My I Want That Flight! Review
Ok, I am a little biased – I have been using this site to book domestic flights for years, so I clearly like it.
The calendar view makes it dead easy to see when the cheapest flights in a month are, and it is also easy to compare flights from one week to the next (not just the next day).
They are now showing International Flights as well. How about Flights to London? There are flights and prices listed for every capital city, and if you choose your origin then there are 6-10 flights listed from that departure city. All flights listed are the cheapest found in the last 24 hours.
I Want That Flight! really does help you get that flight!

Village Festival
Most young Venitians go to the mainland to dance the night away. This year the crowds will be flocking to Marghera for a summer-long festival of music. The majority of the concerts are from local reggae, blues, afro or funk groups but there’s 1980s’ tunes on Saturday, played by the DJs from Radio Venezia, and cabaret on Sunday. Marghera is a bit of an industrial waste land, but the noise ordnance aren’t nearly as strict as in Venice, so the party goes on until the wee hours.

Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack
Vienna’s Jewish Museum hits the spot once more with a fascinating exhibition of the work of Bauhaus graphic artist and colour investigator Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack. While he was at the Bauhaus he made important contributions to the graphic design of the movement’s publications, but his most pioneering work was in the field of reflected light compositions and moving pictures. A device for viewing these compositions – strongly recalling the work of fellow Bauhäusler Lyonel Feininger – has been installed in the museum. Deported to Australia from the UK in 1940 as an ‘enemy alien’, he became an influential force behind art education in the Antipodes.

Britney Spears
Like nature, the teenage pop music industry hates a vacuum. With all quiet on the Spice Girls front, the industry was presented with an intolerable situation. Enter former Mickey Mouse Club ‘Mouseketeer’ Britney Spears, who at the tender age of 17 has gripped the music industry in a headlock worthy of Stone Cold Steve Austin. ‘Baby One More Time’ established her as a mega star, and ‘Oops, I Did It Again’ proved to be an appropriate title as it spent weeks at the top of the charts. She now takes her nightclub Barbie act out on the road, selling out venues across the country.

John Williams’ Movie Memories
He’s the guy who gave us the ‘Star Wars’ theme, the man who made us all jump in our seats when a certain shark sliced through the waters in ‘Jaws’, who made our hearts leap to the action sounds of ‘Indiana Jones’ and who made us cry with the beautiful music to ‘ET’. John Williams, renowned composer and conductor, leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic through his many popular and remarkable film scores. Your favourite is bound to be there.
