So between now and the end of the month there are a lot of totally awesome things coming to Pretoria and Jhb!

This Thursday (20 August) my good friend Charles will be exhibiting along with a whole bunch of other talented people at Platform on 18th in Pretoria. The exhibition is called “Narrative Landscapes: Artworks generated from conceptual videos generated from personal narritives“. Check out the flyer in pretty .pdf format here, the map to the venue is here and the Facebook event is here!

Dang the last week has flown by super fast… so I’m spending today catching up on all those things you miss out on when doing too many things. Nothing beats sitting back in your comfy chair listening to music and reflecting… [listening to IAMX - Kingdom Of Welcome Addiction as I type]

This post includes the Drunken Banshees, Pretoria Botanical Gardens, my new controller, Cool Runnings, Juri, bad movies, dirtyoldDisco, university, work, bluetooth and a wireless antenna.

The Mountain above us

I managed to have a quick getaway weekend this past one. Caryn and I drove through to Verlorenkloof in Mpumalanga to have a weekend with her folks. Being just what the doctor ordered, it was super relaxed! We did some chillin, some walking and I learnt to fly fish (horay for a new skill!). Verlorenkloof is beautiful, peaceful and serene. If you like that sort of thing, go go go www.verlorenkloof.co.za!

Friday night Caryn and I headed off to The Woods to grab a live set from Mtkidu. The Woods is a cool venue but damn, why can’t they open up the seating area? When it is so packed, all you do is get bumped around the whole time and it ends up being a bit lame. Apart from that, Mtkidu played a killer set… I love their new material and can’t friggin’ wait for their up and coming album release! Grab some of their tracks free from electrotrash!

In small but pretty exciting news, this past weekend (Friday 8 May 2009 to be exact) saw the first Viral Underground party in Pretoria. It was quite a fun affair indeed! Themba and I got to play our debut set as the banging electro duo “dirtyoldDisco” which was awesome even though we didn’t get to play to the biggest crowd ever! What’s even more awesome about the party was that, although we got to play a part in the first event, we get to play an even bigger part in the next one, hopefully happening on 31 July 2009! Excited face! Thanks to all of my friends that made it out to give us that loving support! ^5!

Read more about the event on electrotrash here and check out the Facebook group here!

Saturday, 9 May 2009, saw the inauguration of South Africa’s latest president – Mr Jacob Zuma as well as the wedding of our friend Jacob Israel! Themba and I got to hang out at the wedding and play a few tracks but it seems that all the dancing going on in the country was at the inauguration ceremony as YouTube gracefully shows us here!

More, soon… Thanks for reading!

^5!

This year has been flying past me, way too many things to do in such a short time! Electrotrash has been growing from strength to strength with loads more content being added a lot more regularly (we even have a Facebook fanpage now… here ! University has been insanely busy but has also been really interesting so I haven’t minded too much.

I haven’t blogged in ages, I just haven’t really had much to say. This has been a pretty interesting year for me so I loaded up the photos I’ve taken and tried to remember all the things that have happened / I’ve done etc… I know I’ve forgotten a lot but here goes anyways…

Stream the thoughts!

Partying much less, studying much more, getting a girlfriend, listening to a lot of bad music that I downloaded off of blogs, selling my car, shaving my moustache, breaking my speakers, watching LOTS of movies, Magaliesberg Canopy Tours, tennis, mountain biking, Infected Mushroom, picnics, dirtyoldDisco, radio deconstruction, threadless, blah blah blah!

So after a long holiday of arbing around in Pretoria and hanging out with everyone that didn’t go away I felt it was time for me to get away for a bit…

Destination: Cape Town!

Jason picked me up from the airport and after dropping my stuff off at his place, the debauchery began! Cape Town is filled with far too many places where one can drink for next to nothing and R13 for TWO Marzen Gold draughts at Starlight Diner seemed a great place to kick off my stay! My 10 days in the city were mad… hardly sleeping and partying hard! I got to dance to a bunch of awesome DJ’s, watched Sweat.X, The Real Estate Agents, Max Normal.TV, Valkyrie Fighter and go to some super rad clubs.

Photos, more stories and thanks after the jump!

So it’s been a very eXtreme past few months with a lot of crazy busy things going down! So this is a “bring you up to date” post…

It’s been so quiet up in here because of a damn thing called university… it’s been keeping me so busy that there just hasn’t been enough time to do a lot of other things. I did get to build some cool electronic stuff for this project of ours, so it wasn’t too bad!

Woah! A wireless receiver!
