Joburg Burning 3

These pics are up a week late, but better late than never I guess. What an awesome night it was. 32 bands, 5 venues and multiple taxis to run to to get to the next venue to catch the next band. I have been to the last one and this one definitely outdid it haha. The panic and excitement when you have to catch a crammed taxi to the noise, smoke, sweat and love that are the live performances by the Jozi bands. I love it! There is one place that I am always content, and that is at a live show. Nothing compares to the exhiliration and joy I feel when I see bands. Sounds lame, I know, but it is my reality and I would not swap it for anything!

Lyric of the Day

This song reminds me of the drive Caroline, Kayleigh and I took today to visit Louise in Heidelberg. We went for an awesome summer braai to celebrate Valentine's Day... For all the single ladies, and our guyfriends too.

"Where is your boy tonight?

I hope he is a gentleman.

Maybe he won't find out what I know:

you were the last good thing about this part of town."

- Grand Theft Autumn by Fall Out Boy

Lyric of the Day

I just got back from a weekend away in Heidelberg. I can't really say that I went away as I really only went to visit Louise and Heidelberg is only 50kms outside of Jozi city. But how outside some places can really be. I love going to small towns like that. Drinking at small pubs and brunching at quaint delis. A town filled with pretty churches and quiet streets. It has a maximum of three places to party. And when I mean party I mean sit around, drink and talk shit with the kids who live in the town. Too awesome. I will definitely be going back next year. Thank you Lou. And in honour of our attempt at broken Afrikaans when we were a bit broken... Here are some special lyrics for you my friend...

"As die son bo hierdie rotse opkom,

gaan almal weet wat ek en jy nog altyd weet,

'n mens het sy limiet,

al wat jy het is wat die wêreld vir jou bied,

ek weet ons is uniek,

ek weet...

ek probeer my bes,

ek sweer ek probeer..."
