It’s getting closer and closer (four more sleeps to be exact) to Cape Town’s most glamorous and exclusive social event – the 148th running of the Queen’s Plate! And what a brilliant date they have set! Not too close to New Year, but enough time to gather our senses, get some R&R, top up our […]
I tell you, it’s been a few years since I did New Year at The Mount Nelson. The last time was a bit of a blur but, funnily enough, it came up in conversation this week. The Fabrics Guy and I agreed that the last one got a full 10 out of 10, I asked […]
I remember a girl friend of 2oceansvibe being ever so slightly scorned at the emotional neglect dealt to her by 2oceansvibe’s “The Kitesurfer.” We had ploughed through a bottle of bubbly at Karma the one night and time came for me to exit. A tad tipsy, she said unto me (with her fingers snapping in […]
I attended the much anticipated Cape Town 10’s launch at The Grand, in Camps Bay on Thursday evening last week. It was everything I had dreamed of, and more. Especially when I saw Roxy Louw arrive with Hollywood superstar, Christopher Walken. “I got this watch..” Ok, it wasn’t Christopher Walken, it was actually ex-Springbok, Rob […]
Whilst Martin Johnson is probably still reeling from the pounding he got on Saturday, it seems rugby in England has managed to excel in other forms. Remember in August when I told you about the inaugural Rugby Expo? Ja, well it happened – and it was a RAGING success by all accounts. With […]
So we’re about two weeks away from the final day of Mo-vember. For those of you who have JUST this minute come out of a coma, we (and thousands of SA males) are growing our moustaches for the month of November (Mo-vember) and will compete in a day of bowls at The Fresnaye bowling club […]
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]
During Mo-vember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. So not only do you get to support a worthy cause, but you get to humiliate me […]
I’ve never been to the Diemersfontein Wine Farm before and, given that it was the first of it’s kind, I had never before indulged in the Woolworths Wine Festival. And what a treat it was! Positioned next to the town of Wellington and owned by Woolworths co-founders, The Sonnenberg Family, the farm is one of […]
The Volvo Ocean Race is an around the World sailing challenge that happens every three years. It is a MASSIVE undertaking with nine or 10 legs in total and takes over nine months to complete. And they’re in Cape Town in a couple days time! They will undergo repairs and the sailors get rest until […]
A couple of weeks back I told you about Newbie Bowls, the lawn bowling phenomenan engulfing Cape Town. In particular, I mentioned the tournaments they put together at The Glen Country Club above La Med in Clifton. Well… I couldn’t resist and ended up going to see for myself. Wow! I can get VERY used […]
It’s all happening! Friday night will be something to behold! Any Caprice regular will remember every one of these faces. They’re from the old school – the days where dancing on the bar and VodkaRedBull pyramids came standard. Shades of Studio 54, you might say. Incredible flyer Check it out: This Friday […]
I’ll be honest, I had no idea this shit was going down right here in Camps Bay and Clifton! We’ve all seen the Newbie Bowls website before and it was only today that I looked out the car window and spotted the bowling greens from Victoria Road, overlooking Clifton and La Med! I remembered an […]
It’s crazy to think that it was a full year ago that we were galavanting around Darling and enjoying the Western Cape’s premier music festival with SA’s hottest acts, live on stage. And this year it gets even more crazy, because they’ve thrown in the likes of Eagle Eye Cherry with The Dirty Skirts, Goldfish, […]
It’s happening, my friends. We are nearly there. Rocking the Daisies 2008 is upon us. And they’re certainly not fucking around this year, as the poster below will show. I stopped reading after the first three names. Check it out and I’ll tell you about the competition after that.  www.rockingthedaisies.com  Are you feeling […]
Make haste people. That is best advice I can give you. The internationally sought after Cape Town Boat Show is underway at the CTICC from 3 to 5 October 2008. Fairline Squadron 78 – courtesy of Boating World The Fairline Squadron 78 is not to be sneezed at. And with our friends from […]
A buddy of mine directed me to some pretty cool videos of the Springbok rugby team taking on the SA Wheelchair Basketball side. Obviously the Boks got DRILLED! They can be found on the SA Paralympic Team’s website, which also includes info on all our Athletes, Fan mail, Photo Galleries, Schedules, Videos and News. Check […]
Those like-minded people out there will understand the enormity of genuine, well formed networks. Doing business through people you can trust, immediately takes it to the next level. More gets done and more money gets made. It breaks down barriers, you could say. If you didn’t realise what was going on at 2oceansvibe then you’ve […]
There are a lot of key words in that headline, and I hope you took them all to heart. I’ll begin by saying that Kreate SA are organising this party. You know what are they known for, right? Yes, that’s correct – Kreate SA are the guys that gave us all of the beautiful angels […]
Capetonians over 40 might be lucky enough to recall nights at the De Waal Hotel, watching South Africa’s piano/keyboard Rock & Roll maestro, Rupert Mellor playing live at The Oyster Bar. If you were too young to experience it, ask your parents. They’ll tell you that it just doesn’t get any better. They were there. […]
I don’t often laugh out loud. Most things simply aren’t that funny these days. Everything just seems to be a variation of something else. MOST comic acts are so bad of late that I actually feel violated after watching them. I generally go home, weakened; I dive into the shower and scrub my body, in […]
I won’t spend too much time on this ‘cos I’ll get really worked up and I want to save that energy for my story on the Camps Bay Friendly Store and the fact that the manager is without a doubt ACTIVELY trying to murder me (I have proof). Winex 2007 – Cape Town’s worst event […]
If I don’t write this now then it just won’t be done. As a wordsmith, I lose the excitement to write a “piece” about 72 hours after conception. I came up with an “angle” for Saturday’s J&B Met story on Sunday evening. So it’s been just under 72 hours since then. The angle was to […]

The sanctity of the safe house following a weekend at the Rocking The Daisies Music Festival is something quite moving. I snuck down to Camps Bay for a swim (which was heavenly) and am now safe from all harm. Ok, so, I have finally experienced my first music festival and I can report that I […]
I’ve done my time in Plettenberg Bay (my fondest memory would be hitch-hiking and later jumping out of a moving car because the driver was about to rape me) and Knysna but, until this last weekend, I haven’t had the pleasure of partaking in the annual Knysna Marathon and the off-shoot of the event which […]
