New sweat weekend

Tonight

• Opens the new Sweat Records, with a big party at Churchill’s (next door). Million bands, and of course cupcakes. To not miss.
• The Miami International Short Film Festival, all weekend.
• Viernes Culturales/Cultural Fridays.
• 1800’s style live music and dance workshops at the Barnacle, 6 – 10 pm.
• Ira Sullivan does Jazz at MoCA.
• Please by all means spend $128 to $481 per ticket to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, starring the Rockettes, and call me a fool for thinking it’s stupid without seeing it. Broward Center.
• Anime Supercon, all weekend long, only in Ft. Lauderdale.

Saturday

• First chance to see Work in Progress: Herzog & de Meuron’s Miami Art Museum. We get it, it’s a work in progress. But this is a big deal. 10 am to noon is for MAM members, then let in the hordes (although with new $8 admission, you might to look into getting a membership for yourself).
• Rag Trade’s Kraftworks 3, y’all.
• Louines Louinis Haitian Dance Theatre: An Evening of Haitian Folk Dances. 8 pm.
• Ballet mécanique at the Wolfsonian. Beautiful invitations went out on this, but nothing on the web. $85 a ticket, I think, but call them to be sure, and RSVP: 305.535.2631.
• Fake Pink Floyd at the Fillmore.
• I’m so Stereo all girl party at PS14.

Sunday

• Overtown Walking Tour and People’s Bar-B-Que Lunch, noon.
• First Sunday of each month is some sort of Bluegrass Jam at the North Miami Ives Optimist Club Building, 1 – 5 pm. Worth a checkout?

   you forgot a really cool performance of avant gaurde classical music at the Lincoln Theatre …only 10 bucks…

   Iannis Xenakis’ Persephassa, Alejandro Viñao’s Estudios de Frontera, and George Antheil’s Ballet mécanique….
   it is connected with that wolfsonian thing you mentioned on saturday…“Ballet mécanique:http://antheil.org/ at the Wolfsonian. “

   Catch: free sundays = OVER.

   That’s part of the (admittedly brilliant) strategy: kill the free days (Except for the second saturday, which is overrun I assume, with actual families, as in hordes of little kids), increase the ticket prices, and push membership like crazy (keeping THAT the same price, which is IMO the real masterstroke part of the scheme).

   Your Filmore link failed. I went to the concert anyway. (And AussieFloyd has its own website.) Excellent show if you like Pink Floyd (and who doesn’t?).

   Yes . . . the “Australian Pink Floyd.” I love that. As opposed, I suppose, to “English Pink Floyd,” which I hear is also pretty good. They’re very similar, right?

   Very similar indeed. Song for song, note for note. Even the lights and other visuals. Even without massive infusion of psychotropic substances (except tequila).
