Miami Politicians Double Down on Thing That’s Never Worked
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Jimenez convened a press conference with other prominent municipal and county leaders to announce that they would spend an additional $2.1 billion of taxpayer money on something that has literally not worked once. Not even a little bit. Nowhere. Never.
Live Reading @ The Villain Theater
Join us for a ridiculous night of Miami-centric comedic theater. Just as the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Norse had their gods, villains, and heroes, we now have a legendary saga based on the hyperbolic surrealism that is living in South Florida.

WLRN: Miami Gets Its Very Own Creation Myth
When Andrew Otazo decided to write his version of Miami’s origin story, he didn’t draw from history, but from Greek mythology and the Bible’s Book of Genesis.

Read the Award-Winning, Culturo-Cosmic Adventure
“A Seussian, unfiltered take on the fabled origins of the cultural contradiction that is Miami. Pepito meets Paul Bunyan. Hilariously poignant but biting critique of the frustration of living in present day Miami and why things are why they are.”
“Every great city deserves a great foundational myth. Miami wants to be a great city but this collection of stories leaves nothing to be desired. It’s hilarious, raunchy, and uplifting.”
“This book is for you if you can see Miami as what we are and what we can be, and if yours is a seriously silly sense of humor. Andrew Otazo loves and knows Miami—wackiness to wisdom. He writes very well.”
“It takes readers on a bilingual, psychedelic, eco-conscious odyssey.”
“Out of this world… The Miami Creation Myth is filled with laughs and vivid visuals.”
“While Otazo celebrates Miami with humor, he also takes on more serious issues facing our community.”
¡Ñoooooooo que Audiobook!
