It’s always delightful to start a post with breaking news, so here we go: the lava hot dog is back. It is less delightful not to be able to provide photographic evidence, but our sheer joy at encountering the sublime food item combined with a devastating hunger made us realize only too late that, before…

Sziget Around the Corner
It already feels a lot like Sziget, as the first people have started moving in over the weekend and are roaming around the city to take in the sights- great occasion to have a first glimpse at how this year’s bracelets will look. Which is of course totally relevant and useful information. And as we wait for…
Tales from the Seventh Month
Since July is the seventh month, here’s seven things I learned (well not, not really, I never learn) this month. 1) No matter what I do, I always get delayed with the monthly random, because I am doing random stuff instead. Maybe it will work better in winter, when instead of randomly freezing…
Bits and Pieces of a Budapest Summer
I might have touched upon the lazy co-photographer of the blog previously, although he has somewhat objected to being labelled so, yet is too lazy to protest forcefully. He has however spent some time sorting through his July (and as per our joint observations, late June) shots and here they are in all their splendour….
Budapest Essentials: Katy B
Upon my arrival at the Margitsziget main stage, I was greeted by two slightly traumatic events: the intense smell of onion and a loud group of slightly drunkish and obviously sunburned Brits. The two sensory attacks then united with said Brits consuming the source of the onion stench, namely the kenyérlángos which later proved to…
Budapest Essentials: Blahalouisiana and Austra
Last weekend Budapest Essentials turned two, kind of the festival version of ’that difficult second album’, and well, it was difficult. For a still small-ish and unestablished festival it’s bad enough if one headliner cancels, but Essentials had the misfortune of seeing both La Roux and Duke Dumont pull out in the last hours before…
Harcsa Veronika & Gyémánt Bálint @Puskin u. 15
The fact that Budapest’s courtyards hide many secrets may not be a secret to many .(My excuse for this horrible pun is Monday, of course.) Usually you need to be on the lookout for them, eyes wide open, and maybe just maybe you stumble on one. But sometimes, quite rarely, to be frank, the secrets…
May Random #2
Not necessarily chronologically the second part of May, because procrastinating also has the blessed side effect of creating confusion, and I might have mixed up the folders just a little. The essence is the same of course- it’s spring, I drink coffee here and there and occasionally take sweeping shots of a Danube skyline, because…
The Island when it’s not the ISLAND- Spring Edition
So now the Island pretty much looks the part- though, of course, by mid August the sun will have burnt the greens into submission. We even found the Csónakház open, so we could soak up the sun with some beers in tow, which is of course a very Sziget feeling if there was any. The…
April Random #1
There’s no more connecting these shots than the fact that they were taken in Budapest, in April (though I have a slight suspicion the first might be from March).April is that time of year when you can’t trust the temperature much, so some were taken with my fingers frozen to the camera, and some in…
