Brazilians vs. Poles, Hungarians vs. Germans

It's been a while, hasn't it? I was in the mood to post and tell you about this week's Time Out - the front cover has a line about solar-powered sex toys, which I thought lends a whole new meaning to sticking it where the sun doesn't shine, but it turns out they already did a very similar gag in the body of the article. So I was going to aim for something even filthier about Fanny by Gaslight, but couldn't be bothered to make it work.

Let's make a quick move to the cultural high ground instead, and talk about some exhibitions.

Star Power: Three Examples

Three things we saw last weekend, in reverse order:

( Resurrection Blues )

( 36 Quai des Orfèvres )

( Lemming )

So that was our star-studded weekend. Obscurity won hands-down over fame, rodents took centre stage, and I'm still waiting for Kevin Spacey to stage something worth seeing at the Old Vic.

Future Culture: Sublime to Ridiculous

Three events I'm planning on going to. Anyone else interested?

London Beer Festival, 22nd-24th March at Camden Centre in Bidborough Street. Website.

Teddy Thompson in concert at ULU, April 27th (and a tip of the hat to juggzy for pointing out that he was on tour; I've been hooked on Separate Ways for a couple of weeks now). Website.

Nixon in China at the Coliseum. The greatest opera of the 20th century. Website.
