Luckily, single day passes were available. I think all festivals should offer single day passes because let’s be honest, sometimes you don’t want to commit to a full weekend....

The Cure Concert in Miami 2016- Perfection

Last night we went to The Cure concert at Bayfront Park Amphitheater in Miami! We bought our tickets at the end of last year (2015) right when they went on sale. We decided to go big with premium seats on the 5th row. We figured the band has been around for decades and well, they probably won’t be touring for much longer. In essence, it may be the last time we...

Day 2 Friday at Bonnaroo  Continued from Day 1 at Bonnaroo Music Festival We were able to get a nice spot in the VIP Section of the “Which Stage” to see Royal Blood.

Wynwood Art Walk- Has The Art Become an Afterthought?

My daughter and I went to Wynwood Art walk last weekend after not having been there in a while.  Needless to say things have changed quite a bit. The food truck area, which once was just a small part of the walk, has now become a huge event. There are tons of vendors where the new concrete floor was layed, as well as a tent with a DJ and 3 bars. One can spend the...
