Well there hasn’t been many posts recently so I figured I’d dump some good things down in this lonely little space.
Who knew funerals could be megatastic dancehall bonanzas!? Well the Ghanaians did, that’s who! Have a look at this article from NYTimes to see where the small, ready to explode child is getting his groove on. Hot damn I hope the trend travels south, what a great way to spend a weekend.
“The parties are fervently anticipated, promoted weeks in advance with online advertisements — “Save this day,” one said, “as I celebrate the life of my mother” — or with stacks of glossy fliers that pile up at African restaurants and groceries. The fliers often resemble theater playbills, with photos of the grieving family and friends, known as the “chief mourners,” as well as credits for the M.C. and technical staff.”
Awesome.
Here’s a great item of news that I only just got wind of: HOOTERS is in South Africa! For realz. They first opened one in Durban, then Johannesburg and now in boerewors draped Edward Street in Durbanville. I don’t think they’ve completed the Edward Street venue yet but you can join their Facebook page here and you’ll be the first to know. Also for all you aspiring well stacked birds out there get yourselves over to this link where you can sign up to Become a Hooters Girl. WOOP WOOP!
And last but not least their menu is pretty great, similar to Spur (but no-one will ever top Spur) and with more of a US feel - items like Daytona Beach Wings and even oysters. I think an all round guaranteed success.
On a more toned down note: the always quietly amusing works of Michael Taylor will be on show at What If The World Galleries for his show entitled The Tenacious Tree Huggers on Wednesday the 20th of April from 18h00. His work is great and no doubt this will be no exception. You can check out his website here and read more about the show here.
Toodles.
