If you’re a tardy social butterfly like me, you might not have nailed down your weekend plot. Never fear, Campo is here to save the day. This is the last weekend of February, there is so much going on.
Friday, 27th Feb:
There’s something going down at the Kenyatta University Campsite. EDM EUPHORIA by No Dejays Crew has been called “a rapturous ecosystem” of entertainment, decor & lighting, bars and fun social environments, outdoors. Somebody better take pictures because I would like to see what all that really means. More details at http://www.facebook.com/nodeejayspresentsedmeuphoria
After that early evening rave, you should be in the mood for something more mellow. Take your pick of these four events, each costs just 500/=.
The Caged Bird Sings is a play based on the works of the late great Maya Angelou at the Phoenix Theatre. See their Facebook page for show times.
Head over to the Goethe-Institut Auditorium for some spoken word/soul fusion: The other side of the Mirror with Mufasa, Vereso and the Band.
There will be a Night of Acoustic Music at the Michael Joseph center from 7 pm featuring Christian Lwanda, Ivlyn Mutua, Isaac Kimani among others.
For the movie buffs, Future Shorts Kenya, a global pop up film festival showcasing some of the most exciting short films from around the world is going down at The Bus, #80 Muthithi Road.
If after that you still got it in you, head out for some after-party. It’s Live Band Karaoke Night at the K1 Klubhouse, Karen’s Karaoke Night at the Hilton Jockey Club, Vibetown at BJ’s Bar in Buru and Flashback Fridays at Klub Clique 21 in Nakuru with Solinga Music.
