sketchy miami

daniel and i spent a lot of time in wynwood this weekend: at panther coffee, the wynwood art walk and food truck rally, and my personal favorite - sketchy party #2.

sketchy miami is the brainchild of the beached miami blog, and has only one goal: to create a sketch of every person in miami. get it? sketches? sketchy? yeah. as part of this effort they have hosted two fantastic sketchy parties, where people from across miami can come to eat, drink, and be sketchy.

sketchy party #2 took place this past friday at the bakehouse art complex, which is amazing on its own. there were nearly a thousand people and what seemed like hundreds of artists there of all ages and backgrounds to sketch the people of miami. one woman even stitched her sketches into fabric with a sewing machine that she casually had on-hand.

we followed up the sketchy party with a midnight showing of 'troll hunters' at the nearby o-cinema. troll hunters is amazing and exactly what it sounds like - a film about norwegians that hunt trolls. epic.

panther coffee

along with my half-hearted attempt to eat healthier (these were my downfall), i also fully intended to kick my coffee habit this summer. this was made infinitely harder by the opening of panther coffee, a new cafe and specialty roaster in the wynwood arts district.

you can watch the beans being roasted right next to the counter, and the coffee is amazing. it's so hard to say no to an afternoon iced coffee when it's this good!
