Keanu Reeves' Art & Speed

Dogstar Concert in Budapest
I had been looking forward to the Dogstar concert in Budapest since the beginning of December 2025, when I purchased my VIP ticket for this very special event. For me, this evening was even more meaningful because I had the opportunity to personally present the updated edition of my book Keanu Reeves’ Art & Speed – a respectful cultural study rather than a conventional biography, with no gossip, as I had promised many years ago. The atmosphere was made even more special by the intimate Akvárium Klub, where Bret Domrose, Rob Mailhouse and Keanu Reeves performed songs from their latest album, All In Now.
Keanu Reeves’ Art & Speed – Updated Edition
I’m excited to share that the updated edition of Keanu Reeves’ Art & Speed has officially arrived. This new version expands on the original release with fresh insights, updated content, and the latest developments in Keanu’s remarkable journey. It now includes coverage of his newest film projects, along with information about Dogstar’s 2026 tour, currently crossing Europe before continuing across the USA in August 2026.
Budapest’s Cultural and Natural Treasures
The end of spring and the beginning of summer offered the perfect opportunity to rediscover Budapest’s unique cultural and natural treasures. Over the past weeks, we visited several locations, each offering a different experience, yet all sharing a common theme: bringing us closer to Hungary’s rich heritage. First, we visited the exhibition at the Mai Manó House, celebrating 125 years of Hungarian filmmaking. Next, we explored the Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library, which is already an experience in itself. Finally, we spent time at the Budatétény Rose Garden, where the research institute preserves the genetic collection of around 1,000 rose varieties.
