An Inconvenient Truth
This documentary stars Al Gore. It’s pretty funny when he introduces himself, he says: “Hi, I’m Al Gore. I used to be the next president of the United States.”. This movie is basically a presentation about the problem of global warming. The movie tag line is: A Global Warning, which I thought was pretty clever too.…

Coda, Freshlyground & Goldfish concerts review
This past week was the most musical week I think I’ve ever had. Wednesday night I went to the launch of Coda’s album at Planet Bar. Then on Thursday night I went to hear Freshlyground play at Cafe Miam and Sunday night was Goldfish at Kirstenbosch. The Coda Album (Believe) launch was awesome. It was…

Iridium Project
I’ve mentioned before that Cape Town is definitely way ahead of the game when it comes to SA music. We have Freshlyground, Goldfish, Coda, Flat Stanley, Watershed, The Dirty Skirts, Bed on Bricks and many others too. I’d just like to add Iridium Project to that list. I saw them in action a while ago…

Home Again review
I ate at Home Again last night, it’s next to Carlyles in Derry Street, Vredehoek. It’s the same owner as the popular At Home in Harfield Village. I like the rumour that the owner of Carlyles and Home Again were good friends until the Home Again dude signed the lease and proceeded to plant a…

Cafe Miam review
I went to the launch of Cafe Miam (ex Miam Miam) the other day. The name change is indicative of the change in direction for the venue. Although it was originally supposed to be a lounge/restaurant it ended up becoming more of a night club as many of you will know. With recent changes in…

Cape Town Flower Show review
I went to the Cape Town Flower Show on Saturday. The weather was fantastic, which was a good start. On arriving in Somerset West we had about half an hour of bumper to bumper traffic just trying to get into the Lourensford Estate, which was not wonderful. One very good decision later, we were off…

Cafe Roux review
Cafe Roux opened in the Noordhoek Farm Village a few months ago. I can tell you with confidence that I am not a regular at the Noordhoek Farm Village. In fact I have only been a couple of times when visiting my grandparents who live nearby. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, due to an…

Showroom review
Four of us went to The Showroom for dinner the other night. It was a pleasant experience. Most of the reports I have heard were positive, so I’ve been looking forward to checking it out. The decor is very white and modern, some would say clinical. I quite like it. Having a view of the…

CT International Comedy Festival review
I went to the opening night of the 10th Cape Town International Comedy Festival last night. I need to give you a little background about myself and stand-up comedy before I do this review. One of my house-mates when I first moved to Cape Town was an agent for comedians and also one of the…

Rick’s Cafe Americain review
Rick’s Cafe in Park Road seems to have become a vibey option for a week night. It’s not easy to find a place that has a good vibe on a wintery week night, so it’s nice to know that Rick’s can provide that. I’ve eaten there twice and been twice for drinks over the past…
