Hard Rock in Stork

I attended an excellent musical event today. It was a hard rock party in Stork club. Basically, it was the crowd from the forum with all those KSP musicians – Alexander (Doors), Albert, Slava Dyrdine, Tony, Victor, Andrey, etc. There were few new music masters too.

I had an enourmous amount of fun. That is my lousy excuse for not taking a lot of pictures. It was the good thing that I put the camera back into bag as I got pretty drunk by the end of the evening and could easily lose or brake it. But I didn’t. Yey! Hopefully there will be lots of pictures from other people.

Oh, and if we are lucky enough someone might have even caught me on video. Dancing. In the most embarrassing of ways… Told you it was a lot of fun! :)

Alexander

“Alexander” is one of the big time movies of the last year that I missed in the cinema. Olga was in her late pregnancy already when the movie came here and we thought that with all the battles it would be scary for the baby to live through almost three hours of it. So we skipped. Today I got my hands on a copy and watched it.

Sin City in the movies

Since Olga’s 9th month of pregnancy, going to the movies became a very rare occasion for both of us. It still is. But when I saw “Sin City” on a pirated copy at home, I said that there was no chance that I would miss it in the movies.

Today I finally got a chance to see it on the big screen. I went together with Vladimir who I was waiting to return from his vacations in Paphos. And, boy, did we liked that movie!

It was all as good as I thought it would and even better. Size does matter sometimes and this was one of those times. It was great!

Yeah. If you still have a chance to see it in the movies – go watch it. It’s worth every penny.

Now. When is that DVD coming out?
