"The Bends’ events calendar is basically a list of things to keep recently dumped Miamians distracted. They’ve got dedicated nights for karaoke (on Thursdays), trivia (on Sundays), and a monthly country night endearingly referred to as the “Hialeah Hoedown.” If you want to go out but aren’t yet ready to socialize, beeline to the bar’s chunky Panasonic TV and play Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64 until your thumbs get sore. They even have emo nights, which are essentially nostalgic dance parties set to the tune of My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy—all a wounded soul needs to feel alive again." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
