Zula turns 1!!

Posted by Unknown Thursday, July 12, 2012 0 comments

I can't believe it has been a year since Zula Soundbar made their big move from the top of Long Street all the way down. Some say bigger and better. Others say it has a whole new vibe. Whatever you feel about this huge venue, it is one of Cape Town's most popular spots.

For the big birthday party, on the 27th of July, they have a "christmas in July" party planned.

Line-up:

DJ's:
KOLO NOVO MOVIE BAND
HONEY B
MAORIGINAL
TOBY2SHOES
FLETCHER
MANOUCHE
TONYFINGERS
SWINGSISTA

Live Performances from:
SOMA BELLYDANCE
BLACK ORCHID BURLESQUE
JIM ON FIRE

The party starts at 20h00 and R50 gets you in!!

PLUS they have some birthday goodies to give away and a few other surprises planned.

This looks like a party that you do not want to give a skip.

You can also grab something to eat in their deli. Find the menu here: http://zulabar.co.za/pages/2-Menu

So, head to 98 Long Street and make your way to the famous Zula Soundbar for good music and good company! Oh and dress up for the occasion, after all it is TIM BURTON'S christmas in July!!!

If I like, I will post it. Yay!

well...I have had a long, boring day, but no day goes by with a little excitement ofcourse. Today I have popped into the NEW (!) Zula Soundbar in Longstreet and I must say...it is starting to look better by the day. I hope they will finish in time for the GRAND OPENING tomorrow evening!

I also looked at some cameras today - I am looking to buy one, but I am a bit clueless when it comes to digital cameras. I know that I want something with a good zoom and atleast 12 megapixels. I got really exited just looking at them..yay! I cant wait for a new camera!

I also peeped onto Tafelberg Publishers' website. They have just published a new book - Kyk My in Die Oë - it is a first of its kind in the Afrikaans language. A straight-forward, insightful story of a person's struggle with the mysterious bipolar disorder.

Set in a busy, news cafe, where Elsabe (the writer) works as a journalist, she tells us how, in 2001, she was struck by this disease and people's reaction towards her. After episodes in institutions and hospitals and even brain shock therapy, Elsabé survived and was able to go on with her life. Her accurate writings allow us to experience what it's like to live with the disease. The book is both helpful to those who suffer from the sickness and also to friends and family to understand this mysterious disease.

The Book Lounge in Roelandstreet, Cape Town, will host the launch of the book on Tuesday the 12th of July. Elna van der Merwe, book-editor of Huisgenoot, will speak to Elsabe Brits about her book and Bipolar Disorder. The evening will start at 17h30 for 18h00 and please rsvp before the end of tomorrow.

I think this might me a very interesting talk. I think it could be a very insightful book to anyone who is interested in the disease or is struggling with the sickness. If I can escape from work for a while on Tuesday to pop by, I will definitely do so.

Staying with the Afrikaans folk and events - The Kalfiefees is coming up. This is the "baby festival" of the Hermanus Whale Festival. It is a very sweet, intimate art festival showcasing some of the best art, music and theatre currently showing in the country. The festival runs from the 4th to the 9th of August in mostly Onrusriver (just outside of Hermanus).

Here is the programme for the festival and tickets can be pre-booked:

For more info visit their site at: http://www.kalfiefees-hermanus.co.za/

It will be a fun little art-party (with a party-tent in the bushes).

And if you need advice on accommodation for the festival. Take mine: Zoete Inval backpackers is a fantastic choice! Situated just outside of Hermanus it is truly a diamond. With a jacuzzi overlooking the mountains, nice, fluffy doublebeds and a cute kitchen and bar, be sure not to drive by this one!

In Anyway..

...So I am looking forward to tomorrow's Zula Soundbar Opening. There will probably be a lot of characters (old and new) to join the party...yay!

I am jumping in to the bath and then into my cosy bed now.

So sweet dreams..

NEW ARTS.

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, July 5, 2011 0 comments

This coming weekend is the opening of the new Zula Soundbar in Longstreet. I have been there a few times now - while they are preparing for the grand opening - and I must say, it is starting to look great! They have two massive dance floors, a few bars, including a cocktail bar and a mini-cafe - WITH a real pizza oven!

So they call it the "Grand Opening Festival" and it will cost you R130 for the two days (tickets available at Computicket) or R80 per day (at the door). The doors open at 6pm and here is the fantastic (and most inportant) line-up:

Friday:The Springbok Nude Girls

Ashtray Electric

Hog Hoggidy Hog

The Rudimentals

Hot Water

Red Tape Riot

Wolftown

AND MANY MORE...

Saturday:A-King (yay!)

Holiday Murray

The Jack Mantis Band

Southpaw

Stereo Zen

Haezer

AND MANY MORE...

The adres is 98 Longstreet (next to FNB). It is a beautiful, old building and I think Zoe and Vusa (the owners) already did an amazing job with their personal touch. The feel (from the old Zula) is still there, but it is definitely bigger and better. I love what they are doing for upcoming, local artists and I think they deserve the success that comes with a new (BIGGER!) venue.

I will definitely be there on both nights and take photos of the grand occasion!

So while on the topic of music and arts: The National Arts Festival is currently on in Grahamstown. I hate not being there - I was there last here and it was truly AMAZING! I think it is one of the few festivals in the country that actually focuses on the arts. I was there on my own and had the privilege to see a lot of drama, dance and music productions, as well as visit quite a few art galleries, markets and street theatre. It was brilliant - There were no sokkie-sokkie back-tracking artists nor beer tents or drunk festival goers yelling on the streets. Besides the fact that is was freezing, it was one of the best trips of my life...

With over 500 productions this year, it is worth a visit. They have a fringe and main programme. To view the complete programme, visit the website:

www.nationalartsfestival.co.za

Here is some of the photos I took last year:

Some of the street productions I was lucky enough to see:

Some of the old churches and buildings in Grahamstown (which they call the "city of saints and sinners" due to the amount of churches and jails in the town):

The beautiful sunrise on a farm just outside of Grahamstown - where I was lucky enough to stay for one night:

One of the beautiful alleys in Grahamstown:

It is a festival worth visiting. It supports local artists and give them the much needed exposure.

GO NTNL.ARTS.FSTVL!!

Anyway, here is another pretty girl (because it is Tuesday)...This is Brittany Mcphee. She is a young model doing work mostly in New York. I think she is PRETTEEE!!

I love her natural, innocent look..She's cute.

This is turn on Tuesday...

If you know of a cute, pretty girl (or are one yourself)...send me photos...I will gladly post them...yay!

So good night and sleep tight and peace and love and everything else.
