Monday has a pretty poor reputation the world over, but ever since reading our own events listings, I've felt a lot better about it. The more you read thehub, in fact, the better you'll feel. It's a fact. You'll feel even better if you tell everyone you know just how wonderful thehub is. Love thehub; love yourself. x

Filmed between 2005 and 2007 in Ecuador, Mexico, the Congo and Cambodia, Ferenc Moldoványi follows the lives of seven children, for whom hardship and exploitation is reality. It's not easy viewing but it does shed some light on some of the darker corners of the world.

Almássy utca 1 [map]
Pest, VII, Blaha Lujza tér (M2, T4/6), 5 min

Live music from Camea tonight (like camera, without an 'r'), but if you're expecting this kind of Garage Rock, you'll be disappointed. The music on Camea's myspace is female-fronted, mid-tempo, middle-of-the-road rock. Check their page out! (they've only had 639 profile views).

With their Oláh gipsy/latin/balkan combination, these guys are undeniably fun - just check out "My dog's leg hurts" for proof. The last album was called "Folklore beats you up" but don't fight it, feel it.
