It was raining and puddles while walking to the center. I usually sit in orchestra but had tickets in the balcony. It is so difficult to see the performance with being so far back and the people sitting in the seats in front of me were also blocking the view. I was also disappointed in the Flamenco show. I was expecting extravagant costumes and more dancing but it wasn't that. Hopefully I can enjoy another show or concert in this beautiful concert hall in the future.

In the mean time Mayla also made a friend who spoke both Russian and Spanish. Wow. FIU had a fantastic exhibit of their marine science programs. Mayla approved. We had a great time.

I have been attending and working the Miami yacht show for over 10 years. It's generally held…read moremid-February around Valentine's Day. It is a great event for vendors, buyers and looker on-ers that want to check out what these luxury "water houses" have to offer. The event was held off Collins for many years. BUT... Important note: The new location is now at One Herald Plaza between the Venetian and MacArthur causeways. The are many parking lots (garages), shuttles and public transportation as well as hotels to choose from. This new location makes staying near or far more convenient - in my opinion - as there are more ways and streets to get to the event. Instead of getting stuck on Collins in an Uber. Once you are in the event there are covered (air conditioned) areas that will display items anywhere from t-shirts to fancy motors. You could learn about the new material for wet suits or find some cool new boat shoes. The main event and "to see" part are of course the yachts. This location houses many luxury yachts from a large slew of brands. You can walk up and down the docks dreaming of which one you'd choose.. or just buy one if your pocket book allows. While I believe most are new displays there are some pre-own brokerage boats. If you've never been on one, they're a wonderful sight to see! Note that to get on a yacht you most likely will need to provide some information to each company. Honesty is key here. While they would like your information for marketing and security type reasons, they may also place you with a broker. Should you just want to see a yacht for fun, let them know. There is a food area to enjoy various food trucks and beverages. It is largely covered as well as uncovered. Most take cards as well as cash. Bring a hat and sunscreen and if you get motion sickness, know that if the weather is super windy, the docks can sway a bit.

I have always wanted to explore the old RC Cola Plant in Wynwood. RC Cola had its origins in…read moreGeorgia just like Coca-Cola but it never became as popular. The building is open sometimes for tours and as an event space. It was closed the day I finally had the chance to come by but I still was able to enjoy all of the art painted on the outside of the building. In 1905 RC (Royal Crown) Cola was founded by Claud Adkins Hatcher, a Columbus, Georgia pharmacist who enjoyed creating soft drinks in the basement of his family's wholesale grocery business. The company was originally called Union Bottling Works. Royal Crown Ginger Ale was the first flavor followed by Royal Crown Strawberry, Royal Crown Root Beer and Chero-Cola. One day Hatcher overheard a route salesman describe a competitors tall bottle as being knee high which inspired him to create the Nehi line of fruit flavors in 1924. These included orange, grape, root beer. By 1925 the name of the company had been changed to Chero-Cola Co. and there were 315 plants in 14 southern states for bottling Chero-Cola and Nehi. In 1928 the company changed its name again to the Nehi Corporation because of the popularity of the fruity soft drinks. Things were going along well for the corporation until the Great Depression and the stock market crash of October 1929. Business finally began to stabilize by the 1930's but Hatcher passed away suddenly at the age of 46 on December 31, 1933. His will provided for the establishment in 1938 for the Pickett and Hatcher Educational Fund named after his good friend Devitt Pickett. The fund offered college educations to students who couldn't otherwise afford them. The fund is still operating today benefitting thousands of college students. Hatcher was succeeded by Vice President H.R. Mott who led the company to profitability in the 1940's by streamlining operations and cutting expenses. In 1946 celebrities such as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Joan Crawford advertised for the company. In 1955 the name of the company was changed to Royal Crown Cola Company. In 1961 they made a breakthrough with a diet cola that tasted good and had no aftertaste. Diet Rite Cola took the company to new heights until cyclamate, the low calorie sweetener used in the soda was banned in 1969. 1975 brought to the public the popular ad campaign "Me and my RC." In 1980 the first caffeine free RC cola was introduced and in 1983 Diet Rite was eventually reformulated with NutraSweet. In 1984 RC Cola was bought by Chesapeake Financial Corporation an affiliate of Victor Posner and the headquarters was relocated from Atlanta, Georgia to Miami, Florida. An unfavorable court ruling against Posner spelled the end of RC Cola and it closed down in 1993 due to financial mismanagement. After becoming abandoned, the building began attracting graffiti. Today the RC Cola building is a focal point of the prestigious Art Basel held every December. It has appeared in the movie 2Fast2Furious. The plant is now owned by the Mana Urban Arts Project nd it is used for parties, festivals, events, and trade fairs. Art pieces painted there are under the curation of the Bushwick Collective. A full list of upcoming events can be found online.

George M. gave a great historical lesson on it, and I had the chance to check it out during the Wynwood Art Fair this afternoon legally ;) I'm half tempted to take out a star because there were no industrial piping by where they used to make the soda, but there was killer grafitti and you could inhale the history in the air, and see some real cool industrial architecture. I also got to see the making of an action film while sauntering through the facility. This place has potential too, for either a killah Halloween party or Full Moon drumming!

I have worked with Black Box Media many times and they are so accommodating and easy to work with. The team are wonderful and always ten steps ahead of you and so thoughtful. I produced a fashion show and career panel event there in July and we had an amazing turn out and we received so many compliments about the venue. I have also attended a birthday party here, a wedding, and seen music videos filmed here. It's 5000 square feet of black walls and polished floors. They have a cyc wall (continuous photo wall) seating clusters with furniture for photo opps, a stage, pipe and drape, audio equipment, party lights , a bar set up and make up set up, and a grid for lights. There are large gate doors which can be rolled up (they even shot a car commercial inside). The studio is also expanding to have two new bathrooms, a dedicated makeup room, green room and podcast room. There is a brewery right next door and a high end Peruvian Japanese fusion food truck on site. They had everything we needed for our production. This is a Miami hidden gem the owners really care about the space and keep up with improvements. Highly recommend for events, photo/ video shoots, conferences - you name it!
