Tomorrow it’ll be the almost-weekend. If you are counting down the days that is. I sure am, since it looks like this may be the first weekend with decent weather in a while!
For a little mid-week pick-me-up, try this:
SOUNDS:
- 7 p.m. Open Mic night at the Royal Oak (Anny Letenské 18). This tends to be a good time and it ends at 10 p.m. because of a curfew, so it's good weeknight fun.
-10 p.m. Blind Eye (Vlková 26) is having a "Be Your Own DJ" event. Sign up to DJ is at 8 p.m. and as the name says, you get to DJ (for five songs, and you need to bring your own MP3 player or laptop)
RITZY AND WEIRD:
- A Chinese New Year and First Anniversary Celebration kicks off at Buddha Bar (Jakubská 8) ay 7:30 p.m. Umm, if you don't mind that the Year of the Tiger started over a week ago on February 14 and that it’s 988 Kč to get in, this may be one for you. The dress code is “chic” (hint: that means you cannot wear your Juicy Couture sweat suit). If you're liquid enough to blow that kind of money on a pawty, you get free finger food, wine and beer all night, and the event coordinator told me there was going to be “ a fashion show and plenty of other surprises.” I'm picturing men in tiger versions of the popular elephant thong, but maybe I just have a vivid imagination...
ARTSY:
- From the facebook description of the event:
"We are delighted to invite you to the vernissage of the exhibition of Damien Mitchell - australian streetartist who lives in Prague. In this exhibition Damien will present his new artworks created with a stencil technique that is so typical for streets of cities today. You can see Damien's artworks in the streets of Prague, Melbourne, Berlin or Kiev." The event starts at 7 p.m. at The Chemistry Gallery ( U Kanálky 4), with live music (Steve Beatsmith) from 20:30.
BOOZE:
- Happy Hour from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Hush Café ( Lublaňská39), granted, this one’s only for teachers and students, but Hush Café is a nice little refuge in the relatively ugly I.P. Pavlova area and it’s quiet and mellow in the early evening.
MOVIES:
- If you still like Mel Gibson post-Passion of Christ and are in the mood for a thriller, Edge of Darkness is showing at the very cool Kino Atlas (Sokolovská 1) twice tonight, at 6:30 or 8:30 p.m.. Tickets are 119 Kč, English with Czech subtitles
- 7 p.m. Prorok (A prophet) at the French Institute (Štěpánská 35). If you can follow Czech subtitles at all or if you are fluent in French, this movie is one to not miss. A brutal but captivating prison drama that manages to raise some really interesting moral questions. It's France's submission to the Academy Awards, y'all! Tickets are 80 Kč, French with Czech titles.
- Modern day Blaxploitation flicks are hard to come by, so you really should go and check out Black Dynamite before it's too late. For example tonight at 7 p.m. at Kino Evald (Národní 28). Tickets are 99 Kč, English with Czech subtitles
- 9 p.m. "Up in the Air" is a good bet for all the ladies who are still crushing hard on George Clooney, anyone who liked "Thank you for smoking" and anyone who appreciates an easy-to-follow, entertaining story to make your middle of the week a bit more enjoyable. It's showing at Kino Evald (Národní 28), tickets are 99 Kč, English with Czech subtitles
