Erm, can anyone tell me where all the events have gone? Did all the promoters go on strike for a day? There's not even anything on at the opera! Maybe stay in then! Or...?

Harvey Milk was gay! The first openly gay US politician, that is. Gus Van Sant's warm, evocative docu-drama captures the spirit of a man on a personal and political mission, and won two Oscars for its efforts. Universally rave reviews here.

Also worth a shot...

New Sounds (Concert)
Gödör [map], 2nd March, 20.00, free
Kvark are a brassy, jazzy click your fingers, swing-your-hips, lick your lips type-thing. Myspace here. Meanwhile, drums is the word for FM ZerO, derbukas, in fact. Sax and bass gives it a bit more melody but aren't really enough to distinguish one song from another. But it's the vibe, man. See if you agree here.

Carmina Burana (Light Show)
LézerSzínház, Népliget(M3) [map] 2nd March, 19:00, 2390Ft (what???)
Carl Orff's most famous piece gets the laser treatment. 26 projectors, 4 computers, 2 watercooled gas-lasers, prisms, filters, hundreds of mirrors and... a CD player. The 1980s have arrived.

Spinning Heads (Concert)
Fészek Művészklub [map], 2nd March
What's better than U2? A U2 tribute band. That way you don't have to look at Bono or The Edge, wanting to smash their smug faces in. (Or is that just me?)
