It's International Day of the Jedi today. May the 4th be with you! Ha! Today, people throughout the world celebrate how funny it is to write Jedi on anything official. Religion: Jedi. No, really, I am. I am a Jedi and you can't tell me otherwise.

Béla Ágoston and Frank London (Concert)

Béla Bartók National Concert Hall, MUPA
4th May, 1100 - 3100Ft
Komor Marcell utca 1 [map]
Pest, IX, Boraros tér (T 4,6), 8 min

That's Frank London, right there, with the tiny little trumpet. You may know him from the Grammy Award winning Klezmatics. On his trusty shoulders is tiny little flautist and composer Béla Ágoston. You may know him from the Grencsó Collective and Kampec Dolores.

Either way, Béla looks bigger in real life but sounds just as good.

Tickets and proper information here. Pretty cheap for MUPA too.

Yes, it's another Holocaust film. "Plodding and earnestly morose" or "majestically sombre and always gripping"? You decide. Kate Winslet exposes her ample chest. Reviews here.
