The Twenty Ten Cape Town Tens! BANG! Cape Town Feb 5-7, 2010 It’s back, my friends. Cape Town’s most anticipated rugby social weekend, the Cape Town Tens tournament is gonna kick it just as hard, but bigger, than last year.

You’ve heard the rumours and now you can take it as gospel – SA’s first REAL edgy reality show launched last week. MAN TV, the 13-episode reality show following four single men around Cape Town as they try to pick up chicks and explain what goes on in their heads is sure to impress. I’ve […]
Everyone is raving about these “Authentic Sessions” at Cafe Caprice, featuring local musicians and DJ’s in the DJ box, spinning tunes that they feel have been an influence on their music and their vibe in general. 340ml are playing tonight – apparently it’s gonna be “off the chain.” Zebra & Giraffe on Friday (don’t tell […]

I didn’t think it would work, when I was first told about @yourlunchrun, the new Twitter account guy whose Twitter page tells us, “Don’t have time for a run? I’ll do it for your lazy Ass. Just enjoy the ‘time out’ and even send requests to make it YourRun – GO!” Apparently he heads off […]
With the signature 2oceansvibe slogan telling us, “Work is a sideline, Live the holiday,” there were two very obvious things that needed to be addessed. First was the launch of 2oceansvibe Jobs – a website which showcases all temporary, freelance and part-time jobs available in Cape Town and beyond. No permanent 9-5 jobs will be […]
I don’t need to remind you about South Africa’s premiere social event happening on Saturday – the annual L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Horse Race at Kenilworth Race Course in Cape Town. And if you haven’t got your ducks in a row, best you pop down to Computicket right now to secure your tickets. Rather I should […]

Springbok captain, John Smit, is currently on a whirlwind book signing tour of South Africa. From Margate to Canal Walk, fans are arriving in their droves, just to get a glimpse of the global superhero and, God willing, an autograph. Not that one should expect complete support at these events, as we witness this adorable […]
What do The Parlotones, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Clegg, FreshlyGround, an 18-piece Big Band Jazz Group, Swan Lake Ballet and ABBA have in common? I’ll tell you what they have in common – they’re all a part of the latest, most unique, globally recognised festival Cape Town has ever seen. I give you, AQUA FESTIVAL! […]

I received the following invite from Puma, essentially giving me carte blanche to do whatever I want in their V&A Waterfront store from 19h00 to 21h00 tomorrow (Tuesday) night. They’re giving me a 45% discount, which I am able to extend to you. And that’s not for sale items – that’s includes NEW STOCK! Not […]
Suffice to say, if you did NOT receive an email confirming you have won tickets to the 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate horse race, then you did not win.. Well done to Michael, Raoul, Alex, Dan and Ryan! To the rest of you… better luck next time! Not that it’s all over for you! Heavens, […]

Oh dear, it looks like we’re playing this game on EASY mode again! Sign me up for all three of those please. Thanks. It’s basically just all one big […]
My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering. It was for that exact reason that I accepted Runner’s World Magazine’s invitation to do the Two Oceans Marathon. They were clearly aware of the fact that I do the same course most weeks – […]
I know what you’re thinking. How can it get to this level? It’s quite silly, really – it’s like we’re playing this game on “easy” mode.. Behold, the ULTIMATE Christmas gift.. Due to the overwhelming amount of awesome videos on 2oceansvibe, you can’t be expected to watch it all – and let’s face it, not […]
A combination of emails I have received, as well as the responses (comments) to the brief 2oceansvibe review of The Killers concert, suggests an overwhelming negativity to the way in which Big Concerts organised the event. OR THIS ONE They (Big Concerts) obviously received the same backlash, as they felt compelled to release the following […]
Please don’t let the same thing happen as what happened with The Killers concert in Cape Town. You know what I’m talking – those of you that woke up too late and couldn’t get tickets. The 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is on January the 9th which is one month away. That’s right, South Africa’s premiere […]
They’ve come in from all over and well done to the peeps that took them. Whilst there certainly were many duplicates in my inbox, the following images are made of pics I received sent in from three different sources. Please enjoy these pics (there are more, make sure you see them all by following the […]
Check it out, peeps – if you’re into your music and, in particular BLUES – then this is the one to nail very HARD on the head! On Saturday the 28th of November the Top Blues and Rock artists in the country will be belting out the Blues and getting even the most jaded individuals […]
I must admit I’ve been dying to do Fantastic Racing for a while now and when Cape Town Tourism invited me to a day at Killarney (same place I did the Audi Advanced Driving Course the other day) racing around in single seater racing cars, well, I couldn’t resist! This is what I found upon […]
I thank God every year for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate – a place where I can truly be myself in the comfort of like-minded people who understand the difference between being classy and being clever. A place where I feel protected from the riff-raff and can discuss the latest issue of Vanity Fair with those […]
The Annual Industry 5 A-Side soccer tournament is back – bigger and better! This year’s venue is Hamilton’s Rugby Club, in the shadows of the 2010 WORLD CUP stadium, with all the excitement of past tournaments, and a huge afterparty at the venue thrown in for extra amounts of fun. Look forward to a great […]
I’ve just been sent these brand new pics of the new Cape Town International Airport, which is opening this weekend! Could someone please check who those bags belong to? What an amazing occasion! I was just at DF Malan last week (en route to Jan Smuts) and the dust from the building over my car […]
I attended a full day at the Audi High Performance Driving Course at Killarney race track in Cape Town. I don’t know if it was because of that speeding fine I got, but my boys at Audi Centre Cape Town felt I couldn’t carry on driving the R8 or the TT without attending the course. […]
You might have spotted the new Cosmopolitan Mag on the shelves which happens to be their annual Beach Babe Summer Special, which includes the 66-page Swimwear guide. I can confirm that is is very hot. I slept next to mine the first night I had it. We spooned. Back to the point of this […]
It’s with great ease that they do, because Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut (lest we forget the Le Grand Pavillon Brut Rosé) has very recently become the sparkling wine of choice for 2oceansvibe. Hardened 2oceansvibers out there will know what it takes to get the nod as a 2oceansvibe brand and, make no mistake, this premium […]
Never before was there a better excuse to grow a moustache and get away with it. It’s the month of Movember and ll you guys should be aware that you have a right, nay a duty to grow your moustache. And no-one can stand in your way either – not your boss and not even […]
I am overly impressed with the vibe being thrown by the new Cape Quarter, in the de Waterkant neighborhood of Green Point. Do yourself a favour and do a little fly-by along Somerset Road, opposite the BP (who are upgrading their shop to include some new kind of Pick ‘n Pay express vibe – much […]
