Roundup: Tuesday Boozeday




It's Tuesday! That means you're over 48 hours removed from your last hangover, and have probably totally forgotten about all those promises never to drink again. It's kind of like how women forget enough about the pain of childbirth to go through it again. Worst metaphor ever?

DRINKS

-Top of my list on Tuesdays, because I'm a chick, is Sangria night at Bukowski's bar. The quality is 'meh' but why look a gift booze in the teeth? And boys, this one's actually worth it, because chicks actually DO show up, and they DO get drunk. I'm speaking from experience! See ya'll there!!! 7-10 p.m. Bořivojova 86, Prague 3-Žižkov.

MOVIES

-Kino Aero, the cinema for hipsters, is showing Harold & Maude. From their web site: "Harold is a depressed, death-obsessed 20-year-old man/child who spends his free time attending funerals and pretending to commit suicide in front of his mother. At a funeral, Harold befriends Maude, a 79-year-old woman who has a zest for life." In English, with Czech subtitles, 92 minutes and 90 Kc. Starts at 6 p.m.

-If movie listings are too pedestrian for you, then agree to a blind date with Kino Aero. At 8:30, they're playing a movie, but they're not saying what it is! Entrance is 0 crowns, and you pay after if you deem it acceptable. This is riskier for non-Czech speakers, as movies are shown in original versions with Czech subtitles, so uni-linguists be warned.

-If you haven't seen a movie in Lucerna's gorgeous theater, here's your chance! Playing at 6:30 p.m. is Pouta (Pictured above) a Czech film-noir set in 1982 by film maker Radim Spacek. Main character Antonín is a member of the secret police, and struggles with all the difficulties I would imagine comes along with being a member of the secret police. 115 crowns.
