    Those who know me will know that I’m easily pleased, but hard to impress. Riboville impressed me. It’s located in an old building at the top of Adderly St (just before you hit Wale St) which used to be a bank. They have refurbished the place but tried to keep as much of the original…

    Today is your lucky day, a double review. Most locals will know of Saul’s Saloon in Seapoint Main Road. It’s the kind of place you go to at about 4am after way to many drinks. Anybody who has been there in daylight and sober, won’t make that mistake again. It’s more about quantity than quality.…

    Have you ever had a chilli rush? It happens when you eat something so hot that you become flushed, you break into a sweat and you start hyperventilating which makes you feel light-headed. It’s a great feeling, I’m sure there are some endorphins involved somehow as well. The thing about chilli, which a lot of…

    I see Ecuador has a new president who is sympathetic to Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, et al.. In other words, anti-USA, anti-IMF and World Bank. I’m very excited. My only concern is the inclusion of Iran in their little gang. If you’re interested in finding out why I find this exciting, read this article: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/06/06/1337219

    I wish all Relax with Dax readers the best for 2007. My resolution for this year is to be a more responsible inhabitant of this planet. Consumerism is leading to a lot of waste and use of fossil fuels. We need to become more aware of what we consume and how we dispose of our…

    I went to the Just Jinjer concert at Dunes yesterday. Like all the previous years, it was a fantastic experience. You can’t really go wrong, holding an open air concert in Hout Bay. Dunes is a good venue because there is a lot of open space outside and there are multiple levels so there are…

    Wishing all Relax with Dax readers the most awesome festive season and new year. I’m feeling ambivalent about 2007. I love new beginnings and all that, but if I look at my desk I can tell that 2007 is going to basically be part 2 of 2006. On the other hand, there are some things…

    On Saturday night I attended the Electro Festival at Opium. The line-up was: Coda, Iridium Project, Flash Republic and Goldfish. You can’t really go wrong with a line-up like that. I have never seen Flash Republic live and hadn’t seen Iridium Project for a number of years either. All the acts were fantastic. An undeniable…

    Hugo Chavez has many detractors and he certainly does some strange things but nobody can deny that he has done a lot to uplift the poor in his country. They have re-elected him for another 6 year term, much to America’s dismay I am sure. The article about the election on News24 had the following…
