We at The Reykjavík Grapevine care about a lot of things.
Three, to be exact. Drinking, eating, and fun events, to be
even more exact. We get excited about all the things we care
about, and we like to extend our care and excitement to our
smartphones. We made Appy Hour to keep tabs on all of
Reykjavík's happy hours (ushering in a veritable Golden Age
of slightly less expensive afternoon drinking!), Craving is for
the restaurants we've reviewed and recommend, and now
we finally have an app for that third thing we like (partying
and/or artying). It is called Appening, and it is amazingly
useful (honest)!

WHAT'S APPENING
TONIGHT, REYKJAVÍK?
21
As any downtown music fan or arts aficio-
nado will attest, there is always a lot going
on in Reykjavík (too damn much, some-
times), and often it can be hard to pick ex-
actly where to go and what to see (or even
gain somewhat of an overview of what's
going on). Appening makes your entire
life easier by displaying exactly what is go-
ing on on whatever day you fire it up. This
includes every single exhibition, concert,
and “other”-type event happening in 101
Reykjavík. And since we are a simple, styl-
ish people, these events are presented in a
stylish, simple manner.
Here's how it works:
Go download the app to your iOS
device (an Android version is
forthcoming)
Fire it up [via a handy icon on your
home screen]
BE BLOWN AWAY by all those
today events you now are aware of
Whoa! You can also narrow down
the gargantuan list of events to
only “music” or “art” using one of
those virtual buttons that come
built in with the app
If you go and push the little star
outline (there's one on every single
event), that event will be saved for
later in a handy tab (it is called “the
starred tab”)
Events that we deem particularly
noteworthy for some reason (it's
probably a concert by our cousin's
friend Einar tbh) appear at the top
of the screen
Also, check it out: we magically send an
updated list of events to your phone ev-
ery morning (we also know where you
live), so you don't need to bother with
any manual updating or calling us up to
remind us about updating your Appen-
ing app. Nope, no manual updating for
you, busy modern person, all you gotta do
is just rev up Appening, browse around
and make a somewhat informed decision
about where to get shitfaced tonight while
pretending to enjoy culture (note: Appen-
ing also features daytime events, for busy
modern persons who like to get shitfaced
during daytime).
Go download the app called Appen-
ing! Do it right now! Appening is great!
Appening will bring about some much
needed positive change in your life. You
will be healthier. Cute boys will follow
you around. Cute girls will also follow you
around! You will take up yoga. Dogs will
shout at you (the dog greeting)! Birds will
hover around your head, forming a neat
a halo of birds! Your Kickstarter cam-
paign will at long last take off! All of your
wrinkles and blemishes will experience a
constant state of terror and flee your body
forever, ensuring eternal youth. You will
know all about the events. You will get a
second wind and finally finish that docu-
mentary you've been working on! Cel-
ebrated local rappers will call you up and
invite you to help them make fun, poten-
tially viral internet videos where the two
of you make adventurously flavoured ice
cream! If you go whale watching, whales
will watch you back with their giant whale
eyes! The Huffington Post will offer you a
position as a paid blogger! You will gain
the ability to pause time whenever you feel
like it (just like Evie Ethel Garland, noted
protagonist of noted 80s hit sitcom 'Out
Of This World’)! You will know all about
events. A man named Björn Ingi Hrafns-
son will attempt to purchase you! You will
develop empathy. The rich inventor man
Elon Musk will attempt to harness your
powers! You will know all sixteen levels
of karate. You will become an expert in
events. Your face skin will smoothen up.
No more tears! You will know all about the
cool bands! Your beard will shine! Your ar-
tisanal pizza will glisten! You will never
again miss an Icelandic troubadour's ren-
dition of celebrated U2 hit single “One.”
You will finally feel alive.
Yes! All of this can and will happen
to you (yes, you!) RIGHT NOW! All you
need to do to get things going is this. You
must visit Apple’s not-at-all monolithic
App Store and enter the the word “Appen-
ing” and/or the word “Grapevine” in the
search field.
