Through the Looking Glass on the Golden Mile
Posted on 15. Jul, 2009 by Thorin in Politics
I arrive on the beachfront to a full moon rising through the twilight. A fitting backdrop to this twilight space; in the city yet not quite of the city; a place of oddly juxtaposed worlds; a place where light and dark coexist. Separated on its inner edge by a pan-African wall of informal curio traders, [...]

So this post comes two days after the fact. It’s Friday and the Jozi 27dinner has come and passed already on the Wednesday night. But then, that’s me. Fashionably late, it seems.

So I have been going to concerts for years now, including festivals such as the old 5FM birthdays, and all the previous Coke Fests (I did miss the one where Guns ‘n Roses pulled out of). I have also been to Download overseas, which to me is the standard for how good a festival can [...]
I love Johannesburg
Posted on 14. Apr, 2009 by saulk in Blog
While driving home at 6:15 on a Friday night from a long day of Podcast editing the inevitable happened: I got stuck in traffic. I was awed by the fact that there was actually traffic when I assumed people should have gone home a long time before. Now this time made me realise how amazing [...]
