Shady weekend

RSVP and advance purchase tickets: 305.535.2645 or rsvp@thewolf.fiu.edu. $10 Wolfsonian and MDPL members and students; $20 all others. Tour begins at the Art Deco Welcome Center, 1001 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach.
• The Miami International Film Festival is in full swing. Anyone seen anything good?

I’m out of town, and the last few days worth of posts have all been pre-recorded (what kottke calls time-stamp fraud ). Can you tell? Whatever: please add whatever may be going on this weekend in the comments.

   The Langerado Music Festival in Broward. More info: http://www.langerado.com/

   This info comes to me courtesy of Dave at www.lebostudios.com. I’ve never been to the festival, but it looks like it could be fun!

   The film festival has been very good. I’m wiped from running from work to the films almost everyday! My top pick so far has been “Yo Soy Boricua Pa’que tu lo Sabes.” It’s a documentary by Rosie Perez. The film basically details her own investigation into her Puerto Rican history. She’s funny and “real” throughout the film.
   The showing at the Colony was actually the world premiere- pretty impressive – and she was there along with some family and co-director.
   The theater was full to capacity.

   I hope I didn’t mess anyone up by saying “tomorrow” for the Calle Ocho festival (meaning Saturday), since it was Sunday, March 12. Oops!

   You know, I don’t know what is going on with the movie industry, but when I went to Lincoln road this weekend it was a ghost town. Lincoln Road was overrun with people mind you.
