Arena Mladost Cinema

~ Veselin ~ 3 Comments

I saw a rumor published that Arena Mladost is going to open again. Decided to check if there’s any signs of construction around the cinema.

Unfortunately, it looks as if the Zombie Apocalypse happened a decade ago.

I’d say this building is unlikely to open as a cinema. It’s unfortunate because it was a favorite spot for our family before Covid. It has a nice location and a very promising plot of land. Not sure why nobody bought it yet. It could become a great event center for conferences, trainings and so on. Maybe just not a cinema.

Dancers in Sofia

Young people use the reflection of the large glass windows to practice dancing.

I like how the new generation can make the environment their own in unusual ways.

This is the Largo area – The Cabinet with the large glass windows is on the left, The Parliament in the middle, and The Presidency to the right, with some roman ruins covered with glass domes in the middle.

Adrian Tchaikovsky in Sofia

I made it to the book signing with Adrian and got my copy of Children of Ruin signed. Big thanks to the publisher for putting these events together, helps a book blogger gain some good memories, photos, and posts.

The event kicked off with a panel exploring just how alien aliens can be, which was fun and thought-provoking. What would a spider say to a human if the spider communicates by pulling strings? Why haven’t you all read Octavia Butler?After that, we had a short game, a Q&A session, and finally the signing itself.

I’m really glad I got the chance to attend. It was memorable!
