The Hoxton, DJ PRIDE, Tony Ferro & The Penny Back Boyz formally invite you on Sunday, May 26th to a night of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. A night of…

“SWANK”

What’s swankier than an upscale urban beach house in the middle of Miami’s financial district? How about an urban beach house filled with the sounds of DJ Pride and a slew of local gay and straight scenesters?

DJ La Trice Perry sets the mood for you early on in the night as you choose from a wide selection of signature libations and delectable creations from the kitchen. A perfectly swanky way to start your evening.

Once you’ve filled your belly and the bubbly has you feeling posh…

DJ Pride serves a second course of decadent beats to fill your ears, as you refill your glass with a signature HOXTON cocktail. Music will be playing all through the beach house and you are free to dance, mingle, or find a secluded couch for you and your gang to enjoy the ambiance.

Who needs swag, when you have SWANK.

Sound Theory Live to Relaunch on Wynwood Radio May 10
Award-winning music program celebrates return at The Stage Miami

After four years of broadcasting on local jazz station WDNA, the musical performance and interview program Sound Theory Live has found a new home: Wynwood Radio.

“We’re excited about resuming Sound Theory Live with our new media partners Wynwood Radio and look forward to bringing the global listening public even more compelling programming and music,” says founder and host Carlos F. Garcia, who also owns the show’s brick and mortar venue, The Stage Miami. “We invite everyone to celebrate with us at The Stage on Friday, May 10th, 2013 beginning at 7 p.m. for an extended two-hour show or listen in on the web. Following the show, Wynwood Radio will continue to stream live from The Stage with acts and DJs throughout the night.”

Adds Wynwood Radio’s Vice President and Director Vicente Solis: “We are delighted to be Sound Theory Live’s new home and media partners. Carlos and his team have many positive liaisons with the different Miami musical scenes. We believe that his show, in an online radio environment, can thrive, become more agile, fun and can also enhance the opportunity for community expansion that Wynwood Radio nurtures as part of its DNA.”

The move to web won’t change the show format, which according to the program website is “geared towards promoting the great local musicians by showcasing their talents live on the radio.” It will allow for greater content freedom and a looser format not beholden to news updates and public service announcements. Garcia adds: “The show expects to have increased flexibility both in programming and in location. We hope to bring the show to venues and events all over South Florida to help continue moving the Miami music scene forward!”

Once again the show will feature Garcia, voted Miami New Times’ “Best FM Radio Personality” in 2010, as the host, with the assistance of co-hosts Sasha Torres, co-owner of The Stage, venue booking agent Eric Garcia and show veteran, Andrea Alarcon.

Slated to play live and be interviewed on the maiden Wynwood Radio webcast are: Afrobeta, Electric Piquete, Brendan O’Hara, Radioboxer, Humbert, The Problem Kids, Bachaco as well as veteran Miami DJs DJ Sire Esq., DJ Manuvers and many more. There are some surprise guests in store as well. The festivities and webcast commence May 10 at 7 p.m., during the show’s usual slot and time, and will continue through 9 p.m. Subsequently, Sound Theory Live will assume it’s regularly scheduled time on Wynwood Radio and be webcast from locations across South Florida and re-aired on Sunday afternoons, and potentially during other days and times.

Admission to the event at The Stage is free until 11 p.m. and $5 thereafter; enjoy 2-for-1 happy hour drink specials from 6 to 9 p.m. and other specials throughout the night. You can listen live on the web by navigating to www.wynwoodradio.com.

After graduating from the University of Miami with a major in Entrepreneurship, Skinny immediately focused his energy towards his passion for electronic dance music. While attending Scratch DJ Academy, his natural talent behind the turntables instantly garnered attention from his professors and colleagues. He then took to the road on a festival-hopping journey that culminated in an epic DJ set on stage at Bonnaroo. Now back in Miami, the buzz around Skinny Hendrix continues to swell each time he spins for a new crowd.

WARP9

Warp 9’s obsession with sound began a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It has since evolved through several different phases, taking many turns over the light years as they have shared in all sorts of musical adventures. Finally landing in Miami, Warp9 has united forces to decode the information beamed here from a distant star and deliver it to you through their music: spaced-out grooves served with a dose of galactic funk that will navigate you into uncharted territories.

Warp9 consists of Adam, a multi-instrumentalist and graduate from Berklee College of Music; and Jeff, an experienced controllerist and veteran DJ of over 12 years. When performing live, they incorporate a unique blend of live guitars, synths, DSP and DJ’ing. Warp9 has just released their first EP on JPod The Beat Chef’s label “Swing Set Sounds”. Stay Tuned!

The Raleigh hotel
1775 Collins Ave.
Miami Beach
Tickets are available for purchase online at www.mourningfamilyfoudation.org , or by contacting Tiffany Dallas at (786) 539-5881

Mourning Family Foundation, a not-for-profit organization supporting youth development and education programs, including Overtown Youth Center and Honey Shine Mentoring Program, today announced the launch of its first annual gourmet get down, “Wings & Wine.” The inaugural event takes place on the eve of the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) in collaboration with Bobby Deen, bestselling author and host of the Cooking Channel show, Not My Mama’s Meals. The exclusive dinner and networking event takes place at 8 p.m. Wednesday, February 20, at The Raleigh hotel located at 1775 Collins Ave, Miami Beach. The fundraising event features a decadent Southern-style menu, designed by the celebrity chef in conjunction with the Chef de Cuisine at The Raleigh, Daniel Ganem, and features entertainment by Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and actress, Jill Scott.

The Southern-style menu includes traditional favorites cooked and prepared with a low-cal spin. Guests will also enjoy a variety of chicken wing flavors and options – kabob-style, boneless, make your own sauce, and more! To wash it all down, there will be a bottomless array of wines from Nickel & Nickel Single Vineyard Wines, and cocktails provided by Chambord Vodka and Jack Daniels Honey.

After the success of her last album, Light of The Sun, Jill Scott has been touring and preparing for the release of the FOX feature film “Baggage Claim,” in which she stars. The film is scheduled for release in Fall 2013.

Earlier this month, Bobby Dean released a new cookbook, “From Mama’s Table to Mine: Everybody’s Favorite Comfort Foods at 350 Calories or Less.” Several of the menu options featured at Wings & Wine were inspired by this book. Currently, the celebrity television chef is touring the U.S. for the launch of his newest book.

Since 1997, the Mourning Family Foundation, formerly Alonzo Mourning Charities, has served as hosts to fundraising events and galas in South Florida to advocate and empower underprivileged families and children through educational programs and resources. Together, Tracy and Alonzo Mourning have raised more than $10 million for their charity initiatives, including, Overtown Youth Center, a state-of-the-art facility that serves as a safe haven for children and families to participate in recreational and educational activities from 2nd grade through graduation, and Honey Shine Mentoring Program, which provides at-risk young women with positive role models and influences through its enrichment programs, workshops, camps and sisterhood. The addition of this annual event further supports the Mourning’s goal of creating a better tomorrow by investing in the youth of today.

Photographs from PULSE 2.0: Late Night at the New World Symphony

by Ari Kane (@Aricurian) & Daniella Veras (@DaniellaVeras & @_DaniMiami)

Pulse is a once-a-year cross-genre event at the New World Center.  Pulse 2.0 featured Miami-based DJ Sean Drake who joined the New World Symphony for an amazingly unique musical night. Pulse also featured a vocalist for the first time – world renowned-native Miami soprano Elaine Alvarez, her celestial voice reverberated throughout the adoring crowd   The event was designed to integrate contemporary classical music with electronic music into an evening-long presentation to help attract new audiences to the art form. Mission accomplished, Pulse.  The crowd was an eclectic mix of Miami socialites, icons, art fanciers, musicians and music lovers.

DJ Sean Drake was spinning lounge music in between the two sets of classical music, the first which featured music by American composers, and the second by Latin-American composers. The night  concluded with DJ Drake’s last set—an surreal dance party in the main performance hall.  It was a blast and a half! Definitely looking forward to Pulse 3.0.

On Friday, February 8, 2013, Miami International Film Festival (MIFF), produced and presented by Miami Dade College, will highlight its 30th anniversary celebrations with a “cast reunion” and screening of a film from 1995’s festival, Miami Rhapsody, directed by David Frankel, as part of  MIFF’s month-long Countdown Retrospective series.

Special guests include cast members Sarah Jessica Parker, Jeremy Piven and Carla Gugino, who will join Director David Frankel for the evening, which will begin with a 35mm screening of Miami Rhapsody at 7 p.m. After the screening, the “Cast Reunion” will continue with a party at The Coral Gables Country Club at 9 p.m.

Miami Rhapsody is a clever romantic comedy set in Miami about the infinite perils, and possibilities, of marriage in the mid-nineties. Director David Frankel, who also penned the screenplay, follows in the footsteps of Woody Allen in using introspective dialogue to detail the romantic troubles of a wealthy, neurotic Jewish family.

The party will be produced by Toronto-based Liberty Entertainment Group, one of Canada’s top nightlife and entertainment companies, who has been responsible for many Toronto International Film Festival gala parties for the past 15 years. Guests will be able to enjoy cocktails courtesy of Bacardi, as well as champagne provided by Premiere.

The evening is part of MIFF’s mission to celebrate and commemorate its 30th Anniversary with a Countdown Retrospective that begins Saturday, January 26, 2013. Each night leading up to the festival, a film from MIFF’s past will be screened at MDC’s Tower Theater.

Photographs Venue Magazine Cover Launch Party at The Hoxton

So after the lovely engagement party, fundraiser celebrating Barcardi heir Gian Luis Barcardi and his lovely fiancee Kazandra Vega, we swung by The Hoxton (formerly Lucky Clover) to join in on the fun and festivities at Venue Magazine’s Cover Launch Party. The site has been transformed from Irish Pub  to swanky Hampton’s Beach House.  Beautiful people were abound, including my favorite housewife and Executive Editor for Venue Magazine, Alexia Echevarria. She is always so warm and friendly every single time I’ve seen seen her.  Enjoy the images and hope to see you around town…

Photographs by Bob Quesada from wine tasting at XIXON on 12/19/12

You put together about thirty four of the best Spanish wines, serve them in the best Spanish restaurant, bring in aged Manchego cheese, add Jamón Ibérico-“A gastronomic Jewel” (more on that in a minute),  get the Web City Girls to promote it …and you end up with: “Navidad a la Española” or “Christmas Spanish Style”.

Xixón  at 2101 Coral Way in Miami, was the place to be this past Wednesday as a few hundred people gathered to celebrate the Holidays by participating in a wine tasting incorporating live music,social media, raffles, contests and giveaways.

The restaurant, named after the Asturias region of Spain called Gijón, also offered Jamón Ibérico which is ham, made from the black footed, free range, acorn fed pig from the Salamanca region of Spain. The ham is cured for up to 48 months. The flavor is indescribable. If you thought that ham had too much cholesterol, consider this: Because of the pig’s diet of acorns, much of the fat is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. Just try it.

If it is any indication of just how good this party was, let’s just say that twitter is still buzzing 24 hours after the event.

As I was enjoying the evening festivities, sampling an awesome Ribera del Duero Reserva, Lidia Hernandez who does the PR for the restaurant came by smiled and said in Spanish: ”…well…you can’t complaint… great wine, great cheese and great ham…” to which I answered: “ You are right…from here to heaven…” then I remembered the rumor: the world ends this Friday… hmmm I better eat some more and get some more wine… just in case.

For a list of the wines please scroll past the photos.

Incan delights, entertainment, and art crafts all enjoyed at Taste of Peru By Betty Alvarez

Taste of Peru’s 3rd Gastronomic Festival definitely gets better every year and this year is no exception. The festival featured more than 100 exhibitors, restaurants, food and beverage providers, hotel, tourism, fashion, arts & crafts, jewelry and real estate from this Incan country. The food is what really brought to me. Not only that the Peruvian South Florida restaurants were present but also restaurants from Peru itself came to this yearly event.

Other than the traditional ceviche, other peruvian delights were Lomo Saltado (chunks of meat, onions, and french fries) served alongside white rice. Aji de Gallina was another favorite consisting of shredded chicken with Peru’s finest yellow sauce complimented with white rice, Arroz Chaufa (Peruvian Chinese rice), Rocoto Relleno (Peru’s hot pepper filled with chicken or meat), Causa (made with potatoes and chicken or tuna), Anticuchos (beef hearts skewers), and for dessert none other than the Picarones (Peruvian doughnuts). Oh my goodness! The tastiness, the crunchiness, the savory food is what I really enjoyed.

At night, guests enjoyed “Noche de Jarana” an after hours party Peruvian style where music by many Peruvian groups and some of the restaurant booths stayed open and the Pisco Sours kept on flowing. The Peruvian Paso Horse show was very entertaining as the “Chalan” Peruvian cowboy delighted the crowd as the horses “danced” with a particular Peruvian folkloric dancer.

It was such a good event and I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to next year as it will be an even better one!!

3000 Florida avenue
Coconut Grove, Florida

Valet parking is available at the Mayfair hotel $5.

The Lampidis Foundation will be hosting their first fundraiser," Feed a Fever- Starve a Tumor"

Signature cocktails, tapas, great raffle prizes, auction items and wonderful parting gifts for the ladies
This fund raising event not only will be raising money for research, it also raises awareness to   ensure the continuity of Dr. Lampidis’ groundbreaking research effort for the good of mankind.

At this critical point, The Lampidis Foundation need to build a fund of $6 million that will support Dr. Lampidis research laboratory over the next ten years and to raise another $4 million to $6 million to bring these findings to clinical trial and eventually to production and direct delivery to patients.

Theodore Lampidis,Ph.D has devoted his scientific life to understanding the complexities of tumor cell biology and the mechanisms by which cancers become resistant to treatment  in hope of finding a common trait among all tumors that will allow for universal targeted treatment.  His years of scrupulous work have paid off; he has identified a metabolic process that is common to all tumors and he is working with his colleagues to develop treatment delivery methods. 

The overall goal of Dr. Lampidis’ work is to provide the preclinical data required to expand the clinical application of 2-DG from solely using it to kill the cells found in the hypoxic regions of solid tumors to targeting the entire tumor regardless of its environmental conditions, i.e. oxygen levels. The broader significance of his ideas is to use 2-DG to directly take advantage of selective glucose uptake in tumor vs. normal tissues, which presents the long-sought-after possibility of attacking a fundamental target common to all tumors.
 
  Dr. Lampidis illustrates the idea behind his work with the ease of a practiced teacher:  "This works just like the Atkins diet.  When you lower carbohydrates, you burn fats and proteins.  When you remove oxygen, these hard-to treat tumor cells cannot burn fats or proteins; blocking sugar metabolism with 2-DG  literally starves them to death."

Considered Miami’s Oldest Bar, The Road has survived 10 decades of change: within it’s historic walls, and through the many adaptations of the neighborhood.  As Tobacco Road turns 100, it witnesses the biggest change yet; thousands of acres of open bulldozed land on 3 sides, and construction just beginning for what will be the towering Brikell CitiCenter, it’s anyone’s guess what lies in store for the Road and the neighborhood it’s called home for 100 years.  Tobacco Road has been many things; from a prohibition speakeasy hideout for Al Capone, a desolate working-man’s watering hole during the great depression, a stark salon with a country at War, threatened by many deadly hurricanes, ground-zero for race-riots, cocaine cowboys, and a big brother to the rise and fall and rise of South Beach — the Road has seen it all.  Through its time as a gambling den owned by the Chief of Police, a gay bar, strip joint and blues bar the two-story structure remains virtually unchanged since its inception in the early 1900s.

Tobacco Road turns 100 Years Old with a celebration slammed packed with top local and national artists, perfromances, muscians, festivals & BBQs — the Road Warriors will even show they can still compete with the kids at the upcoming Red Bull Flug Tag with a flying Birthday Cake lunged into Biscayne Bay on Novemebr 3rd in Bayfront Park.

Collins Canal Centennial Celebration 11/3/12

Collins Canal Centennial Celebration
1050Saturday November 3, 2012, 10am
The Bandshell, on the Canal
Washington Avenue and 21st Street
Miami Beach.
Rain location: the 21st St. Recreation Center next door. 
 
Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL) and the Collins Park Neighborhood Association (CPNA) present an all-day family event to celebrate the 100th Birthday of the Collins Canal in Miami Beach. Get ready to party like it’s 1912! 
 
Period costume is encouraged, and please decorate your bike or boat! Boaters please see info below. Transit: You can reach the event area on Miami-Dade busses C,L,M,S or 120 to Collins Ave. & 23rd St.; bus 115/117 to Dade Blvd.; or the South Beach Local 25¢ bus to Collins Park. Parking: Miami Beach High School, on Dade Blvd. at Washington Ave. (PENDING) The event gets underway at 10am with ongoing music performances, food vendors, kids’ activities, and guided walking tours by MDPL hourly from 11am to 3 pm. 
 
Since Miami Beach pioneer John Collins originally built the Canal to transport his avocado crops, there will be a class on raising avocados at 10 am at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, on the Canal one block west of the Bandshell. 
 
Kids’ activities at the site will include face painting, a scavenger hunt, and a crafts table. The Miami Beach Regional Library nearby at 227 22nd St. will have Video Gaming for teens from11am to 3pm, and Storytelling for toddlers at 3 pm. 
 
John Collins is expected to drop by the Library at 2 pm! Official ceremony at the Bandshell starts at 4 pm with a talk by John Collins followed by a City Proclamation, Birthday cake, and musical finale by SoBe Institute of the Arts (SoBe Arts). All activities are free, except for food vendors. Boaters: The Canal is a wonderful place to canoe, kayak, or paddleboard! It is not officially part of the event site, but runs alongside it. 
 
The Canal is a public waterway and, as always, boating here is at one’s own risk. Please do not bring jet-skis or other motorcraft! We want this to be a safe & fun experience for kids and everyone else. Besides, it’s a manatee zone. Also, we cannot be responsible for securing your watercraft, so please bring your own locking device if you will be going ashore. 
 
The Canal is about 1 ¼ miles long, from its inlet on Biscayne Bay (just south of the Venetian Causeway) running northeasterly along Dade Boulevard to its outlet on Lake Pancoast, at the south end of Indian Creek. It’s about 40 ft. wide (narrowed by vegetation), a few feet deep, and there are seven bridges with overhead clearance of 4-6 ft. There is unknown debris on the bottom; so wading shoes are a good idea. Tides are fairly strong in the Canal. On Nov. 3 the current will be coming in from the Bay (eastbound) from 5:30 am to about noon, then flowing out again (westbound) from noon to 5:45 pm. Decide how much of a challenge you want! Rentals of canoes, kayaks, and boards are available at South Beach Kayak at 1771 Purdy Ave., near the Bay (southbeachkayak@hotmail.com 305-332-2853). At the other end of the Canal on Lake Pancoast, Beach Boat Rentals (2400 Collins Ave., 305-674-9300) has kayaks and paddleboards and is closer to the event site. Rentals do not come with locks, so bring one if you want to go ashore. Launching: At the west end of the Canal, there is a public launch ramp at the Miami Beach Marine Patrol in Maurice Gibb Park, on the Bay just north of the Venetian Causeway (Purdy Ave & 18th St.). There is a metered parking lot there, and also nearby is the brand-new Sunset Harbor Municipal Garage at 1900 Bay Road. There is also a launch site at the far west end of Lincoln Road, just south of the Canal. Launching at Lake Pancoast, at the east end of the Canal (Collins Ave. & 24th St.) is also easy, and a City parking lot is two blocks away, on 23rd St. There is a small landing platform on the Canal behind the Botanical Garden, just east of Meridian Avenue.

On Tuesday morning, October 16, 2012, the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce received a proclamation during the City Commission meeting whereby  Mayor Jim Cason and the City of Coral Gables declared October 25th “Chamber Day in Coral Gables”, in celebration of the Chamber’s 87th Anniversary.

To celebrate this milestone achievement for our Chamber and to remind the Coral Gables community that the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce has been their faithful partner for nearly nine decades, the Chamber will host a unique event that will take place on a single day only in our community – Thursday, October 25.

Themed “One To Grow On”, Chamber leaders will swarm the community by sharing good news about our Chamber and our beloved City Beautiful. Throughout the day we will visit members and non-members of our Chamber one-on-one, directly in their place of business.

“As Chair of the Board of the Chamber, I’m honored to be a part of this milestone event in celebration of 87 continuous years of dedication and support to our community.   October 25th, 2012 will be a day to remember and I’m proud to share this anniversary with our members, Chamber leadership and the business community in Coral Gables,” said Darla Thompson, Cherry Bekeart & Holland, LLP.

Our goals are to identify, connect and recruit new members who understand the value of our Chamber and the associated benefits they will receive to further build and strengthen our long-standing brand in the Coral Gables community.

We will conclude with a special celebration at Cibo Wine Bar as part of their one year anniversary event from 6-8pm. There will be a celebratory toast by Mayor Jim Cason, with special guests Robert Furniss-Roe, President of Bacardi North America and Nick Di Donato, President & CEO of Liberty Entertainment Group.

Bobby V: R&B sensation, Bobby V, released his self-titled debut album in 2005 on Ludacris’s Disturbing Tha Peace/Island Def Jam label which reached #3 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. The success of his album can be largely attributed to his single, “Slow Down,” which spent four consecutive weeks at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Bobby V has collaborated with several Grammy award winning artists, such as Lil Wayne on “Mrs. Officer” and Ludacris on “Pimpin’ All Over the World.”

Lil Scrappy: Def Jam recording artist, Lil Scrappy, is best known for his hit singles, “Money In the Bank,” and “No Problem” which both reached the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. He is currently the star of the popular VH1 reality show, “Love & Hip-Hop” which will be filming live during the event.

Noreaga aka N.O.R.E: Rap legend, Noreaga, started off his career as part of the duo Capone-N-Noreaga. His status as a legend was earned when his solo albums “N.O.R.E” and “God’s Favorite” both reached platinum status and the #3 spot on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. His hit “Nothin’” reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became N.O.R.E.’s highest charting single.

Pleasure P: Before embarking on a successful solo career in 2007, Pleasure P experienced great acclaim as a member of the group, Pretty Ricky. His upcoming album is titled “Marcus Cooper” and is scheduled to be released later this year. This will be the first album off of his new record deal withE1 Music.

Shifta: Shifta’s sound can be best described as Caribbean fusion, a distinctive blend of Miami house mixed with Jamaican dance hall. Shifta has been on the road touring across the nation; KPAT, KBFM, KHTT, and WHYI are just a few of the stations that became early believers and added Shifta to the lineup. Shifta’s track “Live It Up” reached #75 on the National Rhythmic Chart.

Tickets are $75 per person

James Bond turns 50 and it has sparked a fevered pitch around the world and no one is immune! Not even her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth. As we can all remember, this year’s Olympics opening ceremony was all about James Bond escorting the Queen of England out of a helicopter and parachuting into the stadium. Here in the US, we are also catching the fever with the welcomed release of the newest addition to the best selling movie franchise in history with “Sky Fall”. Countless events throughout all the major cities are slated to bring the fever to an all time high.

The Dezer Collection will do it like no one else in the world can!

The Dezer Collection’s James Bond Experience on November 9, 2012 at 7pm, will welcome die-hard fans to a reception filled with an endless flow of “Shaken Not Stirred” martinis by Russian Standard and served with a KGB smile from the Russian Standard girls. Delectable, globetrotting canapés will be spied and served by Celebrity Chef Adrianne Calvo.

Caviar treats reminiscent of black market treats will be sampled as a few privileged guests get to walk among the largest collection of James Bond cars and memorabilia, including the original “Golden Gun”.

All the spies in attendance will be able to view the trailer as they enjoy the reception, only to be kidnapped and shuttled to an undisclosed private theater to walk the red carpet, take pictures with the latest addition to the Bond Exhibit and watch the new premier of the “Skyfall” movie.
All those present will be the first witnesses to the unveiling of the new additions.

Teri Rios’s Annual Halloween Extravaganza which is known for its flair and over the top entertainment won’t disappoint as this red carpet event will feature cocktails, food, specialty entertainment, and celebrity appearances. The event grows with every year of its existence and going into its fifth year she is expecting another record breaking event in where all proceeds benefit the non for profit God’s Innocent Angels Foundation for RETT Syndrome.

RHETT Syndrome is diagnosed with in one in every 10,000 to 23,000 thousand children leaving those affected without ever having the ability to speak. This foundation is truly a labor of love for Teri Rios who named the God’s Innocent Angels Foundation after the letters in her niece’s name, Gia.

Teri Rios and the God’s Innocent Angels Foundation is calling on you to get creative and don your most outrageous costume for what will be South Florida’s most talked about Halloween party.

There will be special performances to keep the party going all evening long by the Celia Cruz All Stars, Wilka Claro, Fascination, Marla G of Giggles, Willie Panama, SVB, DJ Maximus 3000, and DJ OTTO.

Charities likeGod’s Innocent Angels Foundation thrive on the support of those in the community, so this year’s event will honor those who have done much for our community.

Oberle Lopez, Oscar Romero, DJ Maximus 3000, and Jim Norton.

Teri Rios’s 5th Annual Halloween Extravaganza promises to be the event of all events in South Florida but the real goal in Teri’s eyes is to raise enough funds to create the GIA Center for Children and Families affected by RETT Syndrome. Teri Rios invites you to this great party for a cause to help with this much needed undertaking. Teri hopes to see you in costume at the Circus Carnivale!

The Blacksmith Saloon Grand Opening 9/28/12

The Blacksmith Saloon Grand Opening
sep28-invite3Friday, September 28 at 9:00 PM
The Well
444 41st street
Miami Beach, FL

For tableside cocktail reservations call 305-397-8444

The Grand Opening will feature complimentary hors d’oeuvres and cocktails from 9:00-11:00.

From the skilled tradesmen behind Dining Room and OLA comes The Blacksmith Saloon, a cocktail bar and live music venue open only on Fridays starting September 28. Once a week, The Blacksmith will take over The Well, bringing in their own staff, décor and no-frills attitude to the Miami Beach night scene.
 
The Blacksmith is the answer to what many Miami locals have long been waiting for: a venue that features great cocktails, live music and quality bites without the typical South Beach fuss.  The 4000 square foot, 2-room venue features dark wood, dim lighting, and comfortable living room seating. The Tiffany Room is lit by a larger than life stained glass ceiling and rounded out by a stage designed for live music. The White Elephant Room will feature the first of its kind DIY American Whiskey Bar where guests are invited to order one of three classic whiskey cocktails and design it themselves by selecting the components with the help of a professional barman.
 
Don’t feel like going to the bar? No problem – the bar will come to you.  In addition to the whiskey bar, The Blacksmith will have tableside cocktail cart service. For a minimum spend of $50 per person, table seating is available whereby attendees can order their drinks directly from the mobile bar traveling around the room.   Think table-side guacamole, but instead of avocado there will be liquor and in place of a busboy with a mustache, a professional bartender with a mustache will be at your service.
 
If one prefers the old-fashioned way of ordering a cocktail, a saloon-inspired cocktail menu will present some of the most innovate cocktails in Miami.  Adding to his growing list of successful cocktail programs, Miami’s favorite bartender Chris Hudnall has once again raised the bar with the creation of The Blacksmith’s drinks menu. Cocktails include Cactus Cooler: Michters Rye, Cactus Wine, Maple Honey, Lemon, Orange – Rocks ($12); Oh Earl: Martin Millers Gin (Earl Grey Tea Infused), Cocci, Honey, Lime, Herbs – Rocks ($12); and Blacksmith Flip: Gran Sierpe Pisco, Mandarine Napoléon, Champagne, Cream, Sugar, Nutmeg – Flute ($12).
 
For live music, local musician Buffalo Brown has customized The Blacksmith’s house band to complement the space. The 6-piece group will play jazzy rock covers in the Tiffany Room equipped with female singers, an upright bass player and a horn section. As the nights go on as will the tunes. Every other week, The Blacksmith will invite up-and-coming local music acts to grace the stage.
 
To enliven the palate, a small plates menu ($12/item), created by Food and Wine Magazines Best New Chef in the Gulf Region Chef Horacio Rivadero (The Dining Room, OLA), will be available. Dishes include Filet Mignon Skewers with red beet chimichuri; Florida Gulf Shrimp Ceviche with pink grapefruit, black peppercorns, and pink sea salt; and a Chorizo Corndog with fresh ground mustard. Guests may also select from various vegetarian options.

Venue Magazine hosted a lavish soiree as the red carpet was rolled out for Spanish Entertainment Celebrities By Betty Alvarez

I always heard about the Venue magazine parties but never had the privilege to attend one until Sept. 22 when the opportunity came to me. It was humid out but that did not stop me. I have been to Bamboo two times before but forgot how a good club this is. Stars from the Spanish entertainment world lined up the red carpet for this magazine launch cover party. I knew some of them but not all as during the Spanish soap opera hours I am out covering other events.

Beautiful actresses and handsome actors from the TV world posed for photos and were available for interviews. A deluxe goody bag was given to everyone that walked the red carpet and later all the stars had a special section at Bamboo Nightclub. Into the night, the club was getting filled up while specialty cocktails and appetizers were the talk of the night.

Dancing with the stars and spanish Soap opera actor, William Levy made his appearance but I could not find him after he walked the red carpet. A dance performance went underway while the DJ spinned awesome tunes and got the crowd pumped.

Photographs by John Christie of the Grand Opening of McCormick Place on Friday, September 7, 2012.  The venue featured exterior murals by South Florida artists Stephen Gamson and Eleazar Delgado as well as Ai Miami International University of Art & Design.   The grand opening of the McCormick Place was in conjunction with the Miami City Ballet’s Upper Room Season Opening Party and the DWNTWN Art Days. There was art, exotic cars, music by DJ Pabel Lima, Life is Art, performances by Cirque X, Cupcake Burlesque and food trucks Firewall Food Truck and Miami Spice Grill and wonderful massages by Freshly Squeezed.  Have to give thanks to the rum and vodka sponsors, El Dorado Rums and UV Vodka courtesy of AMC Liaisons.

“The original building, constructed in 1924, was first a US Customs Warehouse serving as storage of confiscated goods and look-out post for the nefarious characters coming into Miami via the Biscayne Bay and the Miami River. The property was purchased in 1970 by Edward J McCormick, Sr. and dedicated to his father, Dr. James McCormick. Now, three generations later, Sean McCormick is not only reviving this venue but the Downtown area, creating the epicenter for the cultural crossroads of Miami. McCormick Place is a vibrant production based event space with rotating art from local Miami artists.”

If you’re like us, your favorite competitive sport consists of two chefs engaged in kitchen combat. We’re talking sharp knives and open flames. The best part? You get to eat the spoils of the battle, along with delicious bites from dozens of Miami’s best restaurants.

This year’s Iron Fork is presented by the Miami Downtown Development Authority and will be held at Grand Central in Downtown Miami on Thursday, October 18th from 7 to 10 p.m., with VIPs getting an extra hour of tasting and partying at 6 p.m. And what’s a cool event without a cause? Iron Fork also benefits the United Way of Miami-Dade.

The event, which is curated by celebrity chef Allen Susser, features two Chef Challenges. It’s simple: each chef will receive a basket of ingredients, including one mystery ingredient. It’s up to them to battle for the glory and the coveted Iron Fork award.

And the battles won’t be relegated to traditional chefs. Even food trucks will get in on the action with the Fighting Food Trucks Best of Battle, featuring Mr. Good Stuff vs Palate Party!

The Great Grove Bed Race 2012 9/2/12

The Great Grove Bed Race – 2012
Vanilla-Ice-at-Start-LineSunday, September 2, 2012 , 1:00 pm
Coconut Grove Village Streets
www.thegreatgrovebedrace.com 

Get Your Sheet Together:

‘Great Grove Bed Race’ set for Sept. 2
 
Box springs do battle at tongue-in-cheek Coconut Grove PJ-party tradition dating back 30 years; register at TheGreatGroveBedRace.com—it’s gonna be bed-lam!
 
In the mood for some mattress mayhem? Perhaps even a little bed-on collision? Then set your alarm for Labor Day Weekend and don’t hit snooze—you’ll lose. There’s no bedside manner required for this pajama party that’ll shake you out of your slumber and have you shedding your slippers and rippin’ your one-sies. This, Sleeping Cutie, is your wake-up call for the 2012 Great Grove Bed Race.
 
A tongue-in-cheek competition of racing homemade beds down the streets of Coconut Grove, the origins of the Great Grove Bed Race date back three decades. Tireless teams consist of five members—call it a “five-way”—with four ready-to-romp racers and one rider hitched to the headboard. Speed wins the ultimate exhale at the checkered flag, but awards also will be given for theme, creativity and décor (this being a consummate competition). Celebrity judges will be on hand to grade those looking to score away from home, and proceeds from this roll in the hay of hilarity benefit Local charities through the Junior Chamber International Crew of hundreds of cone-head volunteers.
 
Miami residents, Coconut Grove merchants, and local clubs, businesses and organizations all are invited to pull back the sheets on this year’s affair, with festivities kicking off Saturday night (Sept. 1) of Labor Day Weekend with the Michelob Ultra Pajama Pub Crawl through participating Coconut Grove bars and restaurants.
 
Sunday (Sept. 2) is race day, with highlights to include Pit Row Parade of decorated beds on display; and of course the 1/8th-mile trundle through the heart of the Grove Village. And to eliminate any awkwardness or hard feelings after the on-track tryst, Grove merchants will host a post-race celebration complete with live music, interactive exhibits and perhaps even a little pillow talk—just no sleeping with the enemy…maybe….
 
This Labor Day Weekend, Coconut Grove is the place to be for some laborious laughter. For event info—and to register to create your own bedlam—visit TheGreatGroveBedRace.com. Don’t sleep on it!
 
The Great Grove Bed Race is produced by the Grove Merchant Group. The Grove Merchant Group welcomes visitors and patrons to enjoy the tree-lined streets of Coconut Grove while branding the neighborhood as an attractive and viable village.

Born in 551 BC, in Qufu, Shandong Province, China, Confucius is known for his development of the concept of Confucianism (“Ru Jia”) which focuses upon cultivating kindness, courteousness, benevolent rule and personal responsibility as the basis for society.
 
Confucius’ concepts and body of work has had an enormous influence on the development of philosophy, civilian and governmental structure, religious institutions, and even the military.
 
In recent years, Confucius’ ideas about how to achieve a harmonious and just society has gained a huge up surge in global interest. Few people, in human history has had as much of a profound influence upon the development of human civilization, as has, Confucius.
 
Mid-Autumn is a traditional time for family gatherings in China, so there could be no better time for the entire South Florida family to come together and enjoy delicious chinese mooncake and celebrate the life, work and ideas of Confucius.
 
Come and join the Chinese Consulate General of China, Mayors of Miami, Doral, North Miami Beach, Senators, Members of Congress, and representatives of Chinese associations at the Mid-Autumn Festival Reception Honoring Confucius.

Since it’s inception, in 1992, as a non-profit organization, the South Florida Shandong Association has become the leading organization in South Florida focused on increasing economic, cultural and social ties between South Florida and one of China’s top economic, social and cultural regions, Shandong Province.

The delegation from the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China will be led by Consul General Xu Erwen. The Consulate General is committed to promote the exchanges and cooperation between China and the southern United States in all fields, to deepen the understanding and friendship between Chinese and American peoples, to protect the rights and benefits of Chinese citizens, and to provide consular services to overseas Chinese in our consular districts and all visitors to China.
