Evening roundup: Feels like Spring!


You can come out, now!


MUSIC

-Vinohrady's little slice of Blighty, The Royal Oak, hosts
The Blues Jam Session "for anyone who would like to come and play or listen to the blues." Takes place on the last Thursday of every month. From 7:30-10 p.m. Anny Letenské 18, Prague 2.

-Balkan brass band Orchestre International du Vetex. The ragtag group comes from Belgium, but their sound is Southeast Europe. 7:30 p.m. at Palac Akropolis, 200-250 Kč.

-Alexander Rybak is the baby-faced violinist from Norway who swept 2009's Eurovision with a little ditty he likes to call Fairytales. Eurovision being the insanely popular show that pits music acts representing each country against each other. Think American Idol, but with the dignity of a nation at stake. Lucerna, 9 p.m.

BARS/CLUBS

-SaSaZu (click on that link only if you want to see what web-design terrorism looks like) is running out of ideas and throwing a "Crazy Hair Party" beginning at 10 p.m. Next weekend: Wacky T-Shirt Night.

-Daily happy hour at The Globe from 5-7 p.m. Half price cocktails, 25 Kc beers, 30 Kc wine and 5 Kc chicken wings.

READINGS

- Poezie Suterén at the famed Cafe Montmartre. Poet Sylva Fischerová reads in both Czech and English beginning at 8 p.m. Řetězová 7, Prague 1.

MOVIES

- Kino Aero is showing a special English-subtitled version of the powerful documentary Katka. From their web site: "Observed for over a decade (13 years), this documentary follows Katka, Lada and Jana through their world of drugs, prison, love and responsibility. They live on the streets in Prague, hustling for drugs, stealing, attempting murder. Lada and Jana end up in prison. Katka ends up expecting a child. Will she manage to overcome this most difficult battle of her life?" At 8:30 p.m. 100 Kc.
