Concert
 
 

Too young for Woodstock: Oh, to have visited the legendary festival - with nothing but a smile on my face and a flower in my hair… Instead I'll be at Hallenstadion (probably in the same outfit!) to watch 60s icon Neil Young, who's called "the Godfather of Grunge" nowadays. He's accompanied by his Electric Band. Tickets available from the box office on the night.
Thursday, 8 pm Hallenstadion

 
 
 
Party On
 

Thursday is: officially Zurich’s favourite night to party, or so I'm led to believe. DJs Atomic Nick & Le Frère create a buzz at Hive with their Neon night (electro, powerpop, ghetto tech) and Zukunft hosts Dosci (italdisco, electroboogie) with DJs Nenad J and John Player.
Thursday, 11 pm Hive & Zukunft

 
 
 
Exhibition
 
 

Sought-after satire: was Saul Steinberg’s speciality. His black humour and sense of the human condition led to his posters being hung on walls all over the world. The artist was an illustrator for leading newspapers and magazines - most notably the “New Yorker”.

22 August–2 November, Kunsthaus
Kunsthaus Zürich

 
 
 
Benefit Gig
 

96 Degrees/Leaving Fear Behind: The globe’s heating up and tempers are flaring. Watch the film Leaving Fear Behind, then join Dubversive Sound, Chiqui Dubs, DJ Seek, DJ Deuce and DJ Lexx for hip hop, dancehall and reggae. Proceeds go to the Gu-Chu-Sum Organisation, which helps political prisoners in Tibet.

Saturday, 11 pm Besame Mucho

TV
 
 Film: Even if you don't like country, Walk The Line is a brilliant and moving work about Johnny Cash 's life - featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. If you have Second Audio Program on your TV you can watch in English.
Sunday, 8 pm SF2
 
 
 
Party on
 
Cool Monday: If you're still recovering from the weekend it's sometimes best to cure a hangover with another night out! Every Monday Mascotte offers jazz, funk and soul from the 60s and 70s. Take it easy.
Monday, 11 pm Mascotte
 
 
 
Good to know
 
 Swimming: Though the summer seems to be coming to an end, there'll certainly be another day or two of surpisingly hot weather when you're tempted to go for a swim. Lake or river - that's the question? Tiefenbrunnen is one of the most relaxing lidos if you choose the right corner, perhaps not right next to the children's playground... Enge has the advantage that it's at the lake but very central and becomes a chilled out bar - often with music - in the eve. Pier West belongs to the Obere Letten and offers shade during the day, while the other side is crowded with sun worshipers. Further down the Limmat you'll find the Untere Letten with bath huts and plenty of diving points for adrenalin junkies.

Eating
 
Greek cuisine: The Greek locale with the name Mythos is mostly called "de geil Griech" - which is a compliment - because it offers tasty Greek specialities and fast service at a very reasonable price.
Mythos, Stauffacherstrasse 23

Wanted: Irish or English guy :Hello guys! Recently I saw „P.S. I love you“ and was totally amazed by the charming irish men in this movie. Shortly after that I visited a swiss friend of mine (who fell for an irish guy) in Galway and was absolutely fascinated: I decided that Ireland is my new favourite country in Europe. So I thought it might be really nice to date a funny and charming guy that comes from around this region but happens to live in Zurich. If you are also smart, slim and not taller than 1.80 you definitely have to write me back – with photo please!I am dark-haired, small, feminine, sporty, smart, funny and very active with lots of interests. Can guarantee that you will not get bored!Looking forward to read from you!Chouchou
