And as we all know, some of you will be going out to get phuza drunk. I however, am staying home tonight, so enjoy Cape Town everyone, but I have been invited to a “Madhatters Tea Party” in Hout Bay on Saturday, however I doubt there will be any tea on this occasion. I need to save my strength. How crazy is that? A Madhatters Tea Party, at 11am on a Saturday morning! It should be excess at the highest level! I hope the weather is nice, and I wish you could all be there.
On the topic of going out and drinking, it’s obvious that we don’t want you to drink and drive. Which is why my friends always organise lifts way before we go out. However, if you cannot do this, help will soon be on it’s way.
The Bang Bang Club in town, and Wadda in Claremont, have teamed up with transport service provider( I suppose we could say ‘lift club’ here. Or something to that effect) Rikki’s to make sure their customers get home safe. From the newsletter I received, I have learnt that at the entrance to these clubs, there will be a phone booth installed and it will be supervised by managers, staff and bouncers to assist you in any way possible. This booth will obviously call Rikki’s, so you can arrive home debauched, but safe.
I think this is the greatest idea since the invention of the nightclub! I must be honest, of late I have heard of way too many accidents involving drunk drivers and it’s just not worth going out and driving. Rather have a few drinks, and then chill in the back of a cab while you get driven home! Rikki’s will also offer a service where they will fetch you at home and drop you at the club.
Does life get any better? I don’t think so. These services are not yet available, but they will soon be. I think it’s great that nightclubs are taking an active approach to making sure their clientèle get home safely, and I’m sure these services will see other clubs taking the same approach in Cape Town. Well at least I hope so.
Other than that, party wise, Tiger Tiger was awesome on Tuesday, thanks to Marcell and JJ for the drinks, I had an AWESOME time. I think the whole town knows I had an awesome time. Then next weekend, the 15th September, we are going to see Layo & Bushwacka(Fresh from Ibiza, London and Berlin) so that could be a good party. The details of the venue and times are still under cover, but we will let you know how the party goes with photos and all the usual stuff. Actually come to think of it I hope I crack the invite! Maybe getting a little ahead of myself here…
Tomorrows Friday, the weekend will hit hard, so enjoy the rest of the day.
Oh and Wadda are hosting a Playboy Mansion party on Saturday night. I can’t make it as the Tea Party apparently extends into the night. But girls if you are going, dress like bunnies. And guys…you know what to do. Silk robes just like Hef himself.
You stay classy planet earth.
