Are you angry about something? Santorum's wins? A bad break-up? A rude driver?

Take that anger to Tobacco Road on Saturday where an arsenal of 25,000 ripe tomatoes will be at your disposal to throw indiscriminately at random strangers for the first annual Flying Tomato Smash & Bash. The fun starts at 2 p.m. with live music, then participants can register at 3:30 p.m. for $10 to join in the tomato toss, which begins at 4 p.m. 

Taking inspiration from Bunol, Spain's Tomatina festival which brings thousands of rowdy folks together each year to toss 90,000 lbs. of tomatoes, Tobacco Road's party should be just as wild and messy.

Tobacco Road’s 1st Annual Tomato Tomatina Festival, Saturday, Feb. 11.  Party Starts at 2:00 p.m., Registration at 3:30 p.m., Tomato Fight at 4 p.m. Participants $10, spectators free. Tobacco Road, 626 S. Miami Ave., Miami.
