I know, it’s been a while since we were graced by the presence of the great man. Nearly a full month, if you go by the last sighting of him featured on the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) Sightings page. But I wasn’t worried. After all, we know that He will always be there.

It’s no secret that the symbol of all things beautiful and amazing gets around – and last weekend was no different, as we witness a wonderful moment for one of His people.

They say you have more chance of winning the lottery five times, than having two TBG sightings. Well that must mean that Liezel T is one very lucky little girl.

This time, twas in the seaside town of Scarborough. God knows what this will do to the real estate in the area..

Liezel secures her second moment with the icon

Dearest Seth

You know…. I shouldn’t really be sending you this….. it’s just too unreal. I mean, this was the SECOND time I have seen Him. Few have had the luck I have had…. which is what convinced me to share it.

Casually sipping my Chardonnay on Saturday at the Cape Farmhouse in Scarborough….. I scanned the crowds behind me (which was awesome just by the by)….and I saw Him.

At first I couldn’t bring myself to just go up to Him and ask for a pic, so I took a few paparazzi snaps….. you know. The TBG sipping his beer. The TBG bending…. I mean nobody bends like the TBG; and the TBG sharing what must have been some kind of awesome joke. (laugh, laugh, chuckle, chuckle).

Then I pondered for a while. You know this doesn’t happen to ANYONE!!! Nobody gets to see Him twice in a lifetime right?? So I gave it my all and asked Him for a pic.

And what a pic it is!!!!!!!!! Look at the joy in His face. Look at MY JOY!!!!! (delirious I tell you!!!)

Anyhoo……after that, I watched The Dirty Skirts with a different kind of happiness. The kind you only get….. from the TBG.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Liezel T

Un….real!

I’m genuinely shaken. What an incredible stoke of luck! Liezel, it’s quite clear that you’ve got something special going on. This kind of shit doesn’t happen to just anyone. You are blessed – and you know what the beauty of the whole things is? You’re aware of it. And that, my girl, is something special – to acknowledge your good fortune and not to pretend it’s normal.

Well done. Now continue forward and spread the good word of His love.

It is interesting to note that the TBG’s (Tall Blonde Guy’s) fame has reached such biblical proportions that we are now at a point where a pic of him on the phone in the street is just as newsworthy as personal interaction photographs/reports with civilians.

Dear Seth,

Dude…. The Vibe is following me.

I was minding my own business and had just got a Meia de lette from Vida. I’m just driving up the road and I see this.

 

The TBG – thoroughly amazing!
(Tall Blonde Guy)

 

He really is tall and blonde.

And if I may add….. Dresses magnificently.

Thanks for everything.

Yaron W

No, Yaron – you need not “add.”

Of course he dresses magnificently! Has anyone ever said any different? How is it possible for a shining beacon of all things good and pure to NOT dress magnificently?

I said it before and I’ll say it again – God Bless The TBG.

It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is for The TBG to adapt to normal situations with normal people, talking about normal things. He just seems to know how to put the whole room at ease. Again, it’s just his aura and his sheer brilliance and genius.

Just look at this latest sighting. Look how relaxed he is. So graceful. Like a gazelle. Actually no – compared to the TBG, a gazelle is as graceful as a cement truck..

Mark records his special moment
with The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)

Dear Seth

My art director Mark and myself were chilling at our usual table at Knead in Wembley Square, trying very hard to think of some interesting and original NON-SCAM advertising, when who should appear, like an Angel of Mercy, but his awesomeness TBG. Suddenly, we felt overjoyed and overwhelmed with inspiration to create a campaign that would bring hope to consumers, the way TBG brings hope to us. He sat down and threw around a few basic concepts before getting up and going on his way, off to spread more of his light and love. Please see a picture of this glorious encounter attached.

The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)

So poised and graceful, the global icon and shark whisperer is just at home in water, as he is on land and in the air.

AWESOME footage was sent to me of The TBG donating the 3,267th pair of jeans to the Levi’s “Get Rid of Your Jeans For Good ” Campaign!

The TBG caught dropping off jeans at the Waterfront

I think it’s fair to say that if The TBG (who spends most of his time healing the world, as it is) can find time and a pair of jeans to drop off at the nearest Levi’s store, so can you!

Come on, people, get involved!

And remember, they will pay you up to R200 for the jeans, let alone the good karma which will be bestowed upon you!

Go! Go! Go!

Where better for the stars to align, than The Planet bar at the Nellie? I know they’ve got a Jack Black beer tap there, so I guess it’s only a matter of time before the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy ) graces The Cape Royale with his presence. You know they’ve just installed a Jack Black beer tap, right? It’s true check it out here . Not surprising, given that it is my primary residence.

When it comes to TBG sightings in and around Cape Town, the TBG has been somewhat prolific of late, I think you would agree. I’ve been in L.A. for a few weeks and, while being on holiday is great, I’ve kicked myself every time I’ve heard about another TBG sighting .

This is clearly a good time, people, and those of you waiting to grab that special moment with the symbol of all things incredible and good, should keep your eyes peeled. It reminds me of a saying I made up many years ago, “strike while the iron’s hot” which I made up after this one argument I had with Mavis (the keeper of the iron).

Back to The TBG – now try and imagine how this particular sighting felt for Morgan and Nyoko. Mind blowing doesn’t even begin to describe..

“One of the best pics I’ve ever seen of The TBG” – Seth

Hey Seth,

I have been a dedicated 2Oceansviber for sometime now, and have always hoped to experience ‘the vibe’ personally…. anything!

Well, my ambition was realised a few weeks back.

I MET THE TBG, and it was truly surreal! I am still tingling with excitement and have goose bumps all over my body as I write this.

There I was innocently ‘cocktailing’ at Planet Bar with a few mates and the next minute, as if by magic, THERE he was, in all his tall, blonde glory! (I’m convinced I witnessed the planets on the Plant Bar mobile align shortly after his arrival, but can’t be sure.)

 

He really is The “Tall Blonde Guy”

 

He was most gracious when I asked for a photo and even put his arm around me! I nearly blacked out – it was too much to take in, and I needed time to process the shear, unadulterated awesomeness! I feel blessed and am certain that even my unborn children will be enriched by this astounding experience.
I especially enjoyed the picture of the TBG standing next to my pint size friend, Nyoko (what a legend).

Have a good one, and all the best while spreading “The Vibe” Stateside.

Regards,
Morgan

That was just awesome! Well done, Morgs and Nyoko – your life is complete!

Make no mistake, the TBG is HUGE amongst the black community. He does not discriminate and has been known to heal both white and black babies.

Black, white, young and old – his aura and power feels just as amazing for everyone. He’s like a legal drug.

I’d go as far as to say that if his mind was a drug they’d sell it by the gram.

Whilst the TBG’s (Tall Blonde Guy) spell is being felt and discussed as far afield as New York, I received this TBG sighting over the weekend.

In a very rarely seen twist of fate, a Capetonian managed to double up an incredible 33rd birthday with a TBG sighting!

I mean, REALLY, what are the chances!!??

Let’s see what Shaheen had to say!

Hi Seth

Last night I had my 33rd birthday party at Woodstock Lounge having a total blast.

Afterwards we decide to get something to eat at the Engen Woolies.
I did not think the night could get any better when my wife tells me, in that hushed tone one uses when discussing Da Vinci’s finest at the Lourve: “There’s the TBG!”

I cannot tell you how much better that made my birthday. I was in the presence of sheer awesomeness! And on my birthday!

Thank you TBG for making this the best of my 33 birthdays!

Shaheen

If the TBG wasn’t the symbol of all things good and amazing in the world, I’d swear this was staged! I mean, to think that some people wait a lifetime to feel the aura and be present in the TBG’s greatness, and here Shaheen gets it ON his very birthday!

UN REAL!

We should also congratulate Engen and Woolworths for facilitating such late night TBG sightings! If it wasn’t for the 24 hour Woolies in Gardens, this may never have happened!

At first I didn’t want to mention this TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting, as I didn’t think it was fair. I didn’t think it was fair that one person can have a DOUBLE TBG SIGHTING, in two different cities. How would that feel to the millions of other fans out there who would, quite literally, give their lives to touch or let alone meet the great man.

But then I thought, bugger that. We should be celebrating this person. Good for them, damnit! There is obviously something special about them, that The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) allowed this to happen. He is, after-all in total control.

Check it out:

Dear Seth,

“I was up in Plettenberg Bay during the Easter holidays and a while having lunch overlooking the ocean i noticed somebody that looked like the TBG but i wasnt sure since sightings so far north are quite a rare occurrence.As i was leaving i walked past and i couldnt believe it was indeed the TBG and in a rush and not wanting to disturb his eating habits i managed to take a quick snap(see attached).

 

Amazing – such grace..

 

Since it wasnt such a quality pic i didnt want send it you and so the wait began.Months went by with no luck and finally a couple of weeks ago my friends were watching sport at Caprice.We’d been there a while when suddenly my mate Rob’s eyes focused on something behind me.

 

Few can contain themselves

Rob is an even bigger fan and before I knew it, I was delegated to document the moment he met the TBG. Look at him ..he tried to hold it together but the excitement was overwhelming!”

Much appreciated
Siraj Savage

My goodness, he really is over-excited! Nearly as excited as John Smit in that TBG sighting he had with Monty and Butch James that time..

The TBG – making wishes come true since 1927.

It’s not often that we get a sighting OF another TBG sighting (Tall Blonde Guy). Especially when the person involved in the original sighting is so overcome by emotion that they don’t even get a photo of themselves!

Marc P tells us about the magical moment, that night at Asoka.

Dear Seth,

I thought I would send you this gift of a TBG sighting from Asoka the other night.

 

Such raw emotion..
Such compassion!

 

While I didn’t manage to get a proper photo of myself with the great man; I think I captured a picture that really sums up his divine powers and gives us an indication of the true effect he has on people.

The two men in the picture are, as you mentioned in previous TBG sightings, almost reduced to tears – I think the best phrase to describe it is “pure elation and content”. I don’t know who the guy is that The TBG is trying to help compose, but his friend his very amusing, laughing at his friend, well aware of the emotion he is feeling.

Needless to say, my night was not the same after I snapped this beauty and of course neither was it for anyone else present that day. Personally I’ve just had this “buzz” running through my body ever since that day!

Thanks for the gift that is 2oceansvibe and The TBG.

Marc P

Aaah, God that is something else.

Thank you, Marc, for that photo more than anything else. The compassion displayed by the great man is so evident. He UNDERSTANDS the raw emotion and adrenalin experienced by the young fan. He is AWARE of his own powers and the pleasure felt by everyone in his presence.

And why would he not?

For that is why he was given to us.

Here ends today’s lesson.

Thanks be The TBG.

Those of you who don’t believe in magic will struggle with this one. While Santa Claus and the tooth fairy turn out to be fake as we get older, there is no denying the realness of the “myth” that is The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy).

In one of the most beautiful TBG sightings of our time, one Luca V recalls the moment a lifelong dream came true, and finally gave him the proof he needed to ward off the naysayers and the non-believers.

Let’s take that journey with him:

Luca V finally has his moment with the great man
and living legend – The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)

 

Good evening Seth,

It is almost 24 hours since I saw the brilliant light that is the TBG – and I am still trying to make sense of it all.

So there I was, taking it easy at Assembly waiting for Thieve to get the show started for aKING’s Against All Odds album launch, when out of the corner of my eye I saw something I once thought to be a rumour – an urban legend if you will.

How wrong I was to entertain such an absurd idea. I walked up to the TGB, and in the most humble manner I could muster in such monumental company, I asked if he was alright with strangers asking for a photograph with him. After a chuckle and replying in the positive, the TBG put his arm around my shoulder and casually struck a pose with the grace that only the TBG possesses. Photographer Mark Reitz captured that moment – a moment I will always treasure. (see attached)

Perhaps it was the parking lot pinner from earlier, or maybe just the general positive vibe going around – I don’t know – but as you can see I was all-smiles from then on. I know now that the TGB is as real as it gets.

Thank you, TBG.

Enjoy living the holiday and strengthening ties up north Seth.

Regards,

–
lucavincenzo

Thank you for that, Luca, and thank you for the kind words. There’s nothing that can compare to that feeling, is there?

I’ve seen and read a number of TBG sightings in my time now, and I’m often reduced to tears when I go over the reports of the child-like elation felt by people across the globe who have all shared that one special moment with The TBG. People talk about how “amazing” it was after they’ve met with The Queen or The Pope or Prince or Gisele Bundchen – but their “experience” seems to pale in comparison to the euphoria felt during and after a TBG sighting.

You know, I chuckle to myself when civilians come up to me in the street and start verbally attacking me, shouting things like, “The TBG doesn’t exist!” or “stop peddling lies and evil myth!” I just let them carry on, because it’s not their fault. They don’t know any better. But then I say a little prayer for them; hoping, that one day, they will have their moment with the global icon of all things incredible, The TBG. He will heal them. He will forgive them. And they will be cleansed.

Amazing how the TBG is an urban legend in more than one sense of the word.

Urban God would be more appropriate.

It’s a month on since the last TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting which took place in the hamlet of Koringberg (here). We have received persistent rumours that he is currently in London, but he must surely have only JUST left, what with this very fresh TBG sighting by 2oceansvibe Character “The Character Formlerly Known as The Loose Forward ,” Bob Skinstad, just this Sunday in Noordhoek.

Let’s check it out:

Seth!

Oh my word I cannot believe my luck! Now I know everyone talks about how lucky they were to stumble upon the TBG, but it is not often that the TBG comes to YOU!

 

Bob S gets his moment with the great man

 

Living in Noordhoek does not afford us the pleasure of too many celebrities, let alone global celebs and men of mystery, so the last thing I expected on Sunday was to have the The TBG positioned in my line of fire at Cafe Roux in Noordhoek.

I was strolling along to meet some friends and, come to think of it, there was an inordinate amount of birds chirping in the trees, children laughing and general happiness in the air. I looked up and a sharp white light was pointing down from the sky towards a table at Cafe Roux. I looked a little closer and, would you believe it, there sat THE TBG! His reported aura is everything and more than what has been said before. I cannot describe it fully as Latin is not my mother tongue.

As a Noordhoek local, I didn’t want to seem out of place and had to concentrate to keep my cool and act like these things happened every day. I plucked up enough courage and went up to him to introduce myself and welcome him to the area.

WHAT an amazing guy! He was super cool and thanked me for the support. “You probably want a picture?” he asked, which was obvious as I didn’t realise I was subconsciously holding my phone like a camera! (How “emboerrissing”!).

So before I said anything silly I just said “YES PLEASE TBG!” and got this shot.

What a moment. What a day. What an incredible man.

I would like to add that, unlike other celebs I have met, he is a lot taller in person!

Thanks TBG.

- Bob S

Wow! that was quite something! And how are The TBG’s powerful shoulders!!! *sigh* His might has no bounds.

Keep an eye out in London. Seriously, they reckon he is there… somewhere!

And don’t forget you can catch Bob on Twitter HERE.

No sign of Fleck joining Twitter yet. Although he did apparently threaten it yesterday.

A stunning day had by all! Andrew from the Hi-Five Scooter Club organised a scooter rally that took place on voting day (GO DOLPHINS!), yesterday, which kicked off at the Waterfront Vespa Shop, next to the Caltex station. A rally that was put together to highlight the perfect match that is scooters and Cape Town, as well as the earth friendliness nature of scooters as a mode of transport, versus cars (sis!).

Everyone assembled at, say, 12ish and it was quite apparent that the reporters from Die Burger and the Cape Times knew about the leopard print thong scooter streak I had promised. As a reminder to those of you who have just tuned in, I promised (in a video that has been watched now 40,000 times) to my stunning fantastic loyal readers that I would ride my scooter through the Camps Bay Strip with a leopard print thong , should I win the 2009 South African Blog Awards *cough* which I duly did.

Lois Lane from Die Burger
Taking notes. Cute.

I must say it’s a very cool vibe, the whole thing. Sure, it’s a far cry from the hard-core Harley riding fraternity who ride en masse from time to time. “BLAAAH BLAAAAH”, we’re driving past! Versus “beep beep, hiya buddy!” So ja, we were cute. We were cool.

And so, of course, the time came for me to “de-robe.” Which I did outside (what was) Carlucci’s in Bantry Bay. The FULL rally stopped to allow me a completely non-private moment. Thank God I had a drag on a pinner earlier and the full impact of the moment didn’t set in. (And thank God I gave a little trim the evening before).

The Rotherham Diet pays dividends

The events that unfolded thereafter included a a stand-up scooter thong streak past Caprice and the rest of The Camps Bay Strip.

Good day!
Note the strategically places mirror

All was captured on video, which will be featured in Friday’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girls Show, featuring Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and FHM model, Genevieve Morton.

So you’ll just have to wait until then to see the spectacle that was.

We cruised on past parliament (giving the obligatory election day toot-toot) and ended up at Speedway Cafe in Gardens where the van der Spuy brothers supplied generous pints of Jack Black beer! It was all just too wonderful to behold!

And so, for now, quietly enjoy this little sunset on the night of the scooter rally. The day I wore a leopard print thong. The day of the South African General Election, 2009.

Camps Bay – 22 April, 2009

Well done. Well done, all of you.

And of course a massive thank you for Rynier and the rest of the team at Vespa for all there help and support. What a great brand for the Cape Town lifestyle.

What a great fit for the vibe!

Check out the full range of Vespa’s HERE

GO DOLPHINS!

[thanks shawn b and brandon g for pics]

ps. there are mentions in today’s Die Burger and Cape Times on pages 3 and 5 respectively.

I trust you enjoyed the use of the word “respectively” back there.

Phillip W sent this in, asking the question, “Is this the TBG ?” (Tall Blonde Guy)

Before signing off, he did mention that he doubted that the TBG would sit in traffic.

Another pretender
Unaware that without an aura or glow
no one would ever believe he was The TBG

Exactly right, Phillip, The TBG has never been seen in traffic before. And there is a good reason for that, I might add.

As similarly displayed by one of his former students, a fellow by the name of Moses; The TBG often parts the traffic on the highway – leaving a clear path for him to walk through and spread his love and might. This is clearly a more difficult task than parting water , or an ocean (or a “Dead Sea” – Gee wow – that’s difficult – duh!) as cars are made of metal! Such is the power of the great free spirit.

This is the word of The TBG.

Thanks be to The TBG.

The last TBG sighting was back in January, which is quite understandable; given the amount of joy and bliss that the great man spreads around the world on a daily basis. He can’t be in Cape Town ALL the time.

His attention to detail and time he makes for “the little people” is nothing short of astounding and something that should be mentioned.

I am referring to this, the latest TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting , in the small Western Cape hamlet of Koringberg.

Phenomenal footage. Simply phenomenal!

The TBG – explaining mind control to some of his followers

Hi Seth,

I arrived in the village of Koringberg last night, way out on the N7, invited by a partner of Hush Hush to relax and get away from busy Cape Town.

As I woke up in my private cottage in true 2oceansvibe style, after a fantastic evening and peaceful sleep, I opened my eyes and walked out on the stoep to admire the awesome morning view – you would not believe what I experienced!!! It is true what they say, nothing can prepare you for this view, let alone, early (11am) in the morning in Koringberg.

 

Such poise.

A devout follower, asks the TBG to read her palm

 

It was The TBG. In person, in Koringberg. Koringberg?! I just had to let you know – after all, it is not every day that one has such an enlightening experience! I dusted off my eyes, walked outside, and there He was. “The TBG”, about to ride Chocolat – the most beautiful thoroughbred stallion of the village (what else?).

I managed to track him down later that day, on someone else’s stoep this time, surrounded by gorgeous girls! of course.

The undisputable evidence of this claim is the picture I’ve sent you.

Cheers,

Delamaine

Well done, Delamaine! Although you weren’t able to actually meet him and capture a photograph of that moment, your time spent so near to him must have cleansed your soul given a sense of enlightenment.

I know people that would have killed to have been in your shoes that day. What am I saying! I know a number of people that have killed to get that close.

Not that it’s a big deal. “Ooh, you’re so bad! You killed someone! Oh my God! He’s a murderer!”

Pathetic. It just really annoys me how everyone runs around pointing fingers, but then, behind closed doors, everyone kills from time to time. Sure, if it becomes a habit, THEN have a go at the guy.

But a one-off? To get closer to The TBG?

Please, get off your high horse. Save your judgement for the day that you get close to him – see if you can handle it.

It looks like this

I’ve had this for a few days but just wanted the dust to settle before blowing your minds again, with this, the first TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting of 2009.

Andreas’s life changed forever that night, as destiny and the universe joined for one purpose and one purpose alone – to give him the one thing he wanted more than ever..

Andreas gets his moment with the great man.
Just LOOK at the TBG. LOOK how incredible he is.

Hi Seth,

I am still short on words after my experience on Monday night. I knew that on my way to Oblivion something special would happen. Something surreal. Something beyond a gaggle of tophat-wearing midgets.

I could feel it in the car on the way there… but I was in no way prepared for this… In retrospect, human beings are probably not equipped with the feeling that would allow us to deal with such a situation. Upon his entry into the bar everyone lit up, they beamed from ear to ear, they glowed… people started smiling, a buzz developed and people could feel that sense of belonging, that sense of being one with the universe.

HE was here. Salvation had arrived.

I could liken this experience with what one would expect to feel when admiring Michelangelo’s mural at the Sistine Chapel.

But after this, one realises that that mural is just a painting. The TBG is far more.

Andreas

My God, that was beautiful. I know you’ll think I’m goofin’ around, but I genuinely have a tear trickling down my face. Not because I am sad, but because I too have met the TBG and I understand 100% what Andreas felt that night. It is impossible to fully describe but so joyous simply to think.

Andreas, 2009 is going to be the greatest year of your life.

God bless.

Or should I say, TBG Bless?

Apparently The TBG taught God everything he knows.

Although God still struggles when it comes to his Kika Sack skills..

I was very impressed when the box of 2oceansvibe Kika-Sack balls arrived at my door. With the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup hitting town in the not-too-distant future, I couldn’t think of a better branding exercise. I mean, check how cool are these little guys?

2oceansvibe branded KIKA-SACK balls

I know! How stunning?

So I let the two most skilled hand-ball-eye-foot-mouth coordinated 2oceansvibe characters, The TBG and The Dude, borrow the set for a morning on the lawn of the Camps Bay strip, just opposite Caprice.

And this was the result – a new Kika-Sack record!
