Last week we gave you the low down on the Heineken Start Final, and how YOU could win two tickets to this rad, and ultra exclusive event.

For the past five years Heineken International has hosted the Heineken Star Final, where selected global ticket winners can view the UEFA Champions League final in exotic cities around the world. This year they chose a secret location in Cape Town, where guests will be treated to a football feast with VIP treatment on 18 and 19 May.

Isn’t that nice of them? It is nice of them. But it isn’t too surprising. I mean, have you seen the place that we live in?

And have you SEEN our football stadium?

Street cred, my friend. We have it.

And we’re three days away from the 2012 UEFA Champions League final.

Chelsea and Bayern Munich have only met twice before in the Champions League.

How will the cookie crumble this year? It’s impossible to say.

How YOU experience it, well that’s totally up to you, really.

Yesterday, 2oceansvibe enlisted the brave men of Butlers in a diplomatic and humanitarian mission: the delivery of hot pizza to the stricken crew and salvage officers of the Eihatsu Maru trawler, currently beached on Clifton 1st.

The captain’s dog got a bone.

Tugboats tried again yesterday to pull free Eihatsu Maru, the Japanese trawler stranded on Clifton beach in Cape Town. The rope snapped – just as it did yesterday – and it occurred to all at 2oceansvibe Media, that the crew (and dog) on board might be feeling somewhat peckish. So we did what any self-respecting Capetonian would do when feeding foreign guests – we ordered them Cape Town’s #1 pizza, Butlers pizza.

As you know, Butlers Pizza only deliver. So that’s exactly what we did – direct to the ship.

And the boys did good! Click play on the video above to check out the madness.

It’s no wonder these waters are known as the ‘Tavern of the Seas.’
