When the wind blows, the party will rock
[permalink]

I had a lot of options to play with in the headline there. I thought of going for the "when the groupies blow" angle, but it seemed to obvious. Nonetheless, we are PARTICULARLY excited about the upcoming Rocking the Daisies rock festival at Modder Rivier Farm, Darling, 75 km up the West Coast from Cape Town. Sounds too easy to me. The area is called 'Darling' - I'm not trying to be all Ab Fab this morning.

I like what they've done here - with the car....and the daisies...and the whole vibe in general. Takes me back to the 60's when I was busy courting your mother.

The organisers of Rocking the Daisies have basically played out of their socks. They have single handedly put together one of the biggest outdoor rock festivals Cape Town (and CERTAINLY 'Darling'!) has ever seen. And yes, they've got all of the 2oceansvibe favourites there as well. Try these names out for size : Dirty Skirts, Goldfish, Cassette, Parlotones, Finkelsteins, Louise Carver, 3 Bored White Guys, Spoonfeedas, The Rudimentals, Sitter, Hog Hoggidy Hog, Fletcher, Breakfast Included and much more.

It runs over three days from Friday 29 September to Sunday 1 October 2006. It's on a farm and it is a festival, so, yes, we're talking camping here people. Take food. Take meat. Take vegetables (I believe mushrooms keep very well). I also wouldn't rule out a bit of Swazi to keep you warm.

Tickets are R295 each if you buy beforehand or R325 at the door.

RIGHT HERE ON 2OCEANSVIBE !

That's right, you heard me! I managed to get the organisers of Rocking the Daisies absolutely smashed the other night and convinced them to give me 10 tickets to give away to you, our cherished, precious (precocious?) 2oceansvibe readers!

So what do you have to do to win tickets? Quite simple. Send an email to editor@2oceansvibe.com and tell us WHY you should win the tickets. The best entries will win tickets. The giveaway will end when there are no more tickets left to give away - which I think makes perfect sense.

What a wonderful start to a Wednesday!
