    End Of The Line Screening Monday

    posted by Lolo

    This Monday Sweat is proud to present an official South Florida screening of award-winning documentary END OF THE LINE.

    The movie tackles the dangers of our current unsustainable level of fishing (ie scientists predicting a global end to seafood by 2048).  It has been seen by hundreds of thousands worldwide and is accompanied by a campaign promoting the responsible use of our ocean’s resources.  Full information, including how to find out if the seafood you eat is sustainable, can be found here on the film’s site.

    Watch the trailer below and come out tonight!  We’ve got stickers, pins and other goodies to give away as well.  No cover, seating at 8, film at 8.30.

    Get Crafty (Or Bookish) Tonight

    posted by Lolo

    Hey Sweaters, whether you like to work with your hands or dig into a good book, there’s something for you tonight!

    We don’t have a fancy graphic or anything yet but tonight will be the first night of Sweat’s open crafting sessions! Knitting instructor extraordinaire Renee will lead the way – basically if you can tie your shoe she can teach you how to purl with the best of ‘em, and she’ll have some supplies for sale if you happen to need a needle. Feel free to bring anything else you might want to work on too – sketchbooks, jewelry making, anything goes! I do cross-stitch and embroidery myself and brought a few how-to books along for that.

    We’re trying it out every Tuesday night except for second Tuesdays (because that’s Casa De Ha-Ha of course!) from 7pm to 9 or 10.

    Also tonight is the monthly meeting of the Black Umbrella Book Club at AE District!  They’ve been reading “Lark And Termite” by Jayne Anne Phillips so come out for literary discussion, food from Pasha’s and Bustelo galore.  Click the flier below to join the BUBC group on Facebook.

    Tonight: Wet Hot + Thursday: Nowhere

    posted by Lolo

    This week at Sweat we’ve got two ridiculously great, FREE movie screenings for your viewing pleasure…

    This Movie Monday, we’ll be playing 2001 cult comedy classic WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER!  Directed by The State alum David Wain, it featuring several of the cast members, along with hilarious performances by Janeane Garofalo, Chris Meloni and more.  It’s the store of the last day of summer camp in the ’80s and anything can and does happen as the campers and counselors look to hook up and make it to the big talent show.  Wear your tube socks and come to Sweat at 8pm.

    Then on Thursday evening, we’re excited to bring you a screening of super hard-to-find 1997 cult flick NOWHERE by director Gregg Araki!  It’s the third part of his “Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy” (after Doom Generation) and features tons of Hollywood notables before they were famous.  Also like all Araki films, the soundtrack is amazing.  Read more in the New Times and come out!  No cover, starts at 8pm.
