While our Facebook photos from the event can give you an idea of the awesomeness of the vibe that day, it can never do it justice. That is why I invented the ‘moving picture’ and, subsequently, this video. Jump in and re-live that day with us. Feel the vibe throughout your body, not just through […]
“Hey guys. I’m Gary Thomas. Welcome to The Waiting Room. We’re going to play you some music, in case you were wondering about all…this.” So began Gary Thomas’ Long Street gig last night. It stayed awkward, but the music got better as the night went on.
If Charlie Sheen carries on like this I’m making a shrine for him on my wall. 36 hours of coke and vodka until your stomach pushes through your oesophagus. This is the work of a superhuman. Charlie’s in rehab now, but I’m sure it’s only a break. Superhumans also detox.
The inventors and perfectors of binge drinking, the British, have come up with a handy little tool called the Booze Calculator. This highly scientific test will help you find out exactly what you did to your body and your wallet this weekend. Click through to take the test.
Imagine that? Well it’s a very real thing, my friends. Goldfish are performing a DANGEROUSLY intimate gig on the roof of the Cape Royale hotel tomorrow (Friday) from 15h30 and all the 2oceansvibe brands are taking care of drinks. That’s right – we’re talking Jack Daniel’s, Corona, Jack Black, BOS iced tea, Boschendal bubby, De […]
I’m not sure how to feel about this. Scottish Spirits is testing out canned whiskey in South America on the grounds that outdoor drinkers would rather not have to lug a bottle of the stuff around. You also look like less of an insane drunk if you’re taking sips from a can instead of swigs from a bottle of scotch, so there’s that.
Well, I guess Ryan Rusnak wins at weekends. Nice try, everybody. This dude set up his fridge to fire a variety of beers at him from across the room whenever he keys in the command on his iPhone. I mean sure, he’s choosing to have Bud Light thrown at him, but cultural differences. Focus on the potential here.
Applying for jobs sucks. It’s awkward and painful and time-consuming. But some people know how to do it right – how to avoid getting caught in the rat-trap of sweaty-palmed interviews and communicate a certain level of coolness at the same time. Presented below is one such person’s job application. Please – read it, and learn to be a better person.
This is a novel idea from our ruling party: Move the end of year party to the start of the year, stretch it out over a weekend and end the whole thing with a concentrated celebration bash at the Moses Mabhida stadium. Add class to the event by serving Jack Daniel’s honey-glazed boerewors and subsidising the liquor. Now who said governing shouldn’t be fun?
You also bump into things, talk loud, take swipes at lamp shades and smash your fist through tempered glass when you’re drunk? Well, it’s not because we were simply raised that way. It’s not even the liquor. It’s Drunk Gene.
There are some shopping malls in Cape Town that are not very much fun to visit. Retail and culinary quarters, on the other hand, are packed full of celebrities, and the Cape Quarter is one of them. But they’re not content with providing you with eye candy, they want to give you free Boschendal bubbly, too. Click through for details.
That little area area at the top of Bree Street really has become the place to be seen. With HQ, Caveau and &Union stretching up to DVD Nouveau, Rotisserie 360, Jardine’s and now a brand new Vespa store! It’s right next to Jardine’s (just down Bloem Street at 4-way stop) and it opens with a […]
This is hardly breaking news, but our inboxes have been haunted by it in the last few days, so we thought we’d fill in those of you who haven’t seen it already. Brandhouse is this festive season’s latest corporate entity to launch an anti drink-driving television and print campaign. Let’s just say “prison” and “enforced spooning”.
All I need to say about Varsity Blues is Ali Larter and whipped cream bikini. Yoh, even as a female I had trouble breathing. And we all know that it is just about every guy’s fantasy to have his lady do this for him. So laydezz, get this alcoholic version of whipped cream and makes things even more interesting.
Hearken, The Cape Town Festival of Beer approaches. A lot of people have asked, does Cape Town really need another beer festival? We’d like to point out that what Cape Town is getting is a Festival of Beer, not a beer festival. What’s the difference? The former is sophisticated and fun. The latter never is. Now, would a certain 2oceansviber like a 2oceansvibe Festival of Beer special? You would? Click through for details.
It’s a festival of beer like no other. From 25 to 27 November (this coming weekend), Hamilton’s Rugby Club (next to the Cape town stadium) will be home to the 2010 Cape Town Festival of beer. With over 40 different beers and 20 brewers on board, not to mention live band, big screens (Boks vs […]
Some weeks ago, Finnish divers discovered several crates of two-centuries-old champagne and beer from a sunken ship in the Baltic Sea for nearly two centuries. They then drank some of it because, hey, why not. And, because sharing is nice, Finnish authorities sponsored a public opening and tasting of the champagne last Friday.
Be sure to get the new GQ Magazine for December, which features 2oceansvibe’s favourite choice of bubbly, Boschendal. They say Boschendal is made for people “with a sparkling wit and sunny disposition, but are serious about quality.” Umm, yes – that’s pretty much how we roll, here at 2oceansvibe! Click to see the feature – […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: drunk Facebooking ruins lives.
Thankfully the good people at Webroot Software have seen the urgent need to curb this scourge of humanity.
Smirnoff brings the world’s leading club brand, GODSKITCHEN, back to South Africa with their massive Boombox production and world No. 4 DJ act; Above & Beyond. Previous years in SA have seen sold out tours with DJ superstar David Guetta in 2008 and with world No.1 DJ Armin van Buuren in 2009. Two mind blowing […]
Researchers at NEC System Technologies have designed robots with the ability to identify dozens of different wines, cheeses and appetizers, because that’s something we need robots for. Except they think people taste like bacon.
The thing about the future that excites me the most, besides the talking monkeys and the sexy robots, is the cure for the hangover. Some mornings I wake up and I just want to pry out my liver with a spoon and get myself a new one – and thanks to the researchers at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, that dream is a possibility.
There are some products that offer depressing insight into the kind of marketplace we’re living in today. Sandwiches that use chicken for bread; drinks that give teenagers heart attacks; fixie bikes. But every now and then a product comes along that tells you it’s all going to be okay – and this, friends, is that product.
Yesterday’s winner, Andrew Webb, walked away with a R1,000 Jack Daniel’s hamper and the chance of winning VIP tickets to the Whisky Live Festival and two nights in the Cape Royale hotel, courtesy of Jack Daniels and 2oceansvibe Radio! We are giving away another hamper today, and another one on Thursday, with the winners of each day going against each other for the grand prize on Friday! Follow the link to win today!
For those of you who weren’t aware, the Whisky Live Festival is the biggest of its kind in the world. That’s how much we dig our whisky, here in South Africa. It runs from Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 November in Cape Town, and Wednesday 10 to Saturday 13 November in Johannesburg. You have no excuse to miss this incredible event – especially when we are giving away massive daily prizes and VIP packages, courtesy of Jack Daniel’s! Follow the link to find out more..
“Drunkorexia” – a combination of starving yourself and bingeing on alcohol as a means of not gaining weight. Destructive yet genius at the same time…
Marisol Valles, 20-year-old criminology student, recently became police chief of Guadalupe, one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico – because no-one else wanted the job. Guadalupe is second only to Juarez in terms of violence; Valles was “the only person willing to accept the position.”
You know that feeling when you get into the car after having a few too many? Don’t deny it, you know you have done it. You turn the corner and wham, there’s a road block! There is no adrenalin quite like that. So would it help if they did away with the drunk-driving laws?
Anyone who knows anything about anything in Cape Town will know that &Union, Jack Black and The Neighbourgoods Market are three of the most fun, hip, and cool brands in Cape Town. And it’s not just about the brands – it’s about the people. As with most things/brand/products/people that 2oceansvibe deals with, they aren’t dicks […]
My God, when we announced the Boschendal Cooling Towers competition, we didn’t expect anything this world class to appear! We asked you, the 2oceansvibe readers to send your best footage of the Athlone Cooling Towers (or, rather, the “Ladies of Athlone” – a title which I have NEVER heard before) going down last Sunday. Obviously […]
