The Flamjangled Tea Party

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

 

Mystical Delights and Ingenious Madness fitting for the month of March. Fancy a cuppa tea with that???

Unlike the Mad Hatters traumatic little event, this one promises to delight.

And so it shall. Prepare yourself for this is one event that bound to turn your world inside out.

Join the “madcap melody-makers, artists flamboyant, syrupy tea-ladies, freakish party animals, cross-dressing gorilla’s, candy-floss cowgirls, rooibos sippen diva’s, greased-up rockers, disco deviants, swingtastical jazz-cats, loved-up funkters, queenly kings, kingly queens, non-sensical amusers, trumpet blasting poodles, cupcake cuties, cookie-cutter mullets,betty crocker matrons, minge muffins, crimplene cookies, animal crackers, hot-but-not-cross buns, iced fancies, eccentric tribesman, afro-shaking mama’s, unorthodox greeks, harmonious poets, rubbish magicians, safari suited cubans and possibly that smelly family dog too!” and enter a world beyond imagination.

As you may have guessed this is more then upper nosed high society cradling the finest china. However there are recommended behaviours to observe.

For instance the actual act of tea drinking is a highly sophisticated art form and if therefore more refined then your usual cuppa tea. However this isn’t a pinkie in the air kind of affair…so kudos to creativeness and originality. What would the world be without it?

This is your weekend to let out your inner child and run wild. (Terms and Conditions always apply)

SATURDAY IS FOR PLEASURE & SUNDAY FOR LEISURE & THIS IS HOW WE ARE TOLD THINGS WILL UNFOLD:

 THE TEA GARDEN is open from Saturday morning till late and hosts The Great Waltz after sunset. Sunday will present Le Picnic as we continue to shift sideways through a relaxed daytime party aimed to uplift and leave you feeling fresh.

NIGHT TIME once darkness descends and the nightly creatures come out, your options still twinkle. Saunter over to the Munged Bean Shebeen and get caught up in some late night shenanigans, or cut yourself a rug at the Pyjama Party.

 THE GREAT WALTZ is your chance to be part of a World Record breaking attempt! Bring your partner, or grab one there, as an esteemed dance teacher shows us the moves to use as we attempt to break the world record for the largest coupled Waltz.

So there you have it… and knowing this lot* they are bound to dazzle and surprise you with gift wrapped wicked afterthoughts.

See you there.

Pro X 2010

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Extreme Weather.Extreme Sports.Extreme Music.

It does not get more extreme then this.

To all the daredevils who came out in the 42c heat SALUTE – and I’m not just talking about the guys on wheels. While the rest of you played it safe this weekend, ZONE 7 was pumping with flick flaks, black flips, tail whips, dirt in your face, and death defying maneuvers are simply “Epic”.”Wild”.”Crazy” and “Sizzling”.

The excitement and amazement quickly took the place of the heatwave as no one dared to even blink. I’m pretty sure people even forgot to breath. With so much going on in every single direction I don’t blame them.

Cape Town has a newbie sensation sweeping across the land and by the looks of it it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Ok, so it isn’t that new but Pro X sure is… Last year they tried it out on the backdrop of the V and A Waterfront.
This year things just got a whole lot bigger. FMX, BMX, SKATE, WAKE, MTB TRIALS, SUPERCROSS, TRIALS, and a MUSIC FEST. Now that’s wicked!

The much talked about demos had the crowd cheering. Who would have thought you could do that on a bike? I mean seriously. Hello. That’s just mind bloggingly head scratching. Chatting to the bikers afterwards I was suprised to find out they didn’t have an answer to that either. “You just make it up as you go along”. Right…

FMX was by far the main attraction. So much so that people were fighting each other for seats. The top 4 SA Champs blew everyone away with ease(and dust clouds) as they worked the ramps and skies. Now these guys are totally Hot.

The coolest cats of the lot were the wakeboarders. Yet before things really kicked off the pool was taken over by bikinis and topless guys who just could not handle the heat.Pity the wake was short lived… could have done with the splash.

As the sun settled over the horizon and finally released the us from the sweltering heat …The bands took to the the stage and got the crowd buring all over again. Nice One. Big Cheers to The Little Kings, Hog Hoggigy Hog, Van Coke Cartel and all the other bands and DJ’s who refused to let the crowd off thier feet.

As the weekend wraped you’re left wondering – can we go again???

PS Don’t try this at home.

Interview | Ama-Ambush Marimba Band

Friday, December 12th, 2008



amaAmbush! Last spotted by Overtone at Rocking the Daisies. How was the weekend?

We really enjoyed the experience. It is always incredible playing on a large stage. The audience was great, and the sound rig was impressive.

True or false: marimbas are the sound of rural South Africa.

Marimbas are the sound of all South Africa. We are currently teaching over 400 students in schools throughout the Western Cape.
