Hey guys, I have a pair of Little Dragon tickets to giveaway to one of you guys (Thanks to Andrew). This is going to be a quick competition as the concert is in the next couple of days. Just leave me a comment with your name and I will choose a winner on Thursday morning. Cool? Cool.
On Saturday I went to the annual antique fair at the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria. As always it was a vintage feast for my eyes. Everywhere I looked I was surrounded by things that made me happy like, a ginned up granny in a packed bingo hall.
– Milk and Honey on the Other Side is a collection of drawings documenting an expedition through worlds: underworlds, holy lands and purgatories. On this expedition along rivers that tie them all together, you will see things minding their own business. You will see small things being condemned by big things. You will see things dying. And finally, you will see how they keep themselves busy on the other side.
Oh I will clap my hands alright! I have loved this band for the longest time and I was so chuffed to find out that they are coming to good old South Africa and soon.
I have attached one of my most favourite songs, The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth – the lead singers voice is crazy good, it’s not what you would expect when you look at his picture and I bet you it’s a voice you wouldn’t have heard anywhere else before. It’s hill-billish, but in a good way, in a away that makes you want to listen over and over again. So excited for this concert. Yeah!
On Saturday night we went to watch The Tallest Man On Earth at the Civic Theatre and it was beyond amazing. The setting was so intimate and he was so mesmerising. He was like a handsome Swedish woodland creature, all I wanted to do was put him in my pocket and feed him peanut brittle all day long.
Today I bought myself a Remote Shutter Release device, or what I like call a ‘clicky-thing’. Yip, I no longer have to self time any photo ever again. I’m the king of my own clicks now. No more waiting for the self-timing flashing light on my camera, counting me down to when IT says it’s photo time. No ways, now I make that decision all by myself and all I have to do is click and wave.
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to discover that my camera actually has a plugin hole for this very device. I’m over the moon, in case my stupid face above hasn’t given that away already.
**Hey, I’m going to both the Zara and the Mr Price concept store (super excited for this) launches tonight, are any of you going to be there? If you are going and see me, please come say hi, i’ll even let you play with my ‘clicky-thing’.
