Valentines Day Bardroom on a blind date with Pilvax
February 9, 2008
What better day for a shotgun wedding between two of the stalwarts of Budapest’s writer scene: the Bardroom’s Valentines Day show will serve as launching pad for the long-awaited new issue of Pilvax magazine. And to make it even kinkier, it’s a sort of literary three-some since the show will be held at Tree-Hugger Dan’s Used Book Shop at its new 2nd location behind the Opera, Lázár u. 16. VI. District, 7:30pm Thursday February 14.
The show will feature readings from two of the contributers to this, the fifth edition of Pilvax. A fiction work by Munich-based American Errol Scott will read by resident impresario Mike Leskai, and up and coming Croatian Nikola Tutek will present his non-fiction piece about Budapest. Furthermore, local celebrity author Adam LeBor will present selections from his long-anticpated WWII thriller Night Hotel.
As always, the audience can expect mind-numbing quiz questions and a ferociously competetive poetry-writing competition all of which will be rewarded with equisite prizes. The evening culminates with a throbbing After-Party starting at 22:30 at the über-underground Vittula (Kértész u. 4, District VII) with music by DJ Sorin Pop.
