THE WEEK
Equality Night, The Las Olas Art Fair and Austin Mahone
____________________ ____________________ Thursday
10/17 Friday
10/18
Austin Mahone
Zombie Prom: The Musical
o Austin Mahone—the newest Justin Bieberesque tween sensation—charges fifty bucks for a ten minute Skype session with friends. Kara DioGuardi explains his popularity through the way he, “knows how to connect…he lets his fans into his bedroom.” Woah now, settle down there, reader, because Austin Mahone is a mere 17 and still underage. His career began when he started posting YouTube videos. Subsequently, singles like “Say Something” and “What About Love” became hits. Will he be the next Justin Bieber? Probably not. And that’s a good thing. 7:30 p.m. Fillmore Miami Beach. 1700 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, 33139.
oEver wonder about that one guy who just won’t let go? Ever feel like someone is so attached nothing could separate the two of you? Well, in Zombie Prom: The Musical, teen rebel Jonny (spelled on purpose without the –h) commits suicide after his girlfriend’s parents forbid them from seeing each other. But death doesn’t deter their deep, profound love, and Jonny comes back to life…well, sort of. Zombie Prom: The Musical first premiered in 1993 in Key West before having a short off-Broadway run in 1996. 8 p.m. Andrews Living Arts Studio. 23 NW 5th Street, Fort Lauderdale, 33301.
Life Drawing Event o Work, life pressures, and relationship drama can stifle the artistic side of a contemporary gay man. Why let these silly inhibitions plague the part of you that once flourished in a high school Drawing I class? Luckily, a fun group of gay guys are offering a monthly freestyle male Life Drawing Event. Bring your art supplies and experiment in charcoal, watercolor, painting, and pencil. Internationally published Chris Lopez is scheduled as the first guest artist. 6 p.m. Leatherwerks. 1226 NE 4th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, 33304.
Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival o On the heels of last weekend’s gay film festival comes this much longer festival (almost a whole month). Now in its 27th year, The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival showcases the most entertaining features, documentaries, and shorts from around the globe. Films this year include the much-heralded and very American Woody Allen film Blue Jasmine, the acclaimed debut from first-time director Alexandre Moors Blue Caprice, and the Italian Pazze Di Me. Also, this year’s event will feature a tribute to Zsa Zsa Gabor with film montage, Q&A, and book signing. The festival runs from 10/18-11/11 with many different events and films at various times and venues.7 p.m. Cinema Paradiso. 503 SE 6th St, Fort Lauderdale, 33301. THE WEEK continues on page 35

The Week ____________________ Saturday
10/19
Equality Night oEver since Jason Collins came out, and the ensuing fanfare, the issue of homosexuality in the sports world has become a national debate. Just how homophobic are the locker rooms? The teams themselves? What kind of steps can be taken to create a more inclusive atmosphere that encourages LGBT athletes? With Dian Nyad in the news and more and more athletes coming out, this is certainly a hot topic. The Florida Panthers, The You Can Play Project, and The Pride Center host a social hour and benefit dinner at the BB&T Center on this very issue. Benefit will include dinner, drinks, and admittance to the Minnesota Wild vs. Florida Panthers Hockey Game. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Pride Center. 7 p.m. 1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise, 33323.
Las Olas Art Fair o The diverse array of South Floridian artistic talent is on display at the Las Olas Art Fair. The famous cultural street is blocked off for the weekend as local and visiting artists display and sell their work. Window shop the different artistic renderings or purchase pieces of a variety of tastes and budgets. Artists line both sides of the street with their professional display booths and even if haggling isn’t always the greatest option, a genial conversation on the artist life may cure your miserly nature. The event takes place Saturday and Sunday during the day on Las Olas Blvd. 10 a.m. 600 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, 33301.

Tales in the Ground Grass: Adventures of a Badass Grandma oMost people have at least one badass grandma. You know, the type who strokes your hair as you complain about your latest boy problems. Or the type who calls your parents on bullshit at their ambivalence on your sexuality. Peggy Levison Nolan certainly considers herself a badass grandma. Not only does she empathically care for her kin, but she is also a badass artist, having exhibited in MOMA in New York, San Francisco, and recently, the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami. Here, she delves in still lifes and moving pictures, turning photographic details from everyday life into film-like adventures. Empty glasses, empty chairs, children playing, babies crying—they’re all features in her analysis of

Expressions Travel, Tourism, Trade Show and Expressions Magazine o Fort Lauderdale is a tourist town known for its gays and its yachts. The Expressions Travel, Tourism, Trade Show highlights the different businesses attracted to our city. This showcase brings together hundreds of individuals and entrepreneurs of varying backgrounds and ethnicities. With so many businesses promoting their goods, there’s bound to be a match for anyone looking to redefine their Fort Lauderdale lifestyle. Admission is complimentary. 2 p.m. Sheraton Suites Plantation. 311 N University Dr, Fort Lauderdale, 33324.

10/22
2 Guys and a Mike o Everyone has at least one go to karaoke song. Even if you’re tired of hearing an ex-musical theater major queen belt “Send in the Clowns” or “Don’t Cry for me Argentina” one more time, karaoke can still be a riotous adventure for the drinker in all of us. Spend your Tuesday night testing your vocal skills, drowning in drink, while listening to hapless lovers pretend to be the next American Idol. 2 Guys and a Mike is a classic karaoke staple at Bill’s Filling Station, with a lively and inspired crowd. 9 p.m. Bill’s Filling Station. 2209 Wilton Dr, Wilton Manors, 33305.

10/23
The Vegas Vine Wine Dinner o The only Fort Lauderdale all vegan restaurant hosts a night bound to impress the .00001% of this mostly Hispanic city interested in vegan food. Sublime has maintained its valuable reputation as the classiest vegan restaurant in South Florida with an eclectic menu that caters to even the most carnivorous of your friends. Accolades have ranged from 4 star Sun-Sentinel reviews and a spot in USA Today’s top 10 in the nation serving cuisine with a clear conscience. Tonight they team up with NBA legend John Salley, presenting his wine with a fabulous meal. 6 p.m. Sublime Restaurant & Bar. 1431 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale, 33304.

Dining
Green Bar & Kitchen
o
When I heard there was a gluten-free, plant-based restaurant in town, I was skeptical to say the least. It’s difficult to cook gluten-free food; it either comes out soggy or hard enough to chip a tooth. The fact that Green Bar & Kitchen is both gluten-free and vegan was worrisome to me. If you don’t season everything perfectly, it ends up a bland mess. Walking into GBK, you feel like you’ve been transported to a hip juice bar in West Hollywood. Tree branches on the ceiling and wood tables give the space a trendy vibe, complete with a spacious patio out back. We sat at a wooden high top lieve) and was now very eager for our dishes – it’s “seat yourself” style – where to come out. I ordered a gluten-free beer we were received menus instantly. Though ($5) in the mean time, and my friend ordered it’s not extensive, the restaurant swaps out a glass of pinot grigio ($7) – both of which specials regularly. were fantastic. The special of the day was a stuffed By the time my burger arrived, I was starvsquash, with quinoa and cranberries, served ing. The tamari, garlic, rosemary and sage with a pumpkin soup. The soup of the day worked to transform the blend of veggies was a Thai coconut soup ($5), which, of and grains into a flavorful, rich meal. The side course, I ordered right away. For my main salad came with their house vinaigrette and a course, I ordered the GBK Burger with side dash of salt that practically brought the mixed salad ($10); a burger made with brown rice, greens back to life. My friend’s coconut bowl quinoa, chickpea, carrot, onion, parsley, was to die for. It was fresh, savory and delisunflower seeds, garlic, tamari, smoked salt, cious, not to mention filling (we took over pepper, thyme, sage and rosemary on a gluten-free bun with chipotle garlic mayo.

For dessert, we ordered a acquaintance ordered the coconut grain bowl peanut butter rice krispie bar and a chocolate chip brownie, both of which were amazingly ($12), which was recommended to us rich. by multiple people before we even GBK is an excellent addition to set food inside.

Travel
The Good Neighbor Policy by
Rick Karlin
o
One of the great things about living in South Florida is its proximity to the islands of the Caribbean, making those locations ideal for a three or four-day weekend trip. Round-trip airfares are often inexpensive, and last minute cruise deals can usually be yours for even less. However, as with all neighbors, some are friendlier than others. Many roll out the welcome mat while others are less welcoming to the LGBT community (I’m talking to you Jamaica, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands). The next time you’re thinking of a quick get-away, consider some of these friendly neighbors.
The Dominican Republic
The capital city, Santo Domingo, has an active GLBT scene. Although the city itself is not a prime beach destination, several beaches lie within a short drive. Stiff competition keeps prices down at hotels, restaurants and attractions, and the island
resorts, so if you’re looking for a more authentic Dominican experience, visit Puerto Plata on the northern part of the island. Santo Domingo also offers many gay-friendly accommodations, including the Coco Boutique Hotel and Dona Elvira Guesthouse, all located in the city’s Colonial Zone. The Villa Flamingo is a privately owned vacation villa located in the small surfing town of Cabarete, a 30 minute drive from Puerto Plata’s airport. La Parrillada, a steak house in Puerto Plata and Playa Punta Rucia, just west of town, are both popular gay dining destinations. Costelao La Churrasqueria is a gay-friendly restaurant in Santo Domingo. Bar Friends, in the Colonial Zone, is one of the oldest gay bars but has been newly remodeled with two floors and a roof garden. You’ll find tourists and Dominicans (and possibly hustlers) enjoying the lively atmosphere. The fairly new bar, NYC, has live male dancers if you’re thirsty.
Puerto Rico
offers tons of all-inclusive, easy-on-the-budget hotel options. A recent search on Orbitz for a fourday weekend package of hotel and airfare brought up a number of options priced less than $400, with airfare alone running less than $250. The Dominican Peso is the official currency, however the U.S. dollar is often preferred and the exchange rate is strong. If you’re looking for a little more excitement, the nightlife and casinos will keep you entertained. Punta Cana is rife with tourists and all-inclusive

guymag.net
theguymag
theguymag
A mixture of beaches and rich history makes Puerto Rico the perfect vacation spot for relaxation or cultural exploration. Even if you plan to spend most of the day at the beautiful beaches, leave enough time for side trips to the El Yunque rainforest and a tour of the Casa Bacardi Rum Distillery. Round trip airfares are available for around $250, while package deals can be had for as little as $325. Many lowcost carriers offer service to the island, and there’s no worry about currency exchange, or remembering your passport, since it is a U.S. territory. San Juan is the hub of the GLBT community, and has many gay-owned or gay-friendly housing options. If you prefer trendy resorts, check out La Concha Renaissance, Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel and Casino or the W Retreat and Spa on Vieques Island. Small boutique hotels include Wind Chimes Inn, Numero Uno Guesthouse and the Atlantic Beach Hotel near the beach in the Condado district and Hotel El Convento (in a former convent and some say haunted). Hotel Miramar is in the heart of Santurce, as is Oceana Hostal Playero, an affordable gay-owned beach
guymagtube
resort with a great bar. Guesthouses include the eco-friendly Coqui Del Mar, Andalucia, Pop Art B&B in Old San Juan and Mamacitas Guest House on Culebra Island. Splash Lounge is about one block from the gay beach, and also serves meals. Santurce is San Juan’s gay nightlife hub. Two hot spots, Heaven & Hell and Krash, closed recently, so most gay nightlife is centered on and near Calle Condado, making it easy to walk from bar to bar. Circo is San Juan’s most popular gay dance club, Metrosex Men’s Club (formerly the Eagle) offers male strippers, while the tiny dance club VIP features hip-hop. Scandalo is a small dance club that hosts drag shows, Tía María Liquor Store is a divey, but pleasant, bar with two pool tables and the only place in Santurce open every night of the week For dining in Condado; Bebo’s Café is one of San Juan’s most popular spots. Buenos Ayres is, as you might guess, an Argentinian steakhouse; BudaTai specializes in nuevo Latino/Asian fusion cuisine while il Postino and Di Parma Trattoria offer up Mediterranean food. In Santurce, Kasalta is a casual deli and bakery with great food and Punto de Vista in Old San Juan is the spot for mojitos and mofongo, while The Parrot Club focuses on contemporary island cuisine.
island is gay-friendly and has launched several campaigns aimed at attracting GLBT visitors. After a day at the beach, check out the art galleries, museums and flea markets. For a chance to commune with nature, a trip to Arikok National Park, Bubali Bird Sanctuary, area caves, or a butterfly farm will help you do just that. Getting around the island is easy thanks to reliable, affordable bus lines serving popular tourist areas. Flights to Aruba are a bit pricier than many Caribbean destinations, a recent search turned up round-trip fares for around $500, however four-day package deals are available for as little as $750. In addition to the major chain hotels, there are two independent spots. Little David Guesthouse is gay-owned and men-only with only four rooms and a clothing-optional swimming pool. Bucuti Beach Resort on Eagle Beach is a member of IGLTA, and has a wedding planner on site experienced at throwing same-sex weddings. If you prefer a chain hotel, the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort gets high marks as an all-inclusive spot. Jimmy’s Place is the only gay bar in Aruba, but many folks also hang out at Eet Cafe and the Paddock, both in the Orangestad area. Dining options include Screaming Eagle offering up a taste of Miami at Eagle Beach and Windows on Aruba is a steakhouse in Palm Beach. In Orangestad, check out Que Pasa? or Yemanja Woodfired Grill while Marandi is a great place to dine while enjoying the sunset.
Aruba
Aruba, just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela, is not large enough to support much of a gay community, but the

Cable Your Way To Bigger Bulges by Tom
Fitness
Bonanti
o
When it comes to resistance training and bodybuilding there is nothing better than free weights, i.e., barbells, dumbbells, etc. Machines are effective for isolating certain muscle groups or when you are in a hurry. Cable exercises are great for adding some variety to your routine. I like to combine cables with free weights to exhaust the muscle group(s) I am targeting that day. Try a few of these exercises and I think you’ll be impressed with the results… and the burn! Bent-over cable raises work the entire shoulderdeltoids area and allow you to target the rear head of the deltoids. Stand adjacent to a low cable, bend over and grasp the handle palm up across your body with the right hand. With the left hand on the left knee for support, raise the right arm up and out to the side until almost parallel to the floor. Pause, then lower to starting position without letting the weights touch between repetitions. Perform 10-12 reps, then turn around and grasp the handle with the left hand for another set. Complete 3 alternating sets of 8-12 reps with each arm. One arm pec-chest cable crosses are great for isolating each set of pecs – right and left sides – alternately. Stand adjacent to a high cable and grasp the handle palm forward in the left hand, the arm bent. Now pull down and across your chest. Pause, then return to starting position once again without letting the weights touch between reps. Perform

8-12 reps, then turn around and grasp the handle with the right hand for another set. Complete 3 alternating sets with each arm. Pump up biceps with standing curls. Stand facing a low cable and grasp a short bar or you can also use a rope by grasping it on either side. Keeping arms slightly bent, proceed to curl up and squeeze until biceps meet forearms. Pause then lower to starting position without letting the weights touch between reps. Perform 3 sets of 8-12 reps and feel the burn! Kneeling cable curls will give those triceps the attention they require. Kneel adjacent to a high cable, grasping the handle palm up with the right hand. Beginning with the right elbow against the right knee, arm bent at a 90 degree angle, and the left hand on the left knee for support, proceed to pull down with the right hand until the arm is nearly straight. Pause then return to starting position and don’t let the weights touch between reps. Perform 8-12 reps, then turn and grasp the handle with the left hand for another set. Complete 3 alternating sets of 8-12 reps with each arm. These and many other cable exercises are effective and they’ll allow you to target the muscle group you want to blast that day.
