Feel that shake early Friday morning? Could have been that nasty solar storm quaking Earth's magnetic field. Or maybe it was just the South Beach clubs revving up their sub-woofers for weekend parties.
Although the humidity is rising, Miami's weekend scene is just as flushed as it is in early winter.
There's a gigante street festival, a notorious art walk, and real divas onstage at the Fillmore, Revolution, and BankAtlantic Center.
Here are HuffPost Miami's picks for what to do this weekend:Elton JohnFriday, 8 p.m.BankAtlantic CenterTickets: $32 to $137Lady Gaga muse, Elton John, will play BankAtlantic Center Friday night. See why he's sold more than 250 million albums and won six Grammys, an Oscar, a Tony and a Golden Globe.

He told L.A Times, "the goal was to create an opus magnum. To go more raw, more honest, deeper and wilder than I'd ever done before. I tried to be as ruthless with myself in that as I could."
Henry RollinsFriday, 7 p.m.RevolutionTickets: $25Former frontman for hardcore band Black Flag, Rollins has been showing off his wit, intellect, and storytelling as a spoken word artist for the past few decades years. Friday night he'll touch on topics from ladies to fame to travel to the otherwise crappy state of affairs: "I’m not here to bash America, quite the opposite. But as far as the world, we are like number 46 or 48th in literacy. I don’t understand why that is. We’re like this amazing, industrialized country that gave the world the Internet. We’re incredible. Why is any country beating us in literacy?"
