22/03/08

It's Saturday night, the Discovery channel is showing something dreary about cross-stitching but there's no need to sit around watching wool. So why don't you turn off the TV, go out, and do something less boring instead?

Pillow Fight (Event)

16:00, free


Yes, I think you heard me right. It's international pillow fight day and Hungary is leading the world, with fights in Pécs, Székesfehérvár, Szombathely and, of course, Budapest. The best way to meet new people is to hit them unexpectedly from behind, although there are rules: 1. You do not talk about Pillow Fight; 2. You do not hit anyone without a pillow...

Incisions, transitions, monsters and nudes... an exhibition and tea by day; performance and party by night and what's more... you're invited! The kind of thing you've heard about but never know where it's happening. Well, now you do, nudge, nudge, wink, wink!

The Guardian called Jason Reitman's new teenage pregnancy comedy a happy pill. Worth seeing apparently, if only for the performance of Ellen Page - it's 'pure cinematic Prozac.' (Trailer here).

Second to last chance. But be warned, it's not that big. And the shit machine smells pretty bad if you catch it at the wrong time. The Gothic truck though, is rather impressive. Tattooed pigskins, a video of pigs, the truck and the shit machine, that's about it but if you like your art controversial, it might be worth the risk.

He was 98 pounds of solid nerd until he became…THE TOXIC AVENGER! The first superhero from New Jersey! Well this one's straight outta Paris, actually, but Rolling Stone magazine held him partially responsible for the resurgence of house breaks and electro rhythms in their end-of-year who's who. But who is he?
