Kunk, blogga party

Kunk, the monthly indie/electro/bad pop party, is straying slightly from typical form for its February edition. On Saturday, February 16 at Trafo Bar, the spotlight is shifted onto Budapest-based art/fashion/culture/music blogs for a special "2ManyBloggas' night.

In addition to the normal DJ shenanigans, the evening will be punctuated by a live performance of sorts, taking place upon a 'circle of lust'. Within the circle, each participating blog, represented either by a contributor or someone else they pick, will model an item that the blog lusts after hence the name. The result will be a kind of stationary fashion show, except without boundaries, as the items needn't be clothes: they can be works of art, a gadget, a photo in a frame, or simply an individual who they feel embodies what the blog is trying to shed light upon.

Cinetrip Parties. Budapest

Cinetrip parties that were very popular amongst locals and knowing tourists in the end of the 90’s are back.

Held in the traditional bath house these parties offer quite an extraordinary experience. Their theme is the old, black and white and mostly silent movies and contemporary music played by the DJs. And all of this is happening for the guests soaking in the healing thermal pools.
