park entrance features and School to Park Pedestrian Walk
Traffic calming – crosswalks and landscaped corners throughout the neighborhood
Pedestrian walkways along Tenth Street, 14th Street West, and 13th Street East
Special treatments along Pennsylvania Avenue creating a Plaza at 8th Street
Organizing the parking and swale west of Flamingo Park in Residential Area

Knife In The Water (Nóz w wodzie)
(Directed by Roman Polanski/Poland/1962)
With Leon Niemczyk, Jolanta Umecka, Zygmunt Malonowicz
Roman Polanski’s first feature is a brilliant psychological thriller that many critics still consider among his greatest work. The story is simple, yet the implications of its characters’ emotions and actions are profound. When a young hitchhiker joins a couple on a weekend yacht trip, psychological warfare breaks out as the two men compete for the woman’s attention. A storm forces the small crew below deck, and tension builds to a violent climax. With stinging dialogue and a mercilessly probing camera, Polanski creates a disturbing study of fear, humiliation, sexuality, and aggression. This remarkable directorial debut won Polanski worldwide acclaim, a place on the cover of Time, and his first Oscar nomination. In Polish with English subtitles.
WINNER: FIPRESCI Prize Venice Film Festival
“It was the maverick Roman Polanski who emerged onto the international film scene in the early 1960s obsessed not so much with the big issues of the day as with the quirks and backwaters of human nature.â€-Peter Cowie

Batten/Genfan
Monday, May 18
8 p.m.
TIB Amphitheater
On Monday, May 18, at the TIB Bank of the Keys Amphitheater, fans can experience two of the most critically acclaimed guitarists playing today — Jennifer Batten and Vicki Genfan.
At one point Batten was in 6 different bands, playing everything from straight ahead rock, to metal, fusion, and funk. A major turning point came when she was selected from more than 100 guitarists to play in Michael Jackson’s band, resulting in 3 world tours over 10 years and playing in front of almost 5 million people.
Spring of 98’ saw Batten joining legendary guitarist Jeff Beck, resulting in two CDs (“Who Else,” “You Had It Comingâ€) and corresponding world tours. Says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer of Jennifer’s Rock N Roll Hall of Fame performance honoring Les Paul: “The evening’s showstopper was Jennifer Batten…amazing and technically dazzling.”
Vicki Genfan has captivated both US and international audiences with a unique style that defies description. Winner of the prestigious 2008 Guitar Player’s “Guitar Superstarâ€Award, Vicki has developed a sound all her own.
As Joel Selvin of the San Francisco Chronicle writes, “Genfan doesn’t just play guitar. She also slaps it, tickles it, fondles it, scratches it, tosses it around in her hands and coaxes all kinds of unlikely, rhythmic sounds out of the otherwise simple instrument.â€
Vicki is that rare artist whose live performances are becoming legendary among fans.
Genfan’s newest release is “UnCovered.â€

Art, Straight from the Ahol BY RAINA MCLEOD Art, Straight from the Ahol With a beard like tar-soaked cotton candy and a mouthful of 24-karat dental work, Alouishous San Gomma is hard to miss. And lucky for our cultural landscape, the Hialeah-born artist and winner of Colt 45’s Ink the Can Contest produces pieces that are just as loud — his weapon of choice being the pen and his canvas all of Miami. Also known as Aholsniffsglue, this dude creates droopy-eyed characters that pepper lightpoles and brick walls city-wide, but this Saturday, catch his work at “P(ART)Y,†a full retrospective of his career and the first exhibit that showcases Ahol’s works exclusively. “I’ve been doing my thing for quite awhile, and I’ve been involved in many different aspects of Miami, from the punk scene to the party scene to art stuff,†Ahol explains. “And this is a collective of what I’ve been doing for the past 10 years.†At Stash Gallery from 7 p.m. to midnight, fellow party boys José El Rey and Slim Biscayne (the other two-thirds of the ¿Que Pasa M.I.A.? crew) will join him, which means there’ll be no better party than this one. Did we mention there’ll be grilled cheese sandwiches?
Perhaps most notorious around Miami for the cryptic stickers and tags bearing his name that pop up on every light pole, mailbox, bar wall, and bus stop, Aholsniffsglue is one of this city’s most mysterious, prolific, and off-the-wall creative spirits. If you’ve been around the gallery circuit a bit (or have even attended one of the raucous parties hosted by his crew, ¿Que Pasa Mia?), then you’ve no doubt seen at least one of his drawings, paintings, or printworks, which often showcase his meticulous line-work in blue ballpoint pen. If you haven’t, tonight is your chance to catch up, as Stash Gallery hosts a retrospective exhibition. Ahol’s ¿Que Pasa Mia? compadre Jose el Rey mans the decks.

What Comes After
Nancy Friedemann
On View May 20, 2009- September 20, 2009
Nancy Friedemann lives and works in Bogota, Colombia and New York. In her paintings, she manipulates symbols that deal with ideas about femininity and the role of women in art history. Friedemann is inspired by Spanish colonial painting styles and Minimalism. In painting these delicate objects in a careful and detailed way, Friedemann monumentalizes them, giving them a heroic place and scale. By re-enacting the process of making lace through drawing and painting, each done with tiny strokes and an economy of materials, Friedemann explores the experience of identity and memory from a feminist perspective.

On Thursday, July 9, at 6:00 p.m., the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University and the 2009 NPC Southern States Fitness, Figure, Bikini & Bodybuilding Championships will unite to present “The Muscular Body as Living Art.†The special event will be held at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale’s Horvitz Auditorium and outdoor Sculpture Terrace in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Ellie Rodriguez, the entertainment reporter for Deco Drive, will host “The Muscular Body as Living Art†– a fun, live exhibition featuring NPC Bodybuilding Champions with commentary by noted faculty from Nova Southeastern University. The faculty will discuss male and female muscular body images throughout art history from sculpture to pop art. During the discussion, NPC Bodybuilding Champions will bring iconic sculptures such as The Thinker, Diana (goddess of the hunt), Hercules (of the Theatre of Pompey), and Michelangelo’s David to life-posed on pedestals. The audience is invited to participate in what promises to be a lively discussion on male and female muscular body images in society.
“Artists for centuries have studied the human body, its contours, beauty, and power,’’ said Irvin Lippman, Executive Director of the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale. “Now, front and center for the first time, and guaranteed to be a one-day blockbuster, we offer you what promises to be an exceptional exhibition of muscular energy.â€
The event will be followed by an outdoor party with refreshments featuring bodybuilders posing, live musical performances and an extravagant wall-to-wall screening of the Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary “Pumping Iron.â€
“This event will be an exciting pre-event to our 2009 NPC Southern States Championships,†commented Peter W. Potter, NPC National Vice-President & Promoter. “From the classical times of the Greeks & Romans to the present, a muscular physique has been the subject of artists and sculptors world-wide. The participating bodybuilders will exhibit the finest physiques of the present, as they will be in contest shape ready for the July 10-11 2009 NPC Southern States Championships contest.”
“The Muscular Body as Living Art†will be an excellent preview to NPC Southern States Fitness, Figure, Bikini & Bodybuilding Championships on July 10th and July 11th at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale. The NPC Southern States Fitness, Figure, Bikini & Bodybuilding Championships is the largest, regional national qualifier east of the Mississippi and includes teenage, adult and senior competitors (both men and women) from ten different states plus Puerto Rico.

Gallery Diet is pleased to announce Citygarden and Microscope, a two-person exhibition by Kristopher Benedict and Peter LaBier.
“Given the sobering adjustments one might expect following the world financial collapse, several weeks ago, New York Times film critic A.O. Scott posed the question ‘What kind of movies do we need now?’ His answer? What the people really need is… neo-realism. … Neo realist films, like other forms of realist art and literature, gain a sense of expository justice in showing ordinary, often boring, deviant or sometimes abject images…â€
For this exhibition, Benedict and LaBier have created a series of works that depict the mundane views, and objects of our everyday lives. In his extended exhibition text, Afterimages of the Everyday, Tom McGrath describes one of the title works, Microscope by saying, “It’s been a long time since science moved beyond what can be seen with the naked eye, and sometimes it feels like the artist got left behind in his studio with his brushes and a lousy microscope.â€
In art, the desire to turn toward something like “realism” in painting might have less to do with reality, and more to do with resolving some very abstract problems in the everyday.
Citygarden and Microscope will be on view at Gallery Diet from May 9th – June 6th, 2009 and will be accompanied by an extensive text written by Tom McGrath from which the quotes for this press release were taken.
About Diet:
Located at 174 NW 23 Street in Miami, Florida Diet represents five emerging and mid-career artists. Diet’s artist roster includes Brian Burkhardt, Charley Friedman, Richard Höglund, Abby Manock, and Daniel Milewski, whose work is exhibited alongside that of an invitational series of exhibitions by artists from around the world.

David Castillo Gallery: Gallery Projects
Alder Guerrier, Aramis Gutierrez, Quisqueya Henriquez, Susan Lee-Chun, Pepe Mar, Glexis Novoa, Javier Piñón, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Frances Trombly, Wendy Wischer
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami
May 9- July 31, 2009
Reception May 9, 7-10 pm
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Gallery Projects, a group show of new work by gallery artists Adler Guerrier, Aramis Gutierrez, Quisqueya Henriquez, Susan Lee-Chun, Pepe Mar, Glexis Novoa, Javier Piñón, Leyden Rodriguez- Casanova, Frances Trombly, and Wendy Wischer.
Glexis Novoa continues to develop a meticulous architecture in the realm of socio-political inquiry with a site-specific drawing for Gallery Projects. Novoa establishes a conduit to Pepe Mar’s site- specific installation of twisted multicolor fantasy, as Orwellian in its penchant for escapism as the brutality of Novoa’s lilliputian detail.
Dwelling in Novoa’s cityscape and illuminated by Mar’s Technicolor is the loss of innocence apparent, too, in the slippery circumstance of Aramis Gutierrez’s new oil on canvas. In At the Water Park, a pregnant couple fumbles to recapture the woman’s missing swimsuit top. The moment is one of greater disconnect similar to the everyday instances of racial and ethnic discrepancy elevated by Adler Guerrier as a black flâneur in his new work on paper.
Startling juxtapositions also exist as the pedestal of 1950’s beauty is shifted in a sinister collaboration between beauty and monstrosity in Javier Piñón’s Medusa collages, while Quisqueya Henriquez’s collages play with the perceived heightened masculinity of Latin cultures by manipulating symbolic male images.
The simplicity of everyday objects is reassessed through subtle alterations in Leyden Rodriguez- Casanova’s mirrored frame. Frances Trombly examines quality and function through painstaking precision to create the optical illusion of a seemingly typical rope, while Wendy Wischer constructs nature through the delicate skill of utilizing manufactured materials to create a moment of organic serenity. Susan Lee-Chun’s Susersize continues the artist’s theme of redefinition in creating a sculpture referencing exercise equipment and warping standard attention to structure.
David Castillo Gallery is proud to announce its participation at VOLTA5 Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland, June 2009. It also recognizes Leyden Rodriguez- Casanova, a Cintas Fellowship Finalist; as well as Susan Lee-Chun’s acceptance to the artist residency Three Walls in Chicago. In the Fall 2009, work by Aramis Gutierrez, Pepe Mar, and Glexis Novoa will be included in TIME + TEMP: Surveying the shifting climate of current painting in South Florida at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, FL. Work by Quisqueya Henriquez, Pepe Mar, and Javier Piñón will appear in a book of 21st century collage published in London; and Adler Guerrier’s monograph will be released by Miami’s [NAME] publications.

Bright Eyes
Directed by David Butler
USA/1934/83 minutes/B&W
This film is one of the reasons that Shirley Temple is still emblazoned in the minds of Americans today, as Bright Eyes is the film that first brought the song On the Good Ship Lollipop to Depression-era audiences across the country. (Although the song has nothing to do with a ship!) The film features a stand-out performance by Temple, in addition to superb character actors and a broad range of emotions. Shirley Temple’s work in this film earned her a special pint-sized Oscar®, and lasting fame as America’s sweetheart. Free admission.

CINTAS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES THE 2009 WILLIAM B. WARREN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN MUSIC COMPOSITION TO CUBAN COMPOSER AURELIO DE LA VEGA
The Cintas Foundation (www.cintasfoundation.org) will present the 2009 William B. Warren Lifetime Achievement Award in Music Composition to Cuban composer Aurelio de la Vega. The award is named after Cintas Foundation Chairman William B. Warren, who has led the foundation for the last 20 years as is its second president.
Aurelio de la Vega was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1925 and studied at the University of Havana (Ph.D. in Law), at the Conservatorio Ada Iglesias (Ph.D., Music Composition) and, independently, with Fritz Kramer (Havana) and Ernst Toch (Los Angeles). De la Vega settled in California in 1959 and became distinguished professor of Music and the director of the Electronic Music Studio at California State University, Northridge. His vast catalogue of works encompasses compositions in all media except opera. He has been very influential in the U.S. musical scene, promoting the contemporary classical music of Latin America. Throughout his teaching years and in the years since his retirement, de la Vega has been an active composer as well as a lecturer in the field of music. His list of compositions includes symphonic pieces, chamber music works, solo instrumental pieces, vocal works, piano, guitar and ballet music and electronic compositions. Major orchestras and prominent soloists throughout the world have performed his works. The composer has been the recipient of many prizes and distinctions, including the Friedheim Award of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which he has received twice. In 2000, de la Vega was honored by the Library of Congress when his graphic score, “The Magic Labyrinth,” was included in the library’s 733-page volume, “Music History from Primary Sources.” Among the music greats included with him were Bartók, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Gershwin, Handel, Liszt, Mahler, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Puccini, Stravinsky and Verdi.
“As one of the best known Cuban composers of his generation, Aurelio de la Vega offers a dramatic, intense and expressive musical style,” said Hortensia E. Sampedro, president of the Cintas Foundation in announcing the award. “We are pleased to recognize the Maestro for a career that spans more than 50 years and includes recognition from around the world and most recently a nomination for a Latin Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition for his piece Variación del Recuerdo (Variations of a Memory)”.
The award will be presented at a ceremony at the Frost Art Museum of Florida International University on May 20, 2009 at 7:00 pm. The public is invited.
About The Cintas Foundation

Since 1963, the Cintas Foundation has awarded more than 300 feelowships to artists of Cuban lineage who reside outside of Cuba. The first William B. Warren Lifetime Fellow in Music was granted to Bebo Valdes. Past music fellows have included Sergio Barroso, Mario Bauza (Known as the father of AfroCuban jazz), Jose Bernardo, Aldo Rafael Forte, Orlando Jacinto Garcia, Tania Leon and Julian Orbon, among many others.

What in the world is No Pants Day?
No Pants Day is a day where everyone, be they students, respectable businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind. Usually this means wearing thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts, but bloomers, slips, briefs, and boxer-briefs all work as well.

NETHERLAND
Artist/ gallery curator David “Netherland” van Alphen lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. Though David’s family was from Holland, he was born in Toronto, and has been in Chicago for the last eight years. Being a child of the 70’s has influenced him greatly and is reflected in most of his work. Juxtaposing images, his color choices and the new modern context comes through his nostalgic imagery and helps to isolate and enhance them. David has shown at many galleries throughout the U.S. and sold out his first solo show last January.
KEN BERNSTEIN
As a baby boomer growing up in the suburbs of Miami, the majority of my childhood was spent in front of a television. I sat on the Florida room floor with a fold out TV tray and a bowl of Cap’n Crunch as the only separation between myself and the television screen. My eye sockets were black holes providing the portal for the right side of my brain to absorb all energy and matter produced by the flicker fusion television transmission of Outer Limits, Adams Family, Star Trek, Man from Uncle, Invaders, Shindig, Batman, 77 Sunset Strip, Time Tunnel, Lost in Space and all the other cult status programing.
Due to long term exposure of the Television’s electro magnetic radiation, I mutated into a robotic space probe. The Voyager 1 of POP, speeding in a solar wind through interstellar space to gather information on popular culture.
Fortunately, I have some ability to translate my information to canvas utilizing the brilliant vivid colors of acrylics, so others can see and feel what I see and feel.
JASON SNYDER
Jason Robert Snyder spent most of his childhood on a farm in Pennsylvania, studying his surroundings and formulating ideas of the world around him. he began transferring his ideas through oil paint while attending the Pennsylvania State University as an Architectural Engineering student. completely self taught, through trial and error in the years since, he has developed his unique style and interpretation of reality to what it is today. in each one of his pieces, he uses vibrant
colors and distorted figures to convey one idea about the human spirit. currently, in addition to fine art, Jason is a custom framer at Carmen’s Gallery and Design Studio in Solomons, Maryland, as well as a freehand pinstriper. Jason resides in Solomons with his wife, Laura; his dog, Leia; and his ’53 Buick.

Adrienne Arsht Center For The Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County Introduces Its One-Millionth Patron To South Florida
Miami resident Toya LaRenn made Miami history on April 16, 2009 when she became the one-millionth patron to visit the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. Upon entering the Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House for that evening’s performance by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ms. LaRenn was notified of this milestone and invited to join M. John Richard, President and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center, in upgraded seats. She was also awarded a Supporting Level membership to the Adrienne Arsht Center and a subscription to the 2009-2010 RRA-Broadway Across America Miami series.
On April 20, Ms. LaRenn was introduced to the community during a special luncheon to announce the upcoming RRA-Broadway Across America series. Mr. Richard presented Ms. LaRenn with an oversized ticket commemorating her as the Center’s one-millionth guest.
“To think that we have welcomed one million people in such a short span speaks to the Adrienne Arsht Center’s extraordinary reach and broad-based community support,†said Mr. Richard. “Going forward, we are committed to driving new audiences to our diverse programs and events so as to unite South Florida through the performing arts. That
community spirit is what this Center was built for, and it’s what will drive our next million patrons through our doors.â€
Guests at the April 20th event were treated to a surprise performance by Montego Glover, who previously starred in the Broadway production of the hit musical The Color Purple. The luncheon also featured a sneak-preview of the 2009-2010 RRA-Broadway Across America Miami season, which will feature The Color Purple, October 27-November 1, 2009; 101 Dalmatians, December 30, 2009-January 3, 2010; Wicked, March 3-21, 2010; Mamma Mia!, March 30-April 4, 2010; and Spring Awakening, May 11-16, 2010. In addition to these hit musicals, the season will also include The Walworth Farce (November 4-7, 2009) and a dynamic performance by Broadway icon Brian Stokes Mitchell (December 12, 2009).

Miami Downtown Development Authority and the City of Miami Celebrate the Re-Opening of Paul S. Walker Park
Three New ‘Pocket Parks’ Make Downtown More Pedestrian-Friendly and Enhance Livability
WHAT: Miami Downtown Development Authority and the City of Miami hold dedication ceremony in celebration of Downtown’s newest green space, Paul S. Walker Urbanscape.
The re-opening of Paul S. Walker Urbanscape marks the culmination of three new “pocket parks†in Downtown’s Central Business District, which are part of the DDA’s larger beautification program to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment and improve the quality of life in Downtown.
The DDA invested more than $350,000 to restore these parks, introducing approximately 23,000 sq. ft. of green space into Downtown.
Immediately following the dedication, on-site samplings by neighboring restaurants will take place at Paul S. Walker Park. Entertainment and live music performances at each of the three new mini parks will liven up the lunch hour for all to enjoy.
WHO: Remarks will be made by Mayor Manny Diaz, Commissioner Joe Sanchez, Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, City Manager Pete Hernandez, and Miami DDA Executive Director Alyce Robertson, who will all speak to the impact that creating more green spaces will have to enhance the livability in Downtown.
WHEN: Tuesday, April 28th – Dedication Ceremony at Paul S. Walker Urbanscape @ 10 a.m.
Music and entertainment at all three parks until 1:30 p.m. (all within walking distance; map embedded below)
WHERE: Paul S. Walker Urbanscape (46 W. Flagler St.)
Thirty years ago, the original park space (named after former DDA board member and community leader) was leased by the City and replaced with a building that since became rundown and dilapidated.
Joan Lehman Sculpture Plaza (Flagler St. at SW 1st Ave)
Previously closed off to the public, the Joan Lehman Sculpture Plaza now features enhanced pedestrian access with park benches, meandering pathways, and newly planted trees.
Robert F. Clark Plaza (NW 1st Avenue and NW 1st Street)
Also once removed from the public right-of-way, this pocket park was restored and enhanced with pedestrian-friendly features.
Unfortunately, this show has been cancelled.

“Parlez-vous français ?”
Cabaret-Concert by French Artist Frederic STROUCK
The incredible adventure of a French teacher who decided to go and live his american dream. The evolution of his teenage point of view make him face today’s US reality … The tone is very humoristic and the show is based on a recital of French tunes that became worldwide hits (My way, Beyond the sea, What now my love, where do I begin, …)
General Admission: $15 / $10 for members
Frédéric Strouck’s career has been far from typical. After studying science and armed with a passion for lighting design, he began by studying cinema in view of becoming a director of photography. Simultaneously, he taught himself the piano and started composing his first songs. Increasingly interested by the relationship between music and dramatic art and the use of music in film and opera, the works of composers including Stephen Sondheim and Claude-Michel Schönberg inevitably led him to what was to become a passion for musical theatre.
Encouraged by a friend and never having considered himself as a singer, Frédéric auditioned for the 1996 production of FAME, played the part of Nick Piazza and went on to perform in shows including: PIAF JE T’AIME, HAIR, the German production of LES MISERABLES and spent five years with Jerome Savary’s company at the Opera Comique. During this time, he continued his career as a composer, writing various jingles and theme-tunes and in 2000, was commissioned by Pascal Pistone to orchestrate his contemporary musical PETER. With co-author Grégory Blot-Rudolph, he began to write and their first musical LES 7 PECHES CAPTEAUX based on a concept of song parodies in a super-market, was performed at the Gymnase Marie Bell theatre, Paris in May 2004. Following interest from television companies, Frédéric and Gregory were soon invited to adapt the show into what became SOAPERETTE, a series of short musical programs that were to invent a new kind of “fictional-variety†show! Directed by Gilles Amado, the series was aired on FOX-Life, NRJ12 and PLUG-RTL in 2007 and 2008. Working as actor, author and musical director on the show not only furthered Frédéric’s already multi-facetted career but also led to him being asked to direct Marie Orlandi’s performance as Piaf at the Olympia Theatre, Paris in July 2007.
Frédéric Strouck a un parcours artistique assez alambiqué. Après des études scientifiques, passionné par la lumière, il s’engage dans des études de cinéma dans le but de devenir directeur de la photographie. En parallèle, presque par bravade, il se met au piano et commence, en autodidacte, à composer ses premières chansons. Extrêmement intéressé par les rapports qu’entretiennent la musique et la dramaturgie, il va s’orienter vers les musiques qui sont au service d’une intrigue et les intrigues qui servent la musique (l’opéra, la musique de films,…) C’est assez naturellement qu’il découvre l’univers de la comédie musicale anglo-saxonne pour lequel il aura une attirance démesurée : associant la richesse d’univers musicaux des plus hétéroclites à une certaine forme d’emphase et un fort rapport à l’intrigue, il reçoit comme un éléctro-choc l’écoute des spectacles de Stephen Sondheim ou de Claude-Michel Schönberg. Poussé par une amie, il se décide, alors qu’il ne se considère pas comme un chanteur, à passer une audition pour le spectacle ” Fame ” en 1996, il sera engagé pour le rôle de Nick Piazza et enchainera alors en tant qu’interprète des spectacles comme ” Piaf, je t’aime “, ” Hair “, ” Les Misérables ” (en Allemagne), puis intégrera la troupe de Jérôme Savary à l’Opéra Comique pendant 5 ans. En parallèle, il poursuit son parcours de compositeur en écrivant quelques génériques et jingles pour la radio et se met à l’orchestration symphonique sur la commande d’arrangements de Pascal Pistone et de sa comédie musicale contemporaine ” Peter ” en 2000. Il se lance alors dans l’écriture et c’est avec son co-auteur complice Grégory Blot-Rudolph qu’il accouche du spectacle musical ” Les 7 Péchés Capitaux ” qui sera joué au théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell à paris en Mai 2004. Le concept du spectacle qui repose sur la contextualisation de parodies de chanson dans une intrigue sous forme de huis clos dans un supermarché intéresse alors la télévision. Avec Grégory, il adapte le concept de leur pièce pour créer ” Soaperette “. Ce programme court musical qui invente la ” variété-fiction ” sera réalisé par Gilles Amado et diffusé courant 2007/2008 sur les chaines FOX-Life, NRJ12, et PLUG-RTL. Cette expérience multiplie encore ses casquettes en le faisant travailler en tant qu’auteur, interprète, mais lui demande également de gérer l’artistique et la direction musicale. On lui propose alors de diriger Marie Orlandi dans son interprétation de Piaf sur la scène de l’Olympia en Juillet 2007.

Saturday 4/25/2009 – The Vagabond presents The Gospel According to The Godfathers of House Music featuring FRANKIE KNUCKLES
As one of the most renowned DJ’s in the world, Frankie Knuckles has been packing dance floors with his unique style for almost 30 years. Penned “The Godfather of House”, he has played a pivotal role in the creation and evolution of ‘House’ music. As a Producer and Re-mixer, he has lent his talents to some of R&B and Pop music’s elite. Artists such as Mary J. Blige, Sounds of Blackness, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Luther Vandross and Toni Braxton. Frankie’s production and mixing career was officially recognized by the music industry in 1997. He became the first recipient of a Grammy for “Re-mixer of The Year” and has served as a Governor and Trustee for the NYC chapter of The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. On August 25th, 2004 the Mayor of Chicago proclaimed that date “Frankie Knuckles Day” and honored him with a street named “Frankie Knuckles Way”. Perpetually on the forefront of dance music, Frankie’s latest remixes of Hercules and Love Affair’s “Blind” and Depeche Mode’s “Wrong” has energized a new generation of dance floor devotees worldwide.

Can you please forward this to all your friends? This is for a Relay in West Kendall, is this Friday.
Check it out, the committee is made of about a dozen High School Kids (I worked with them) they have worked really really hard for the past six months on this event (even when they have final exams & fcats soon and they are doing an amazing job with this event).
I want to invite people to go and support them. Walk a lap with them and check out the Luminaria Ceremony (there they’ll light candles for those that lost their fight and those that survived this decease) and show them how important is to help out in the community and to support each other.
Why do I Relay?
I participate in Relay For Life because i have lost my grandfather in December 2008 from brain cancer after fighting other types of cancers for 6 years.
I relay because family friends were not able to fight the battle.
I relay because i don’t want to lose anymore loved ones.
I relay because i have friends who have lost loved ones.
I relay because i have friends with family who are currently battling cancer.
I relay because i know people who are currently fighting cancer.
I relay because i want to find the cure.
I relay because i care.
I relay because i am tired of having cancer take over innocent lives.
I relay because i need to spread the word.
We, the lakes of the meadow committee, relay because we want to play our part in fighting cancer, we want to make an event where we can promote awareness.
In the U.S men have a slightly less than a 1 in 2 lifetime risk of developing cancer: for women, the risk is a little more than 1 in 3. An average of 1.4 million people are diagnosed with cancer YEARLY, and statistics raise yearly. Florida is the second state with the largest amount of people diagnosed with cancer, at about 106,560 people yearly. so please come out to: LAKES OF THE MEADOW RELAY FOR LIFE !
located at 4450 S.W. 152 AVENUE (Bird & 152 Ave – Lakes of the Meadow Club House)
on APRIL 24TH – 25TH from 6PM TO 6AM
Overnight events symbolize:
-Cancer Never Stops.
-When a person is diagnosed with Cancer, their world crashes, it turns dark.
But then they find hope, which is when the sunrises.
The event is very symbolic, and surprisingly enough, very actively fun.
Please don’t hesitate to ask me or the LOTM committee any questions.
Visit our website: www.relayforlife.org/lakesofthemeadowfl
Join a team, create a team, donate or sign up as a volunteer and attend the event.

BOARD UP™ is an action sports and entertainment event created by Miami Sports International (MSI) since 2006. BOARD UP™ was designed for television and to provide a festival atmosphere for spectators of all ages. BOARD UP™ got its start in Miami , known as the gateway to Latin America, and home to a multi-cultural community that features Hispanic Americans, the nation’s largest minority group; Miami is also a sports, fashion and entertainment breeding ground, and it is the ideal destination to host BOARD UP™. BOARD UP™ will be visiting a city near you soon.
MSI has prepared an innovative event for the action sport industry, and will add a concert act as a sideshow to the wakeboard Pro-Am. The event will be fully sanctioned by the USA Wakeboard Association, the sport’s governing body. An amateur tournament is offered in order to provide an unparalleled opportunity for the sport to continue to grow. In 2008, Miami played host to the Pan American Wakeboard Championships preceding the BOARD UP™ Pro Am. The Board Up crew will play host to the US OPEN of Wakeboarding in 2009.

Kyle Crossland
Kyle CrosslandÕs music has recently been drawing the attention of students from the University of Miami. As a student singer-songwriter from the university, KyleÕs acoustic-rock style has been compared to that of John Mayer and Jack Johnson. His energetic performances and catchy up-beat songs are almost magnetic to whoever happens to be listening. From a young age, Kyle knew that somehow his life needed to incorporate music. He has been singing for as long as he can remember, and growing-up he idolized artists like James Taylor and the Beach Boys. His love for singing brought him to Dr. Phiillips a Magnet High School which focused on choral studies. It was in his junior year of high school when Kyle first picked up a guitar and started writing songs.
The KeyRats, Key Biscayne`s finest
On December 31, 2003, The Keyrats had been commissioned to play for a crowd approaching 1,000 people from the balcony of a Key Biscayne residence overlooking the Miami bay. The performance was a success, and shortly thereafter The Keyrats began receiving phone calls from local promoters interested in booking the band. Since then, The Keyrats have played at multiple popular venues in Miami including Oxygen Lounge, Bolero, Honey, Bayside Hut, Transit Lounge, Flavour, Grove Isle, CefaloÕs and the University of Miami. Other notable venues include Jewells, Boardwalk Tavern, B.E.D., and MiamiÕs Mega Club, Mansion. The Keyrats have evolved into a dynamic four piece band consisting of drums, bass, guitars and two vocalists. On some nights they even feature special guests on the keyboard, timbales, saxophone, and a trombone/Trumpet horn section.

Third time was the charm for North Carolina native Adam Fields at Board Up™ Miami, South Florida’s premiere wakeboard festival April 23-25, 2009 in Miami, FL. In a mild upset with an exciting finish, amid mildly windy condition, Fields bested the final field of 10 professional and amateur riders to win the men’s crown at the fourth annual wakeboard festival. Over 60 amateur riders entered the pro-am competition itching for a chance to take on nearly 20 pro men and women wakeboarders and a chance at a combined prize purse of over $10,000.
An international group of riders that featured three Aussies and two Kiwis (from New Zealand) provided excitement from the preliminaries, including Daniel Watkins, who finished fourth, but closed out his opening round ride with a rail slide along the starting dock, and move that wasn’t scored, but certainly thrilled the crowd.
A crowd of 4,000 witnessed the final runs on both the pro men and pro women side, with the final results featuring Adam Fields as champion in his third appearance at the event defeating Dean Smith (2nd overall), and Jeff Weatherall (3rd overall). On the women’s side, as was expected, it was a case of sibling rivalry, just like tennis has the Williams’ sisters consistently vying for titles, wakeboarding has the Hoffman’s, and at this year’s Board Up™ Miami, big sister Raequel still had a few more tricks than her younger sibling Shawna who finished . Tennessee native Corrie Dyer finished 3rd.
Inclusive of this year’s festival was a nearly 4,000 square foot skate park that featured the Assailant and Amaxon Clothing best trick contest where Miami local D’Andre Pendergrass took home the $500 cash prize.
The festival atmosphere was in full effect with live musical performances by Kyle Crossland, The Key Rats, Streetkind, and headliner Araka, all of whom rocked the crowd. There was certainly some dazzle with two swim suit fashion shows that featured the girls from The House of Jackie Brown, and the girls of microkitten.com, me-ow!
For the participant sporting event enthusiast, Saturday morning kicked off the day with the Nike Swim Miami, an open water swimming competition that had over 700 athletes competing in a 10K (the swim marathon), 5K, and mile swim that saw among others, multiple time USA Olympian and 8-time Olympic medalist Gary Hall Jr compete in the mile. Israeli National Team Member, Michael Demetriev was the overall 10K swim champion in a blazing time of 2 hours and 2 minutes.
For additional information and complete results visit the event website @ www.boardup.net (for wakeboarding) and www.miamisportsinternational.com (for the open water swim)
