* Vendor applications are being accepted for the first annual Night Owl Market in Fort Lauderdale's F.A.T. Village. With more than 50 local artists selling handcrafted and vintage goods, as well as free admission and free wine, craft beer and cocktails all night, people are invited to, as the invitation from Indie Craft Bazaar puts it, "liquor up and shop till you drop." There will also be food trucks and music from DJ Mikey Ramirez of Radio-Active Records. Vendor fee is $45. All proceeds will go to Flagler Civic Association for a community garden and a sign to help make Flagler Village more identifiable. Oh, and the event will apparently feature unicorns. Yes, unicorns. As an added bonus, this will take place 5 p.m. to midnight June 30 during F.A.T. Village's monthly art walk, which will feature many new exhibits in the galleries and studios.
