In honor of the melted snow, I bring you this Prague still life.
No more snow all over the streets. Only a few random blocks of grody, black ice that miraculously survived the warm temperatures. As my friend George rightly pointed out, we are now discovering that snow in Prague was mostly made up of dog poo and cigarette butts. But like this sweater, this winter is soooo passé.
So let's celebrate, shall we???!!!
FRIDAY:
- Nosh nosh nosh... It's All You Can Eat ravioli night at Gallery Hunger, and their chef once rocked my socks off with the best lasagna I ever had, so I bet this is gonna be deelish. The ravioli are stuffed with cheese and served with brown butter and sage. I'm starting to salivate. Starts at 8 p.m., runs till 11 p.m. and it's only 99 Kč. Best of all, it's BYOB.
-After, why don'tcha walk through lovely Riegrak and check out local indie musician Toby Williamson with Nina Cartier at The Royal Oak, for free music in the neighborhood. 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
MORE MUSIC:
- Two gigs in Vršovice, one at the very lovable nano café, a tout pétit venue but a lovely one. It's a Turpentine Ray playing. They like whacky instruments like cellos and banjos and sweet folk sounds.
- Around the corner, the Czech Inn has a happy hour from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. with 20 Kč budvars, and at 8 p.m. a band called sorry, michigan is performing there.
MOVIES
-Yeah, this movie, Antichrist, it's, ah, it's not a walk in the park. Unless genital mutilation is typical of your park walks. The Prague Post's film critic and close personal friend James Walling called it "genuinely sick," and when James Walling calls something sick you better believe it, because he's a twisted dude. Just kidding James! 90 Kc, 6 p.m. Kino Aero.
-The beautiful Lucerna theater is showing New York, I Love You at 6:30 p.m. followed by an 8:45 showing of Michael Moore's Wall Street takedown, Capitalism: A Love Story. I see what you did there, Kino Lucerna. 115 Kc
SATURDAY:
FOOD:
- I dunno bout you, but I love a brunch on Saturdays, when I shouldn't be allowed near hot water and knives before 2 p.m. anyway, so Banditos read my mind with their newly introduced brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can mix and match items like buttermilk pancakes, omelettes, home-made hash browns and more. Also features two for one bloody marys and 35 Kč mimomas.
MUSIC:
- Hush Café is having a Jamaican Lounge event, so if you like happy reggae sounds and dancing, it's prolly the place to be between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m.
-The Royal Oak is having a blues show at 8p.m. with blues veterans Rene Trossman and Eric Stanglin, if you're into that kind of music.
-Das Pop, a pop band from Belgium, are playing a free show at Meet Factory, that is also re-launching its new look that night. I have no idea what they sound like, but a chance to see any band with "das" in the title for free sounds aight to me.
-And if you wanna have a club night, SaSazu, possibly Prague's weirdest venue, is having an "Indecent Upstanding Urban Party" at 10 p.m. featuring sexy ladies, a DJ that seriously goes by the name DJ Black Jesus and the usual mix of sweat, booze and thereby induced bad decisions. Gail Whitmore, Prague's one and only human jukebox, will be singing back-up! Their website is a nightmare and did not have any entry fee information. Seriously, fuck their website.
MOVIES
-Kino Aero is showing two films tonight, the Czech documentary Katka with English titles and the American Black Dynamite. Katka plays first at 6:00, and doesn't sound like the most uplifting film, so catching Black Dynamite at 8:30 might make for a good chaser.
-Lucerna again does New York, I Love You! at 1:45, and Capitalism: A Love Story at 3:45 p.m. 115 Kc.
SUNDAY:
- Sunday, Sunday. Lovely day to stay at home day in my book. Make yourself some bagels, a cup of coffee and then spend the day in bed watching videos, reading and making love to your hand or significant other.
-If you're more cultivated than that, go and see Frantíšek Matoušek's brilliant exhibition at DOX. He paints on denim and his paintings are really worth checking out.
MOVIES
-Lucerna shows New York, I Love You! at 2, 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. with one showing of Capitalism: A Love Story at 8:45 p.m. Kc.
UHHH...
-I was under the impression that the official Month of the Moustache was in November (Movember), but according to these dudes, it's February. Well thank god, because you can never have enough mustaches (absolutely not true). Tonight they're having the sixth annual awards for the best one, and some other unintelligible events, for example:
"An exclusive reportage and the winner of the second year of February moustache from Žilina, Slovakia. The bar will be tended by Jede Frau which will definitely be fine."
On second thought, this sounds awesome. Starts at 8 p.m. 140 Kč. Branická 41, Prague 4.
