European Day
Free!
Eldborg, Harpa 20 :00
European Day is upon us on May 11.
Whether you are for or against the EU, you
will probably appreciate this gig as it is a
double feature. The EU Info Centre brings
us the European Union Youth Orchestra
and the European Opera Centre, conducted
by Laurent Pilot. There is free entry, but
you need to reserve your tickets through
Harpa's ticket office. These are world-class
performers, so lend them your ear. Why?
I don't know. I'm not here to tell you your

Arrested Development Marathon Mondays
Free!
Harlem 22 :00
It’s Monday night. You’ve managed to pull your-
self up out of bed, get dressed, possibly even
comb your hair, and endure a long and gruelling
workday. We’re proud of you, really. Why don’t
you loosen that necktie up and treat yourself to
a long and healthy laugh via Harlem’s Monday
night Arrested Development marathon, keep-
ing its head down and powering through until
the premiere of the long awaited fourth season.
Because nothing says “Steve Holt!” like watch-
ing the Bluth family’s comical demise while
sipping a cold one with your co-workers. Go on
now, you deserve it like a $15 thing of candy
beans. PY
