"On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned..." But Johnny Cash, to the best of my knowledge, was never in Budapest, where there are other options to consider...

Buda, XI, Petőfi híd (Budai hídfő) (T4/6), 2 min

You've been granted a reprieve! Yesterday's triple-header of female-fronted Dutch and Hungarian bands sold out rather quickly, so they've agreed to play tonight as well! Péterfy Bori, Lolly Jane Blue and Roosbeef, all of whom are much more interesting than Alanis Morrisette and Dido.

There'll be Blood, I tell thee! Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie has has received fantastic reviews and somehow failed to pick up this year's Best Picture award at the Oscars. Not that that means anything.

Lego Exhibition

Duna Plaza, until 30th March, 10:00 - 19:00
Váci út 178, [map]
Pest, XIII, Gyöngyösi utca (M3), 1 min

Lego, as we know it, is 50 years old. It began as a build-what-the-hell-you-want kind of operation and moved on to diggers, electric trains, Star Wars, and now finally, Escher's impossible constructions. Duna Plaza has never been so interesting.
