There’s more to The Smiths than Morissey and Johnny Marr, as any true fan would know. Without bassist Andy Rourke’s drive, classics like “This Charming Man” and “Pretty Girls Make Graves” just wouldn’t be quite the same. Now, Popscene has pulled off a coup by bringing in Rourke to take over the decks at the recently rocking Wine Bibber. On sale at the event will be two exclusive Italian craft beers:  L’Olmaia La5 and L’Olmaia La9.

Spend your Sunday afternoon shopping for a good cause. At the city center near the National Stadium, the spacious façade of the Lub D Siam Hotel will welcome art lovers and hippies-at-heart to peruse art pieces, handicrafts and other artisanal
wares for sale, and enjoy home-cooked cuisine from The Courageous Kitchen. Proceeds from the laidback event go toward the In Search of Sanuk foundation.
