Here are your marching orders for the first weekend of the month: Check out some great indie flicks at the Miami International Film Festival, go for a chilly dip in Lake Michigan, sink your teeth into discussions with Anthony Bourdain or Jonathan Gold and dress to impress at a comic book conference.

And the award for best use of metallic materials goes to … the Aluminum Show, a strange theatrical and gymnastic performance by an Israeli dance troupe touring the U.S. In the category of best use of wheels this weekend, the race between the Monster Jam in Dallas and Atlanta’s derby girls is too close to call. For foodie fun, the blockbuster frontrunner is the South Beach Wine & Food Festival featuring Food Network stars such as Guy Fieri, Emeril Lagasse, Rachel Ray, Giada De Laurentis and other luminaries, but the indie darling is certainly Portland, Oregon’s Cartathlon, a food cart scavenger hunt and foot race.
