29Next Week’s In-Store Events
posted by LoloAnother great week of in-stores coming up, try to come out to a couple of these! They are all free or cheap because we love you.
Monday, November 2nd: Movie Mondays presents a screening of Hedwig and the Angry Inch! Hedwig is one of the best music movies of our generation, and last week’s in-store with Jay Brannan reminded us how much we love John Cameron Mitchell… Seating at 8pm, film at 8.30. (Fear not, the Mighty Boosh-a-thons will continue with Season 2 on Monday, 11/23)
Tuesday, November 3rd: All the way from Brooklyn the “November 2009 Homeland Tour” brings pop punk group THE HOMEWRECKERS to Miami (featuring Miami ex-pat and zine/graphic illustrator Cristy C. Roads)! Listen at myspace.com/wewreckhomes. Not only that, but joining them on the bill is a special appearance by Jose El Rey & The Love Doctors of Sexy!
Thursday, November 5th: NYC singer-songwriter-ukulele-master EMILYN BRODSKY rolls into town for a set at Sweat! Her album, Greatest Tits, was produced by Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls and she’s opened for the likes of The Gossip, The Magnetic Fields, The Decemberists, The Hold Steady, Against Me!, Kimya Dawson, Ani and more. Listen here to her “cupcake punk” and come see her next Thursday night!
Saturday, November 7th: By popular demand, we’re going to be hosting a vegan potluck at Sweat followed by a live performance by JESSE JACKSON! Potlucks are an awesome way to meet new people, trade recipes, and eat lots of delicious food. Bring a dish to share (8 or more servings) made without dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin and hydrogenated chemical stuffs, or simply pay $7 at the door to eat your heart out. If you need ideas of what to make, there are literally thousands of great recipes on the internet so look around for some inspiration! After the potluck, Miami’s own talented troubadour Jesse Jackson takes the Sweat stage for what will surely be a fantastic show.
Hope to see you around!

24Monday Night BOOSH
posted by LoloThis Movie Monday, come out for BOOSH-A-THON #1! In case you live in a musty sea cave somewhere, The Mighty Boosh is a UK comedy written by and starring Julian Barrat and Noel Fielding as jazz maverick Howard Moon and king of the mods Vince Noir, respectively.
In Season 1 they work in a dilapidated zoo with shaman/gift shop manager Naboo and his gorilla familiar Bollo. We’re huge Boosh fans over here as the show is trippy and hilarious with most excellent musical references.
It’s free so come out Monday night and dive headfirst into the BOOSH!
