Party

I couldn’t believe that Boo! were getting back together and performing at Ramfest IV. I remember reading the line-up on the event page on Last.fm. back in December 2009 and commented “Boo! ????? Are you sure?”.

So yes, the reunion of Boo! is what interested me in the festival this year and it’s the reason I had SUCH great time. We only trekked through to the festival on the Saturday afternoon, following directions from a mate in Franschhoek. “It’s quicker to come via Franschhoek” (driving from Cape Town). Bullshit! It took us at least two hours to get to the party – a whole hour behind schedule. Nekkies wasn’t on the map to do the distance checking ourselves (for the record) and we went there in geek gear and mapped the entire route.

Never again will another trance head or RAMfest party goer be lost on route to the destination.

I went all prepared and packed in my alcohol in non glass bottles…

For the record, if you throw Smirnoff Storms in to a empty 1.5L Lemon Twist bottle, guess what/. It looks like Lemon Twist. If you throw it in to a Ginger beer bottle looks like ginger beer. Only thing though, NEVER leave the 1.5L empty bottle in the car when the next day is like 30 degrees hot. That shit melted.

Got there just as the sun was setting. Nice! No one got to see my skimpy shorts and shades and I settled for my fisherman’s pants as it got kinda chilly.

So I rock up at the fest, we pay our way and get out arm bands etc. Madam refuses to walk in with her 1.5L Lemon Twist alcohol and opts to buy from the bar inside instead. Moerse big mistake. There went at least 35 minutes of waiting to be looked at. Ramfest removed the lineup so I forget who I saw and in what order… › Continue reading

My inbox rolling with party invites and reminders for events happening around Cape Town for New Years Eve.

What’s the big deal anyways? I used to be big on the celebrating – guess I have outgrown that now. I used to go to Synergy parties that used to be held at the River Club in Observatory. Those were fun parties. Kinda like what Vortex is doing these days having Bands, Trance etc – many options not just one genre.

Synergy used to › Continue reading

After a miserable day yesterday where nothing was going right, I made
my way to the ‘Fresh ta Death’ party in Woodstock. If you are familiar
with the size of Don Pedro’s in Roodebloem road; you’d be a bit worried
about pulling such crowd of friends into such a tiny place especially
if its a farewell party to a well known person! Controversy leaves the
Cape for USA later this month and hip hop heads, and the crowd that
tags with those people all joined in to bid her farewell.

I’m not feeling so fresh right now and I do feel like I am dying; head
sore, eyes still tired, nausea etc – yes too much alcohol. The party
was SO much fun and I saw all the familiar faces I normally see on
