The Not So Calm After the Storm

Well, I anticipated a nice long and restful weekend for once after all the rallies and protests and vigils. It wasn't meant to be. Work is consistently increasing and never slows down. But I can at least say I had fun. Saturday night was a bit of home in our new home. A group of us rented out a theater space to watch Borat. I haven't heard people laugh that hard in my life. We continued to a new Irish Pub where we felt Irish for the night. There was lots of Guiness and toasting and spontaneous singing going on. Bambir's Nareg came equipt with his guitar and natural speed... seriously, the guy is the most hyper spaz I've ever seen, but a nice guy.

That leads me into the next night. Bambir gave their first real show in Yerevan since May when they left for LA. Stop Club was PACKED and hot and smokey. Blekh. But what a show. Those guys have really taken off and will keep going.

Yesterday was the typical chaotic busy day as usual, but thank God I love my work. We ended the day with a nice evening at the Avant Garde Folk Club for the Trio Bravo, or Bravo Trio... not sure. But they were amazing. I still don't know where they are from... Germany, or Eastern Europe, or something.

Now I'm being nudged to go to see the Time Report at the Folk Club. Remind me again, exactly when do things die down in Yerevan? I don't believe it anymore.

And I leave for Geneva this weekend to do a photoshoot of SoloDuo for the next Pomegranate Music CD production. Looking forward to seeing a new city. :)

Arsineh, what did the Yerevantsis think of Ken Davitian's Armenian dialogue in the Borat movie? I'm curious to know. The movie was banned in Russia.
