"You Don’t Piss On Hospitality!"
Free
Harlem, Tryggvagata 22 20:00
There are three things you need to know about Troll
2: it has nothing to do with a previously made movie
named ‘Troll’, there aren’t any trolls in the movie and
no one ever says the word ‘troll’. In fact, no one is quite
sure what the fuck is going on in it! The child actor
from the movie later made a documentary about it
called ‘Best Worst Movie’ to try and figure out what
they were even doing and, more importantly, why are
people loving this movie now! It is so wonderfully bad.
It is piss your pants funny. Just don’t do it on the table.

ADMISSION FREE
Let Your Latin Side Go Loca!
Free entrance, specials on mojitos
Thorvaldsen, Austurstræti 8 21 :00
In the cold and dark of the Icelandic winter, a little
slice of Latin America will definitely help defrost
your joints and improve your movement on the
dance floor. All are welcome at this fun and carefree
evening, whether you’ve never danced in your life
or you can whirl around the dance floor like you’re
fresh out of a Rio ballroom. Teachers are on hand to
give tips and pointers and after the classes end the
music doesn’t stop. For those not feeling so much of
a twinkletoes on the evening then you can sit and
watch or just enjoy the music at the bar. An exciting
way of getting to know new people as well as a bit of
fun, this is the perfect time to spice up an otherwise
dark and cold winter night, Latino style. Olé! JL

THURSDAYS
Paula Prats – Found / Dot
Free
Reykjavík Museum of Photography 10:00
Between two exhibits, there are many ways to look.
Paula Prats creates as many as possible, with games
of broken telephone between the past and present in
her diptych series ‘Found’, and a physically confounding
chain of images with ‘Dot’. Embrace the ordinary, look for
the emptiness, and follow what may seem useless, and
discover that the experience may elevate your under-
standing of the images you see. RL
