Memorial Day and Bebel
In today’s Herald, I report that the ACLU will be sending observers to South Beach to monitor the cops Memorial Day weekend, after last year’s record number of arrests. We’ll be providing more Mem Day coverage, including a Weekend guide and story on Circle House and Inner Circle Friday.
I also reviewed Saturday’s horrible Bebel Gilberto show, which was alleviated somewhat by Federico Aubele’s opening act and Friday’s fun Sidestepper show — all part of the JVC Jazz Festival.
After spending Friday afternoon at Circle House and night at the North Beach Bandshell, for Sidestepper, I had one of those moments where I really appreciate living in Miami — North America’s Caribbean city.
