Muzine party in Thessaloniki - the photos!

The Muzine party - in co-operation with Highlights magazine - was a great success in Thessaloniki. We had lots of fun, the music was great (thanks to Indictos, Nektarios and *blush* me) and the drinks kept coming until the wee hours of the morning. The people of Nikis 35 were of course an integral part of the success of the whole event. We met old friends, made new ones and promised to repeat it as soon as possible. We missed some people who could not come but we hope to see them in a future event. No more talk: here is a selection of photographs from the party. Till next time!






























Photos by me and MissTati - such a talented photographer!

Muzine party in Thessaloniki - 30/05/2008 - and Muzine 4 is out too!

This Friday (30/05/2008 at 22:30), Muzine magazine is throwing a party for it's Thessaloniki friends at Nikis 35 café-bar, with the co-operation of Highlights magazine. Some of the magazine writers (Elafini, Aggelos, Enteka, Nektarios) will be there to share their music knowledge with us, and also hit the decks too, along with the other usual suspects! We expect some serious fun here people! Of course everyone is invited!

Meanwhile, the 4th issue of Muzine has hit the streets: having just finished reading it (it was delivered personally into my hands by the publisher no less), I must say it is one of their best issues so far. Some of the interviews, reviews and articles are exceptional: Soti Triantafyllou (famous Greek writer) writes about concerts that have marked her life, Enteka about Lena Platonos, Elafini has an interview with Trouble Over Tokyo (with a special review by Markos Fragkos). Also illustrations by the talented T-drom, Dustroad (for Soti no less) and Pan Pan (for Enteka's R.E.M. piece). And to cap it all a very interesting conversation of the writers about "alternative" or "indie" music scene, with additional comments by music insiders such as Mixalis E. and veteran music writer Argyris Zilos. Do not miss it!!! It will also be on sale at the 5th International Book Fair of Thessaloniki - check out Haramada Publications at Stand 64, Pavilion 13.

Update 30/05/08: unfortunately Aggelos, will not be joining us.

Muzine Party 01.02.08

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Muzine party, open for all readers and friends last Friday night at Ianos Cafe. It was a delicous affair, with the weather helping a lot, and people arriving in great mood, to meet up close and personal with the people who makethis particular magazine so special. Some of the editors played their music selections for us, which was one of the best gifts they could give us (although some of them were too lazy to do it themselves ;-)...). There were lots of interesting and beautiful people attending, not only friends but also readers who came to show their gratitude and support to this special endeavour, although some of the Ianos personnel made their very best to ruin the experience (but didn't). My personal thanks to Nektarios Lambropoulos (the publisher) for inviting me and organizing this along with Ianos, and of course to my friends in Muzine: Eleni, Markos, Makis, Aggelos, Maria, Manolis and the rest of the gang: you're the best, keep going! Next stop, Thessaloniki!

Yours truly with Eleni Mitsiaki (who writes beautifully for Muzine) and Cartoon Dandy-Yiannis Tsioulis (who writes beautifully for other magazines).

Natascha, Emanuela & Margarita looking lovely!

I am repeating the invitation here, to make sure all participating bloggers see it:since I'll be in Athens for the weekend, why not all of us 2007 Top-20 countdown bloggers join Elafini and me in Nixon, on Saturday, after midnight. We can talk about music, enjoy the great environment and music (by none other than dear Makis Papasimakopoulos) and have lots of fun! Let me hear what you think!

2007 TOP-20 Countdown - Open invitation to party!

I'm a bit behind posting the countdown due to a trip abroad (more about this on a later post) so I will continue right away. First though an idea that came to me during a discussion with another countdown blogger and a dear friend, Elafini: since I'll be in Athens for the weekend, why not all the participating 2007 Top-20 countdown bloggers join Elafini and me in Nixon, on Saturday, after midnight. We can talk about music, enjoy the great environment and music (by none other than Makis Papasimakopoulos) and have lots of fun! Let me hear what you think!

"Next time I'm going to Nixon!"
