State of Emergency makes no difference for some

March 14th, 2008 by anush


The State of Emergency continues, and right on Freedom Square Astral Club continues its parties. It seemed strange to me in the beginning, but the organizer of the Rock on Thursday parties Narek Bakhtamyan told me things for him continued just the same as before.
Also, this week a new pub The Beatles Blackbird opened, and I post some photos from the opening night.
The new Beatles pub opened a couple of days ago, and the Bambir band played at its opening. The pub is on Pushkin street in the centre of Yerevan and for me personally is a place I was waiting for, especially that the bloggers’ favorite place, the Shamrock pub, was closed these days for some reason.
