No, we haven’t given up on our awesome
‘Monsters and mythical beings’ series.
Hugleikur Dagsson just suffered a series
of nightlife-related injuries this month that
rendered him unable to illustrate it, so we
decided to just do two next month. And one
of them is Nábuxur (“corpsepants”), so stay
tuned!
Two to be exact. Both had to do with math.
Go figure.
-A three course meal at Pisa should actually
set you back around 3.000 ISK, rather than
our estimated 5.000. Unless you only order
the really expensive stuff and lots of drinks.
-The fabulous bargain prices at Hótel Holt
are only valid on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Other days it’s not such a bargain, but the
food sort of makes up for it.
-That is all.

Lately, I find myself having to wait in line to
get into popular bars and clubs – and paying
the full price for drinks once I finally get in
there. I get the feeling a lot of you doormen
and bartender types out there don’t realise
that I am THE EDITOR OF THE REYKJAVÍK
GRAPEVINE, and just how awesomely im-
portant that makes me.
To make all of our lives easier, I have decided
to forego the usual editorial banter and politi-
cal frustration in lieu of the helpful visual aid
below. Feel free to cut it out and post it in a
prominent location of your establishment –
this way, we all win.
