I think between Bono bestowing his AIDS guilt upon you, and his poverty guilt, this concert is going to be awesome!

But the KIDS are starving BONER!

As usual, South Africa’s premier online mens shop are making it easy free for you to attend this concert! You’re buying from Mantality.co.za anyway, so you may as well stand in line to win some U2 tickets. If you can get past Bono telling you about the worlds poor while still managing to promote the bohemoth that is Louis Vuitton, there will be some good songs mixed in!

What, you don’t know what to buy? Get some condoms or something you Latin lover.

You lothario you!

Ferry Corsten — Takes after me — Digs to chill on couches. Only I rock a Speedo.

So I know you like a little free something something from time to time, so I have three sets of double tickets to Ferry Corsten in Cape Town. That’s next Thursday already, in a weeks time!

What I need you to do is simply tell me why you, above all the other thousands of people want, no, NEED these tickets. Leave a comment below, and we’ll decided who really deserves them. Some people just want to go to a party because it’s free…and there are others who want to go because of a passion for music and a passion for attending the best events in the world.

I’m looking for those people.

So that’s a green light, entries open now…GO GO GO! (Yes you Murray Walker!)

There is nothing better than getting wasted and posing like The Captain! I normally like to show a little moose knuckle for added effect, but that’s just me.

Anyway, there is an awesome prize for the best Captain pose, happening over at CaptainMorgan.com:

The Pose of all Poses deserves the Prize of all Prizes. Upload your ultimate Pose photo and you could win a legendary trip for you and 3 crew-mates to Miami for 5 nights!!!

So make sure you get all your friends, colleagues, family members – in fact, get anybody who’ll listen – to vote for your Pose. The winning Pose of all Poses will be the one with the most votes received through the website and the Captain’s Facebook page… So get your friends to keep voting for you if you want to stand a chance to win!

But you’re not just Posing for the ultimate prize. Each month we’ll be giving away a camera, an iPod, or some other awesome prize for the best Pose in a particular category. It could be a sporty Pose, it could be a spooky Pose, it could be a spectacular Pose – just keep an eye on my website and Facebook page for details.

How about that? Awesome stuff, I’ll definitely be sending in an entry or two for the boys!

Click here for the Captain Morgan website, and get those entries in.

Just to let you know of some of our recent ticket winners on SLXS.

The Synergy Live tickets were won by Michala Christensen, congratulations! You’ll be receiving your tickets early next week.

And then the Godskitchen Boombox tickets were won by Mark Bloomfield. Congratulations Mark!

And remember, it’s basically like the lottery these competitions. Names are drawn at random, and you obviously can’t win if you didn’t enter.

I’ll see the rest of you preppy people at the One & Only tonight for the Chivas vibe.

SUIT UP!

Ok, so we’re going to make this easy, because I know how lazy you all are! A winner will be chosen at random, and all you need to do is get onto the Twitter.

I’m running this competition using Twitter because it’s the last time we will be able to use it. Julius Malema is shutting the Twitter down very soon. Pity, because it had potential.

So all you need to do is copy and paste, and post, the following status onto your Twitter account, or you can retweet it if you’ve seen it on my Twitter feed type thing:

I want @seandlloyd to throw the @aboveandbeyond tickets into my face: http://bit.ly/b6zihr

Obviously if you leave a comment below you might stand a better chance at winning, as a damn good motivation letter always gets me. If you wish to send photos of yourself, that’s also a bonus and the hotter you are, the better chance you have of winning. What? It’s Cape Town. We’re superficial like that. Photos to seanl (at) slxs (dot) co (dot) za.

The prize is for one set of double tickets and it closes tomorrow at 5pm. That’s you and your boyfriend/girlfriend/gimp/slave/mistress.

DO IT!

UPDATE: This competition is now closed, congratulations to Michala Christensen on winning the tickets.

Alright, we’re making this fairly simple! It’s that time of the year when girlfriends/boyfriends start wanting things. It’s also that time of the year when you’re flat broke after a year of debauchery. To make it easier for you to impress your girlfriend/boyfriend, we’re giving two tickets away so that you can go see some awesome music! Two tickets to the phenomenal Synergy Live Music Festival. With the headline act being Feeder, then also:

Plush
Prime Circle
Aking
Van Coke Kartel
Dirty Skirts
The Rudimentals
P.H Fat
Afropunk (UK)
Bruce Willis
El Gordo

To…name…a…few!

So what you need to do is tell me who is in this picture, who took the photo, and then you’ll obviously have a better chance of winning if you write a short motivation piece on why I should choose you as the winner. The crazier, the better!

And it’s green…GO GO GO! (As we swing our Murray Walker voice out)

So as we chatted about it the other day, we all know that the Halo Live crew are doing everything they can to progress trance music in South Africa, and Friday night it set to be one of the craziest nights…of your life.

I haven’t seen the MyCityByNight crew since the 2oceansvibe Radio Launch, so I’m pretty excited that they’re also collaborating with Halo Live on this project, Halo’s Future Heroes. The premise behind Halo Future Heroes is to seriously progress trance music, and the concept is to have two sets during the night dedicated to up and coming trance superstars, AKA Future Heroes. A pretty unique concept and another way they’re giving back to the trance community to help grow it. You know what they say, if you want something done properly, do it yourself, which is exactly what the Halo Live crew are doing.

For Friday nights performance at The Temple (Chevelle), the future Heroes are:

Aavi

and

Dale Rother

Halo Future Heroes takes place at Chevelle, this Friday, 1 October. Tickets are only R50 and doors open at 9pm.

Buying tickets — It’s pretty easy, simply click here to buy through Webtickets.

On the night the UCT Film Society will also be filming, so there will be footage of you completely losing your mind! MyCityByNight will also be covering the event, so immediately you know…it’s going to be ridiculous!

Here are the links you need for the event:

MyCityByNight

UCT Radio

Chevelle

Come Down Monday

Halo Live

We will be looking at the full bios of these artists later in the day. But for now…

WIN TICKETS TO HALO FUTURE HEROES

So, we have three sets of VIP double tickets to give away this week. You just need to answer a simple question, where there is no right or wrong…Having brought some of the finest trance acts to South Africa already, including Richard Durand, who would you like to see Halo Live bring in next?

Simply leave a comment below this to win!

Now I know what you’re thinking, “You can’t really buy that much gold and cocaine for my living room for R100000″

And while this is true, think of what you can do with R100000. Plasma screens, Playstations, speaker systems , amps, record players and crazy chairs to relax on. And as a guy, this is all you need really!

It’s a decent amount to be given to spend on a room, I won’t lie. And besides, we’re at the good end of a recession, so ‘if it’s free, it’s for me’

And if you win and you’re married, just imagine how stoked the wife will be. She will be thinking you’re going to be buying stupid scatter cushions and faux fur throws and persian carpets. Seriously, what is it with chicks and scatter cushions? Like those uncomfortable beaded ones that you can’t put your face on without scraping a layer of skin off?

“But it looks nice”

Well a bloody lion looks nice too! But it will kill you, just like your stupid scatter cushions. So while the wife is thinking of this:

The kak the wife is thinking of

You’re thinking one thing. You and your mates! You’re thinking like this:

The awesome you are thinking of! Just enough space for you, your best mate, and the wife your other best mate

Well she is going to have to settle for record players, Playstation, a plasma TV that can only screen sport and Bear Grylls and a chair that can put your beers in. Such is life!

It’s  a pleasure!

So my whole meeting at Brandhouse last week or the week before (I seem to have forgotten) was all in relation to Smirnoff’s Project X. And not even I know what it is all about! So I can’t help you along here, you’re going to have to use your imagination…Smirnoff will only let me know on Monday 13 September, so we have to wait. But because I hate making you wait, the good people at Smirnoff have put up a R2000 Smirnoff hamper…

Here are some of the details, a R2000 Smirnoff hamper needs to be given away on SLXS, so open up your mind…and let the ideas roll! Leave your suggestions in the comment box below to win.

Take a guess and let me know what you think it could be and you can stand a chance to win a Smirnoff hamper worth R2000.

The hamper is filled with goodies such as a six pack of Smirnoff Storm, 6 pack of Smirnoff Spin, bottle of Smirnoff vodka, a cap, an ice bucket, a cooler pack & so it goes on…

The most creative and outrageous suggestion will win the Smirnoff Hamper. I will be announcing the winners during the course of the next week.
