A Guaranteed Hangover

It's like Octoberfest—except with fewer Germans and more malt liquor

We trust that a Dade County-bred graffiti artist who goes by the name Aholsniffsglue knows how to throw a good party: That's why this Saturday night we plan to hit up Coltoberfest 305, a crazy music and art mash-up at Churchill's Pub where the Colt45 will flow like water. (The cool kids from Vice magazine are co-sponsoring the event along with Colt, so expect brilliant people watching in the form of scores of drunken Do's and Dont's.)


But it's not just a hipster bacchanal. Many area artists whose work you regularly spot in Design District galleries have created miniature paintings that will be ironically displayed on 32-ounce bottles of Colt45, all curated by Aholsniffsglue. While you're enjoying your malt liquor with a side of talented emerging art talent, you'll also be doing a good thing for a local indie hangout—the evening has a five-dollar cover that goes to benefit Sweat Records, whose shop was recently vandalized.

So check out the cool original pieces on display at this one-night only show and enjoy complimentary Colt45 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. We can promise you an exciting Saturday night on the town, but be warned—we can't vouch for how hot you're going to feel come Sunday morning.

Churchill's is located at 5501 NE 2nd Avenue, (305) 757-1807.
