Remember, if you want to make sure you get your favorite song, sign up starts promptly at 10pm!! We give you a lyric sheet too in case you wanna study, and there's complimentary Colt45 during the sign-up so you can drink away your stage fright... It's at Chocolate Sundays at Purdy Lounge, one of Miami's best and longest-running parties. Full info on our myspace.

Tonight in Miami, there are roughly 437 things to do. Here's a few...
