So it turns out that I cracked the nod to the launch of Twenty cigarettes at Workshop 17 at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town on the 13th of October 2007. I must be honest, after the Pastis Blowout, I was terribly broken. Not even that, I was like a destroyed person. It always sucks when you have a party like the Pastis Blowout, where you have so much fun that afterwards real life seems average and boring. I can see why movie stars go off the rails, because they attend smash up parties all the time, and then how can you go back to real life? How can you actually enjoy watching the sunset, or the butterflies in the park?! How can you enjoy drinking water?
I’m still having withdrawal symptoms from the party, and at the moment I’m sitting by myself at the computer thinking “Will I party like that again?” I’m looking at the bottle of Absolut, but it’s not getting opened. Not at this moment at least. I hope I do party like I did at Pastis again, otherwise I’m not sure how I will cope. I will probably get writers block and self destruct.
I won’t even lie to you, I was extremely tired for this party from the previous night, and stood around staring blankly as though my life was about to fall apart! So I really won’t say too much about the party, other than to post some photos and tell you about the launch of Twenty cigarettes. Well I guess you can buy them now! These events are crazy because the cigarettes are free, and on arrival we were given three tickets with “20 drinks” printed on them.
At first I gave out a loud yelp as I realised I was going to be getting 60 drinks for myself! Then it dawned on me that this was not really going to happen. What did happen is that one ticket got me 2 beers free, so in total I could have had six for free. I only had two, because after that I was already sleepy…I was so weak.
We had a session from Ready D, who was spinning the life out of that vinyl! He goes crazy and spins with his chin, his elbows and he was even mixing it up backwards. Literally every person was standing still while he was playing, just watching him performing on the massive screens mounted around the venue. It was quite a display.
Phat Jack, Roger Goode and Fresh also made appearances and I saw comedian Cokey Falkow walking around. I was too tired to be excited though.
Oh no…it’s happening…my most feared thing in life…writers block…
Do I have to entertain ALL the girls ALL the time with my wicked sense of humour? I think I do
Apparently about 45 people attended the launch of Twenty cigarettes
