"A 'Tackling Migraine Together' meeting will take place on Saturday 16th May 2009 between 9:45 am and 2:30 pm at Franciscan International Study Centre, Giles Lane, Canterbury. Anyone with an interest in migraine is welcome." Sorry fellow sufferers. Make it worse with one of these...

Exit Street Festival 2009

Gödör, 16th May, 12:00 till late, free
Erzsébet tér [map]
Pest Centre, VI, Deák tér (M1/2/3), 1 min

2-day free festival, anyone? 4 stages in and around Gödör carry allsorts: the Liszt Ferenc Academy Youth Orchestra, acoustic sets from local bands (Major, Suhancos, Jacked, The Kolin) and full sets from Belmondo, Bankos Band and Neo, later on.

There's also a WAMP design market in Erzsebet tér with around 100 designers peddling original art, clothing, and jewellery, with kids activities to boot.

Also worth knowing about...

Smárton Trió (Concert)
Lampás, 21:00
The Smárton Trió play a summery mix of jazz, blues, rock, pop and folk to brighten up the basement.

Day of the Museums (Festival)
National Museum [map]
The National Museum hosts events in the garden, with over 100 museums from around Europe represented. Without a doubt there'll be arts, crafts, folk music, artists hocking their wares, and plenty of other things for the family. Also on tomorrow.

Karl Marx Lecture
Trafó [map], 19:00, free
It's Saturday night, and if you're anything like me, you're probably wondering what exactly we can learn from Marx about work and richness in the capitalist system. If only there were some kind of lecture on. In Hungarian? Well why the hell did Trafó bother to translate their blurb into English?

Odysseus (Theatre)
Trafó [map], 22:30, 1600Ft
Also at Trafó tonight, also in Hungarian, is a performance of Odysseus: the drum 'n' bass rap-opera version that the Greeks loved so much. Might be worth it for comedy value. Details here.
