So… what’s happening this week in sunny Zurich? Well, the city is going to move – not the actual city (I quite like it where it is) – but ZürichTanz is going to get the people of the city moving.

There’s some comedy on tonight, a bit of a happening at the Landesmuseum, and I’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to see Macy Gray.

Thursday: A Spontaneous Night Of Comedy With Russell Peters?
Thus, Fri & Sat: The Landesmuseums Techno Exhibition Goes Live

From May 15th to 18th, Zurich swaps suits for sneakers as Zürich Tanzt takes over the city. The festival is  spread across 19 venues and dozens of locations where you’ll find more than 50 performances, workshops, and spontaneous dance happenings. This year’s must: the Instant Rave which takes place tonight at Rathausbrücke. DJ Elsa Wurzel Ova serves Baile Funk, Dubstep & bass-heavy beats to get you moving—no registration, just come as you are. From ballet to tap, from beginners to pros, everyone’s invited. Check their full programme here, (which mysteriously starts 3 days before the dates on their website.)

With five Grammy nominations, collaborations with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante and Erykah Badu, film soundtracks, and a string of hits, US soul singer Macy Gray’s career has certainly reached some impressive highs — but I’m pretty certain that next Tuesday’s appearance at Kaufleuten will be the very pinnacle of her life as an artist.

Would you like to be part of it? Fancy going to check her out? The wonderful folks at allblues.ch have kindly given me a pair of tickets to give away for her concert this Tuesday. Click the button to find out how to win.

Fortunately, (for me,) there is not much going on on the voting front this time. There are no national votes and a single cantonal vote about the fascinating subject of taxes. There is also a vote regarding the city’s stake in the Airport as well as some new construction projects. Give it a read - whilst i know it’s not the most gripping subject matter you can impress your friends with you sage knowledge of local issues.
