It's time for Pleinopenair!!!

What I consider as the most meaningful event in Brussels comes back this year for 3 big weekend appointments (and 2 smaller midweek)

The pitch is simple: The Nova, an alternative movie theatre from Brussels' downtown organises open air (hence the name;-) screenings of a selection of not-usually-to-be-seen movies. It always takes place in some derelict and/ not widely known parts of town, wastelands being speculated upon (like the Quartier Nord, the Gare du Midi, the Administrative city...)
The movies have possibly a connection with urban issues, socials problems or any psychedelic link...
there are also concerts, performances, a bar and sometimes a restaurant...

so this august the places and the dates are...

fri 01-sat 02
Gare de l'ouest (near the homonymous metro station)
fri 08-sat 09
Quartier maritime (near Tour et Taxis)
fri 15-sat 16
Neerpede (at the outskirts of the city a shuttle will run from the city centre from the cathedral St Michel et Gudule, with the metro it's near the Erasme terminus)

it can be really windy and cold... so bring some warm cloth (even in the summer-you're in Belgium yunno...)

in case of real bad bad weather all is displaced at nova cinema itself...

the 2 "small" appointments are
wednesday 06 "Trattoria Da Gino" nera the north train station
wednesday 13 "123 rue royale", the squatt near teh Botanique neighbourhood

so check the site with all the infos

be there or be square!

ps: please don't shout Tof People! during the projection I won't even react ;-)

Smurf for all!!!

Schtroumpf: the legends tells us that the name was invented by Peyo, the father of those blue gnomish creatures as he couldn't find the appropriate word to ask the salt at a dinner table... ("passe-moi le... euh... schtroumpf...")

Anyway, 50 years after their first appearance in "La flûte à six schtroumpfs" an adventure of Johan et Pirlouït (another serie by the same author), the Smurfs, and their utopian communist society (yes, the sig smurf is Karl Marx) their are still immensely popular by small (and bigger ;-) kids... (even a full 3d film is programmed for the years to come, let's hope it respects the spirit of the serie and that it will not be too commercialized)

So to celebrate their 50th anniversary there is a cool exhibit in the Comics strip museum till the 16th of november... (and it's also the ooportunity to visit this wonderful Art Nouveau buildin)

And I cannot resist to offer you a picture of an iconoclastic collector's relic: the second issue of "Belge, européen et vulgaire" the magazine of the anarchist Jan Bucquoy (yes, him again!) wich speaks (among other interesting themes) of the sexual life of the smurfs!

Tomorrow, 21st of june, to celebrate the first day of the summmer, to bring consciousness about environnmental issues, to promote a less agressive way to move in the city and for lot's of other good reasons, there's cyclonudista!

The idea: riding bikes naked through the ctiy to show people the vulnerability of cyclists in the cities' traffic

the place: place de la monnaie (city center)

the time: 2 pm-4 30pm

bring your bike aund nothing else...

i'll be there to take pictures of course :-)))))))))))))

see you there!

ps: if you shout"Tof people" while you're on the place de la monnaie and if I'm not too ashamed, I'll offer you a special portrait...

ps2: if it's raining, well, hum, I'll offer you a pintje at the Dolle Mol

About love...

"I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."

Alfred Lord Tennyson, "In Memoriam", 1850

For my part I would just add that each time I've tried to fight against myself, I simply lost...
