Organised by Siobhan Leyden from Dubai Eye 103.8, Story Night will feature a variety of story tellers sharing a mix of travel tales from Paris to London, of growing up in a small town in Minnesota with the only brunette parents, of acting on a conscious to change perceptions when the world seemed to react against you and many more.

MinD (Made in Dubai) is an art festival organised by DUCTAC that will focus on the emerging talent that live, work and produce art in Dubai. To those that say there is no developing art scene in Dubai, hope this exhibition will change your mind.

Earlier this year, Tashkeel had an open call to artists living and working in the United Arab Emirates to respond to their call for work for their latest exhibition, 'Portrait of a Generation'. They received 148 entries, out of which, 55 artists were selected.

I featured The LXD (Legion of Extraoridnary Dancers) last month and mentioned the 20 minute standing ovation they received after their appearance at TED 2010. We can now see why.
They really are superheroes with superpowers. Maybe they can save the world. The LXD will be performing at the Oscars this Sunday night and I am sure they will rock.
Friday, March 5, 2010 at 10:09PM I stumbled upon this video of the Dubai Metro by Gerald Donovan recently. It shows the journey from Nakheel Harbor and Tower Station to Rashidiya Station - currently the longest journey that can be taken on the Red Line.
Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 10:32PM I am not a fan of Ke$ha and her Tik Tok song, but here's a spoof video and if it was the original video, this song would officially be one of my favourite songs.
Created by Eddie King and Tyler Marshal from Teddie Films, this video is genius, hilarious and super nerdy and Eddie King as Princess Lea is just priceless.
I must also give props to this cute lip dub version of the same song I saw over a month ago made by a group of students from Ateneo de Manila University.

Happy World Book Day! I have not been reading books for a long time, despite the many books stacked in my room that I bought or received as gifts from friends. I do feel bad for not reading regularly and I blame the interweb...
The last book I read was Yoga for People Who Can't be Bothered by Geoff Dyer a few months ago. It was passed on to me by a friend when we were travelling. I like the idea of passing on books after you finish reading them, either by giving it to a friend or to a stranger. It's like an ongoing gift of giving.
So I was glad to hear that the upcoming Emirates Airline Festival of Literature celebrated World Book Day today by announcing a project called the Literary Journey, a mass book sharing initiative across the globe.
