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.

Read all about it after the jump!
American punk band the Drunken Banshees were in South Africa for a bit of a tour. They stayed with Andrew so we got to hang and be punk as fuck. I went to the show at Shivas on Friday 17 June. Shivas is a little shit hole in Pretoria… it’s dingy, but has rickdiculously cheap booze so was probably the perfect place to watch 10 punk bands and be roudy. No photos made it onto my camera that night so check out the band on myspace for more: www.myspace.com/drunkenbanshees!

T-Bone!

Croquet!

Drew and Nelia Face!

The following day we all went off to the Botanical Gardens to have a little eat loads of snacks and nurse that hangover day for Thembas birthday. The weather was great, nice and sunny… some folks even brought croquet!

On Sunday Juri graced Caryn and I with his presence for a quick beer at good ‘ol Players… good to see the dude again… after that we watched Fanboys. What a lame movie, but I’ll leave you the funniest line – “I’m William Shatner… I can score anything!”. I also ordered my new controller and posted it to my aunt in Canada. My folks are off to visit her next week end so they will bring it back for me just in time for the dirtyoldDisco’s next gig The controller is a Hercules RMX and is one powerful DJ controller! I can’t friggin wait for it to arrive!

My new controller

On Tuesday saw the launch of Pluto Was A Planet’s debut album at Tings an Times. Themba and I finished the evening off with some banging electro as the dirtyoldDisco. The crowd loved it and the gig rocked! Thanks to the band for inviting us… ^5! Check them out here!

The rest of the week saw me at university being unmotivated but at least I managed to build my wireless antennae I’ve been busy with for too long. I also programmed my bluetooth remote and set all that up… tech posts on those projects as soon as I’m happy with the results.

I’m off to a braai in a bit so that’s all for now!

Soon
^5!
