You Will Be At Ramfest

Ramfest, huh? Well, I have to say: the whole thing looks and feels somewhat diabolical. Not that that’s gonna stop us from crying bloody tears of joy (that congeal under the African sun) as we dust-mosh with the thousands who make the Groot Trek to Nekkies Resort in the Western Cape every year.

It’s a leap year. That means you get a bonus day for all your hard work. And here’s something you may not know yet: Ramfest is where you’re gonna celebrate.

It’s true. We can see the future through our Internet machine screens. We have consulted the Oracle (www.google.com, Her name be Praised). It is predestined.

Here is a random selection of YouTube comments from Ramfest 2008:

GadaboutBand: Hell yeah, its gonna rock
exDeathex: I can’t go tp this, it looks evil and satanistic
ErinTragedy: Can’t wait! Parti parti!
ratinakage: Nice!
audioram: Don’t adjust your TV set hhhaaaahaa

You will now click here to find out where to get tickets; early birds are now on sale. And as you are can liking to be seeing, there are no shortage of bands on the go. Enjoy the unfolding of the inevitable. Bars, food, paintball, mechanical bull riding, arts & crafts, Google knows how many bands, and this very mellow kreef. See you in the pit.
