Here is some fresh video for Ides from March, we drank, we rhymed, we roasted a lamb. It was wholesome debauchery as usual. The photos are here for your enjoyment.
Vlad the Inhaler, the local rhyming celebrity, wowing the unwashed masses with his skill and lyrical ability... brace yourself.
Come for Soviet soul beats and elektrofied shanson and stay for the fear of a DUI! But seriously, join us at the Side Door Lounge for another evening of comradery and debauchery. We need a solid turn out so that we can take the place from the capitalist oppressors and return it to the People!
March 8th is upon us. For some of us it has deep, emotional, Freudian meanings, for some it means nothing. If you fall into the second category go read the post below this one and then come out next Thursday to the Side Door Lounge and rejoice. Sweet, ear-pleasing, ass-shaking, women-adoring sounds will be provided by DJ Oleg, and the Greencard DJs. Free entry, spontaneous drink specials, Side Door Lounge ambiance, and hot balkan beats will provide fertile grounds for getting your lady (or some one else's lady) spunk-dunk while proving how much you really care about emancipation. And if you are a lady then this is your holiday, come out and be praised and celebrated.
Thursday, March 8th, 10pm Side Door Lounge [same building as Landmark Diner]
Clara Zetkin, spiritual grandmother of many great revolutionizes of the last century, hung out with Russian revolutionaries in Paris and may have originated Women’s Day.
Celebrated by women of all reputes for a hundred years, International Women’s Day (IWD) is an undying symbol of ultimate penis-envy and desire to equate the unequal. Dorks always had difficulty attracting ladies, in 1909 leaders of the Socialist Party of America declared March 8 International Woman’s Day in a vain effort to get laid more often.
Some say that the real origins lay in the birthday celebration of Clara Zetkin, a major figure in early socialism. It was Paris, sometime prior to 1910, when she and other socialists went rowdy after the party and when confronted by police they explained themselves by saying that they were celebrating IWD. Police still arrested them prompting other socialists to public demonstrations and maybe a bomb or two. This proves that even back in the day Russians were great with making excuses to be drunk and police in the wimpy nation of France is not to be joked with. Be it as it may, back in the day when women entered the workforce in significant numbers they begun to demand rights such as equal treatment under law and voting, March 8 became their day of counting the obstacles to overcome.
In Soviet Union, where all sexes were equally screwed by the system, the day became the equivalent of Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day combined, plus the liquor. In school, boys collected money and prepared small presents for all the girls. They were things like pens and erasers and stuff, all the same of course. Smaller children drew pictures of flowers for their mothers and husbands shaved and abstained from overconsuming alcohol as a sign of respect for their wives and lovers.
Today the holiday is observed by socialists and normal people alike, especially in the Russian territories including temporary-independent nations of Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Latvia and others less significant. Let’s admit it, women have achieved significant gains. Even in dark and dump corners of the world women advanced their interests to the point that would be hard to imagine a century ago. For instance, in Kazakhstan women can now ride INSIDE the bus!
Comrade, celebrate our partners of female persuasion and pretend for a day that they are not only equal but truly superior to us. Bring flowers to your girlfriend and call your mother. Celebrate all things girly but do not give disease a chance.
Our first officious movie censorship. The honor goes to a movie with a misleading title - Russian Dolls (Les Poupees Russes)
Short synopsis: a pathetic 30-something Parisian writer is unable to write or maintain relationships. He ghostwrites autobiographies and soap scripts while trying to find love. His friend is obsessed with a Russian ballet dance, who he eventually marries. If this is not indie enough for you then there are also some French lesbians and Audrey Tatu (Amelie).
The Party does not suggest watching this movie, unless you're courting a high school liberal mademoiselle, but even she might think you're a sissy for liking this self-pity euro chick flick. The only redeeming quality to this film is that your remote has a stop and an eject buttons.
About 25 percent of Russians have had sex while driving, a poll released by KRC Research and Goodyear revealed. And this is just one of the things that make them the worst drivers in Europe.
According to the research, Russians do not use seatbelts, break speed-limits, drive through red lights, drive drunk and have sex while driving much more often than other Europeans do.
According to the poll, 36 percent of Russian drivers regularly cross speed limits. This is the highest rate in Europe, the Delovoi Peterburg newspaper reported. Russians talk on the cell phone while driving more often than drivers in the other 14 European countries polled. About 30 percent of those polled in Russia have driven drunk before.
Russians also do not pay enough attention to their physical condition when they are going to take the wheel. Only 9 percent of those polled in Europe will drive if they don’t feel good in comparison with 23 percent of Russians.
23 percent of drivers in Russia scold others while driving, and another 23 percent can break in centre strip to surpass the other cars. And finally, over 60 percent of those polled in Russia do not check the condition of their tires. Original article over yonder.
As if The Party's online presence didn't already make your day, week, month, and/or year, here's yet another reason to celebrate. Oleg has outdone himself again, and brought Astral Projection to Atlanta for your edification and amusement. This is an officially sanctioned event – many prominent Party members will be there to meet and greet with their subjects.
It took four freight trains of coal, two dirigible accidents, thousands of dinars in bribes, countless human rights violations, and three gallons of petrolium jelly but the unthinkable has happened - The Department of Agitation and Propaganda (Agitate Atlanta) has established an omnipotent web presence.
This radical step into the future will bring on numerous changes to the everyday lives of the plebians and patricians of the diaspora. In our day and age of informatory overload the common man (woman and child) are often bombarded with unnecessary and often adverse particulars.
Don't you often wish that there was an entity that would tell you what to listen to, what to read, how to look and where to go? Of course you do, you were likely to have been born in the former Soviet Union (or during the Regan era). Either way, the nostalgia for those sunny decisionless days is deeply rooted within you. The Department of Agitation and Propaganda vows to fill that void. By delivering only Party Approved information in easy to comprehend bite size pieces, just like your babushka used to make.
You will come here for music reviews, film censorships, mandatory book recommendations, social intercourse and most importantly Department Sponsored Diskotek Event notifications.
