T. G. I. F. baby!!!

Can you feel it? Don't you want to jump up in the air like you just don't care? This is a blessed day, indeed. So, all together now, exhale deeply almost like you want to suck all the air in the room and from everyone's lungs and shout: THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!!


There are lots of activities and parties tonight. But, due to the rain most of you might be snuggling up to a hot cup of cocoa and watching a DVD. That's cool. But, you better get your lazy asses up tomorrow because there are a lot of events taking place...

...Saturday, 18th October 2008.

The day starts off at 10am with RECLAIM THE WORLD held in our beloved capital city, Valletta, right in the middle of Freedom Square. According to the site:-


Reclaim the World is an activity which Moviment Graffitti annually organises to raise awareness on global issues such as poverty, exploitation and environmental destruction. Its aim is to show that because of the present political and economical world-system, few corporations and big interests are making huge profits at the expense of the majority of the persons in the world. However our main message is that another world is possible, only if we fight our battles for equality and social justice.


The event will feature various NGOs and debates or discussions on world issues all through the day, the main talks taking place at 10am and 11.30am. Finally, at 7pm a live concert will be held with the participation of local bands BNI, Organised Disorder, Subculture and Brazillian artist Edoardo.

After lending a hand in world issues you have two hours to scoot back home, shower, get dressed, eat a sandwich and head out to one of three places.

You can either:-

1. Go back to the City and visit Velo Lounge at Lo Squero for SPOTS AND STRIPES - Indie Pop Night 4 extraodinaire, hosted by Dj Bob featuring G for Gustav. The dress code is Spotty or Stripey clothes (girls encouraged to bring lollipops and spotty hair clips too) and as Bob says 'I like to keep thing simple'. So just show up, pop €2 in a tin can and pop-pop-indie-pop the night away!



2. Or head down to Sliema to attend ESPIONAGE 60's and deep house night at Escape Club (formerly Dukes). These nights are highly successful and are running nine years strong. This is an underground event with modern elements mixed with old-school soul and projectors. Tickets €6.




3. Or go up to Molecule Club in Rabat for Soul-Furik 8 feat. Mahoney, Ziggy and Luc Adams.

After attempting to recover from your hangover on Sunday morning you can take a pic-nic basket and skip down to your favourite grass patch in the numerous valleys or fields around Malta. I reckon today's rain is going to make everything fresh and lively. If nature basking isn't your thing, however, you can continue the party at the newly opened Sidewalk in Sliema (ex-Chequers). I passed by today and it looks really inviting. Definitely, a brighter entrance than Chequers was. Music provided by Luc Adams and Ziggy.


So there you have it! TGIF and TGITW (Thank God It's The Weekend) in all it's glory.


Enjoy! xxx
