Now it's just after 2am and I'm exhausted so excuse the typos and the general sense of non-sense going on here. But today is a nonsense-filled day! We just came back from an epicccc night at Zula!
It is on Long St. (which is arguably the best street in Cape Town, come day, come night. It's the sort of street you walk down and people are leaning against a lumpy old car with a guitar, a girl is singing along and the other members of the group are smoking and listening quietly while leaning against the car and nearby shop windows. It's just wonderful.) www.zulabar.co.za.
Anyway, we sat at a table on the balcony watching gourmet pizzas pass us as we sipped our aperitifs in the hot humid heat. With vanilla cigarettes fuming the air, we looked across to the bead shop, watched a topless middle-aged man quizzically and generally waited eagerly...to watch Step Dog perform.
They have, in my opinion, a The Kooks-meets-Kings of Leon-with-a-bit-of-Bubléontheside sort of a sound.
They are stunning.
After a quick stop at Maccy Dee's, we went on to catch the bus back home. In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, we decided to make card cut outs of a Four Leafed Clover and stick them in the green traffic lights outside res. (I got the idea from my friend, Georga, who photographed a heart made in the red light.) I found some old Simba chips box outside Mac Donald's and away we went.
Cynthia had a pencil in her bag (luckily!) and with it I drew a terrible shape. With a little help from everyone, the clover came into being. We arrived back at res and quickly made the cut-outs and coloured them in (with my awesome crayons: Ferbies!) Thanks to Graeme's tallness and a handy unused crate, we stuck (with the scavenged prestick that Cynthia and I gathered) the cards up fairly easily.
Drive down Main Road past Lower Campus to see them today!
