Indie Film Night at Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Co.
6:30 p.m. Monday, May 22
If you’ve ever snuck a 40 into a movie theater, you know the joys of drunk film watching. Rather than risk getting caught and shamed, you can head to Lincoln’s Beard during the brewery’s weekly movie nights to double-fist some beers while catching a double feature. This week is a special screening of works by local filmmaking twins Daniel and Lazaro Nuñez. Settle in to watch a repertoire that includes horror, drama, and romance, all while sipping a local craft brew like the true patron of Miami arts and culture we know you are.
Tameka Bradley Book Signing at Books and Books

If you live in the Latin mecca of Miami, you can easily forget that Florida is part of the South, a region where the KKK was founded, where gas stations still sell Confederate flags, where the North never really won. Historian and author Tameka Bradley Hobbs took a long, hard look at this unsettling reality in her award-winning book, Democracy Abroad, Lynching at Home: Racial Violence in Florida. A native of the Sunshine State, the accomplished Florida Memorial University professor is an expert in oral histories and African-American history. She will read and sign her tome at Books & Books this week.

A new outfit is like a holy panacea: It can relieve foul moods, alleviate stress, and aid in motivation. But rather than help only yourself, you can reap the benefits of new threads while helping women in Miami at the same time. At the I Am She Swapfest, you can bring at least seven items of gently worn, undamaged, and clean clothing and accessories in exchange for manicures, makeup, and, yes, more clothes. The more you donate, the more you can walk away with, plus you’ll be helping homeless women with new outfits for job interviews through Dress for Success and Atlantis University. RSVP is required, so sign up now for the sake of your wardrobe and your weekly fix of altruism.
