Its been a while since I've last time written a post on my personal life here with no self-promo message behind it :) And its been a really great and active weekend here in Moscow, exactly what i needed just few days before leaving back to Vilnius for Christmas. So I decided to share some of it with you.
So it all started with a lecture in the GARAGE - a contemporary culture
center here in Moscow. Sorry, I didn't make any photos there, and its
pretty hard to find some online, so this is all i could get:

| Before culture came to the GARAGE |

| Really nice cafe inside the GARAGE - cozy cozy cozy, well designed details, friendly costs and no complaints on food or service from me. |
I've attended a public lecture/discussion on art and design relation in the lecture-hall, then bought a book that I couldn't leave in a book store - Hieronymus Bosch / Garden of earthly delights/ by Hans Belting, published by Prestel - can't wait till I get a spare hour for it at least in an airport in a week, and then had a cup of coffee with people from the lecture at the Garage cafe, and moved to the Don Jonne pub to celebrate friends birthday and have a drink, some food, and one more drink between silly drunk talks about art, design and life in Russia in general.

And finally, after getting up late after that long Saturday night on Sunday morning, having a slow breakfast, then going for food-shopping, doing some house-work and etc., the TIME FOR THEATER-TRIP IN MOSCOW HAS COME! ta-daaaa!! Finally: saw Chekhov's play 'The Cherry Garden' in the Sovremenik theater (Московский театр "Современник") - classical Russian theater in Moscow - one of my dreams came true finally. Loved the atmosphere, actors, and public - it seems most of the people in the audience knew where they came and what did they come for - saw more than few fans of classical theater - a house full of snobs hating contemporary theater and expressing 'finally no blood and meat on the stage' sort of ideas - could it get any better? :D

So to conclude: Design-talks, Pub, friends, Bosch, Chekhov, and a cup of cacao before Monday. Too good to be true. It reminded me all reasons why I love Moscow so much. Nice way to end a really intense week: glass of bear in one hand and a theater-binocular in other one. Going back to Vilnius in a week.
