BELATED ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS
Pub on the Drive celebrated its anniversary last week. Has it really been 14 years? H.G. Roosters has three giant sausages for you to try. An all-American, a German and a hot Italian. Hint-they’re not the bartenders, these are on the menu.
Cannonball Bash for cubs, bears and silver foxes and their admirers is being held this week with Westin Fort Lauderdale as the home base. Today’s the “Strip n Dip” party poolside.

POSSESSION IS NINE-TENTHS OF THE LAW
Whatever you do at Eagle’s Glow party tonight isn’t your fault, just say you were “Possessed.” Rebel Wine Bar kicks off Halloween weekend with “Confessional” starting at 7 p.m., and the fun continues tomorrow.
Cannonball starts with an afternoon spa tour. I’m certain there will be lots of facials. Then later that night there’s a “Slippery When Wet” party at the hotel, followed by a banquet, a trip to Johnson’s, then a pool party.
Miniaci Performing Arts Center presents “The Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Shadow Cast Performance,” and, in keeping with the spooky film theme, The Arsht has “Ghostbusters” in concert, and The Norton Museum screens “Beetlejuice.”

CHER’S NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TURN BACK TIME!
This Halloween is also the night we turn back the clocks for Daylight Savings Time, so all the bars will be open an hour longer.
The Drive is closed as creatures of all sorts prowl for Wicked Manors. Things get “Sinister” at Eagle with DJ Jace M., and Gym Bar is turning into a ghost town. Nina Flowers, Alex Infiniti, Duane Cedric, Joshua Adams, and DJ Miik are all spinning at The Manor tonight.
Off the Drive, Chocolate City is giving out a Dr. Dre & Snoop Dog Gin & Juice prize package. At Roosters, Melissa St. John has two wicked shows planned with special guest Blaque.
