i'm back!!!!!

and boy, considering I have been retardedly slack this one is going to be a goodie=)

I was going to take you all down the rabbit hole to a wonderful land of mystery called the The Flamjangled Tea Party but that was a few weeks back, things are hazy and quite honestly there are truly no words to describe how incredibly amazing this event is. Do yourselves a favor and go next year, if you have a bad time I will personally pay you back the ticket money. I still wake up most mornings and wish I was back there.

Next, hmmmmm oooooo Labyrinth is back with a vengeance. they held 2 HUGE events, 1 for Public Holiday last month and the other as a fringe event to the CTEMF (more on that just now) both were fantastic but it still blows my mind that the guest list queue into trinity is longer then the paying queue. seriously...what...is...the...point??????? 

This CTEMF weekend was amazing!!! It's a brilliant concept and I really hope it continues to grow as a festival over the years (just maybe not on the same weekend as Jazz Fest!!!)

Basically it's a weekend festival that was held on the roof top at the Waterfront and it is dedicated entirely to electro...some of you may be shaking your head at this but, in all honesty, it's definitely the most popular genre around Cape Town and the festival attendance over the 3 days proves this.

Side notes:

* the toilets were amazing! i know this doesn't seem like an important thing but trust me...3 days...portaloos...girls worry!!!! these were perfect.

*the bar...EVERY time a drink was ordered (same round) the prices changed, and I'm not talking a few rands here and there i'm talking anything between R2 and R20!!!!

other then that it was incredibly well organized and definitely one of the most beautiful venues for a festival. sea on one side, mountain on the other, the weather was gorgeous and some of SA's top electro acts made an appearance. always great to see the Goldfish boys doing their thing...they do it so freaking well!!!! also a mention must go to Sibot and El Gordo...after their performances it is easy to see why they are paving the way for SA electro over-seas and why they are such hot property back here.

other things that have been happening...Fiction is back FINALLY!!!!! and it's good=) it's like welcoming home a close family member thats been overseas for too long.

however, maaaaaan hat did they do for 6 month!!?? yes it's bigger and smells better but there are random nails sticking out of some places, doors that don't lock in the girls bathrooms, nothing to dry hands on (again a big deal for girls) and a damn sneaky step and the bottom that is higher then the others and makes walking to the bathroom and back an incredibly unpleasant experience. add that to the missing inches of the stair railing and a comedy of errors is on the way!!!! it is good to have it back though=)

they've had 3 events there so far...the return of It Came From the Jungle...always for a bit of floor-shaking D 'n B. 

next was the FANTASTIC swing party on Easter Sunday. these events surprise me every time....from how dressed up and themed everybody gets, to the brilliant dj's and of course the dancing. who knew Cape Town kids had such class;) 

then the return of untamed youth happened....ohhhhh boy. aside from the ridiculous amounts of heels, boobs and vests running around (those who need to get that will) it was good. about 100 people too full but that's never gonna change is it.

that's about all i can think of at the moment. again, so sorry for the delays but i do hope this has made up for the loooong wait!

Happy reading=)
