I Wish I May
Welcome to the merry month of May! Welcome to the month where everything seems to blossom, from the figurative blossoming of love and sensuality to the more literal blossoming of flowers (bringing misery, unfortunately to those with hay fever...) and their kin. The days seem a bit brighter, people (except for those poor allergy sufferers) seem happier, and the days seem longer (well, maybe that’s because they actually are).

It’s the thought of love and sensuality that induced us to bring you the art of Dorothy Iannone, who, even as she moves into her seventh decade of life, continues to celebrate love, passion, and sensuality.

We also include for your pleasure an interview with the Alvik, a look at the phenomenon that is MySpace, and our usual collection of thoughts and reviews of art, restaurants, books, music, and anything else that comprises the Prague scene today.

May also marks the moment that the dance scene really starts to get hot, and this year is no exception; mark your already busy calender for the Chemical Club party, Paul van Dyk’s arrival, the Elektra party and all the other great events you’ll find listed herein.

Finally, just to get you out of your apartment and out and about, we’ve included a coupon for a 20 CZK discount to the Museum of Communism, where you can commune with Lenin and study the sublime beauty of Josef Stalin and Leonid Breznev. Speaking of sublime beauty, the Czech Police have yet again shown the beauty of their thought and method with the severe beating one of their members visited upon Green Party candidate Katerina Jacques at a recent anti-fascist protest. While ignoring the provocations of the fascists, the police were quick to apply old-time tried and true techniques on Jacques, yet again demonstrating their inability to understand their purpose at public events. What the government will do about this attack remains to be seen, but don’t hold your breath. So, enjoy the long days of summer, find that special someone(s) to frolic with around the maypole, and stay away from the police!
