Your favorite downtown Brazilian pub is celebrating the end of the week São Paulo–style,
meaning lots of cachaça and maybe even a leggy Gisele look-alike or three. In addition to the
two-for-one caipirinhas, there'll be gratis appetizers like potato croquettas and cheese empanadas. Start
practicing your Portuguese now.
Funk
Open Bar and Spam Allstars at Mia
Local troubadours the Spam Allstars are throwing a free concert of their trademark jazz/Latin/electronica
music at downtown megaclub Mia. And in case you get thirsty, you'll have three hours to enjoy complimentary
Absolut cocktails. Which might be enough reason to go, no matter how you feel about Spam.
Sure, you've enjoyed mixed martial arts showdowns on TV, but now you can catch the action in all its live,
sweaty glory. The night includes MMA favorites like Crafton "Blaze" Wallace, along with a surprise showdown
between two of the nation's top female fighters. Insert universal catfight noise here.
For one day only, museums like the Bass, Wolfsonian and Miami Art Museum are waiving their fees so you can
spend some time soaking up the AC and culture. All you have to do is print this card and put on your best
deep-in-thought expression.
If there's one thing you like in your weekend (other than girl fights), it's wine. Saturday and Sunday at
the Miami Beach Convention Center, they'll be pouring more than 1500 varieties at this mother lode of wine
tastings. Might be time to break out the wine pong.
