Ahhh Miami, our sometimes-beloved home, land of fire-spitting Lamborghinis (on 395 no less) and contrived stereotypes. Recently an online poll was conducted (clearly by someone with too much time on their hands) among 125,000 people which asked them to rate how hot the residents of various cities were. We won. I guess it's lucky for us that the crew of CSI: Miami, Nip/Tuck and Burn Notice never shoot west of NW 2nd Ave, because if they did the hulking ghettofab greasemonsters (example at left) that reside in that sector would surely ruin our rep among the clueless masses.
So what do us supposedly pretty people do when our paychecks just came in and we're feeling a bit restless? We party until the brink of death.
Read on for recommendations certified by only the most beautiful people. Just kidding, only certified by us. As an aside, please note how I carefully avoided making any mention of our current economic state.
Update: SMAC is launching a new Sunday party this weekend; details inside!

As usual lately, nothing special this Thursday. Hi guys people go out that night.

Saturday:
Steve Aoki @ Cameo: Pre-sale tickets: $25. Dayum!
Hercules and Love Affair @ Vagabond: Their music can only be described as pure, tasteful house, lacking the tacky window dressing reverb bullshit that has ruined house for the past three years. Only $10.

Sunday:
SMAC is branching out into other days of the week with the launch of their Shore Thing Sundays at the Shore Club hotel and resort. Sounds by Louis Dee. Should be worth checking out. Is it me, or are Sundays getting more competitive?
don't know about paying $25 to see aoki. he was cool back in the day but lately...
hey, no The Crumbs love? they're playing Churchill's saturday. i guess i'm showing my age on that one. does anyone even remember them anymore? their bad luck story is similar to the brian jonestown massacre one. talented punks doomed to never succeed. sigh.
no difference. not too keen on the new lineup. keep up the good work, fellas.
and pay no mind at my off and on jabs at you guys. much love from nemo.
btw, afrobeta at vagabond tonight.
It's DISCO. Straight up, genuine disco. Show it to your parents, they'll agree.
That shit ain't disco dawg.
I still think the disco-y aspect of it is the more recognizable feature of the music. I guess we'll see tonight.
