Park(ing) weekend
Tonight
- Today is National Park(ing) day . . . this started in 2005 when a few artists in San Francisco turned a parking space into a temporary park. Since then, it’s been a yearly thing on September 21, replicated around the country, including two locations in Miami, with support from the Trust for Public Land. U: More about PARKing day at TransitMiami.
- CIFO’s Positions in Context opening reception.
- Samantha Natalie does Miami Unsigned [MySpace all around].
- I try to stay away from flamenco-jazz fusion, but this show has lots of promise, actually.
- Marqui Adora at Circa 28.
- Yom Kippur begins at sundown. Eat a big meal in the afternoon, as you’ll have to last until nightfall Saturday. During that period, also: no leather shoes, no sex, no washing(!), and no lotions/perfumes. (That’s unless you think religion is silly.)
Saturday
- Miami Short Film Festival Preview at Miami Beach Cinematheque.
- High School Musical: the Ice tour [obnoxious Flash] at AAA. No idea what the appeal of the whole “X on ice” thing is.
- Israel ‘Cachao’ Lopez. Drop what you’re doing.
- A Night in the Clouds charity party for African children, in an old-school place.
- Lanzallamas Monofonica at Transit Lounge.
Sunday
- The ESCAPE TO MIAMI TRIATHLON.
- I haven’t posted about the Rufino Tamayo: A Modern Icon Reinterpreted exhibition at MAM because the museum didn’t have rights to let me reproduce the piece I wanted to talk about. But the show is completely worthy (and, note to Franklin: a painting show at the MAM), and if you haven’t seen it, today’s your last chance.
- Fanfare for the 20th at New World Symphony, if you grabbed tickets in time.
- The South Beach Chamber Ensemble plays at the Bass Museum at 2pm. Free with museum admission; anybody know what’s up?
- The South Florida Meditation meetup at 4 pm. Get your OM on.
- These people might have something interesting going on, but you’ll have to call them and ask them to put it on their website.

I think the CIFO opening was last night.
If you are fasting on Saturday, do not eat a big meal the night before. You’re stomach will streach and you will be more hungry than if you had a normal meal the night before.
I love the PARK idea.
I’ll mark my calendar for next year….or go crazy and talk folks in the Grove into doing it another day in the near future.
I love Tamayo’s work but, I’ll miss it. I’ve been so busy lately I’ve had no time. I’ll try and get some new shots of my hidden away location to share. :-)
Every time I’ve been to CIFO it’s been closed. :-(
