INCREDIBLE scenes over the weekend outside Vida e in Green Point, as we see a “prawn” approaching a car guard. A “prawn” approaches a car guard outside Vida e, Green Point The car guard is not quite sure about that prawn – as we notice continued multi-species integration on the streets of Cape […]
Pattie Maes from Media Lab gave this TED talk, regarding a new invention/development they’re working on called “Sixth Sense.” Before we get to the video, I thought I’d fill you in on the vibe. ‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use […]
Cycling helmet attacks in the Southern Suburbs and beyond are a rarity – a rarity that surely adds to the draw of that particular semi-rural lifestyle. Well that’s all changing now, as the helmet attacks in public spaces are becoming more and more common that side of the mountain. This revolting display was taken at […]
It was too easy yesterday. I popped into Vida e on Kloof Road and then waltzed over to Mabu Vinyl, just opposite (in the road leading into the Vida entrance – Rheede Street) to pick up some records. I called the owner, Sugar, from the South of France on the day that Michael Jackson died. […]
BLATANTLY ignoring Vida e’s polite public-led request (here) for cyclists to remove their helmets when frequenting their establishment; it seems that THESE cyclists couldn’t care less about the general public’s wishes regarding their grossly inappropriate, anti-social and imposing behaviour. This, sent in this morning by a 2oceansvibe reader and concerned fellow citizen. Camps Bay […]
Dying for a fresh coffee, I hunted down the new Vida e Caffe which has opened in London. It’s on the corner of Regent Street and Air and is about 200m from Piccadilly Circus tube station. I was pleased to see that everyone’s favourite barista, Msizi, was there, as well as one of the partners, […]
One would think that in a city which is still suffering the heartache and memories of the 9/11 attacks, people would be more mindful when walking into stores and laying on a full-on helmet attack? This, from Kerrin N in New York City: Hi Seth, Greetings from Brooklyn (New York, not Millerton), I […]
You’re rude and you’re coming across as a tool. Kindly remove your helmet. [thanks rob]
This fellow can be found at Vida e in Camps Bay. I enjoy him. Soso Unlike his coffe (which is amazing), his name is “Soso .” No, I am not spicing you. I just hope that when people ask him what his name is, he holds out his hand flat and, before they […]
You might recall the incredible Kika Sack record set by The TBG and The Dude a few months back. 57 kikas in a row, to be exact (check out the footage here). So anyway, the Vida e boyz got involved in the action and attempted to break the current Kika Sack record. Check it out: […]
Talya G alerted me to a tweet on Matthew Buckland’s Twitter page (no, I do not say those words with a straight face) showing a paraglider who clearly missed his mark and ploughed straight into the wall, smashing a window at the restaurant above and landing, BANG, in front of Vida e. Not sure of […]
Are you guys a little chilly over there? Well I want you to know that we ARE thinking about you. In fact, we discussed some of the ex-pats today, as we sipped on a Gelado iced coffee from Vida e . Isn’t that weird? I mean, we were sitting on the beach in the HOT […]
I mention a lot of cool eating and drinking establishments and shops on these pages. Everyone from Caprice and Miss K, to Vida e, Butlers and Woolworths. There is a reason for that; I’ve bought into their brands and I feel it is safe for you to do so as well. They are brands that […]
Before we chat about that, I thought I should just mention that this year’s Coke Fest (now called CokeZero Fest ’09) is featuring Oasis as its headline act. That’s right. You heard it here first. Other bands on the bill at this stage include Snow Patrol…and the Dirty Skirts. I know. Pretty rad. Now check […]
I thought you’d enjoy this quick focus on Cape Town’s weather in days to come. Tragic, really. Shame It’s pretty straightforward, I think you’ll find. All meetings, if any, should be conducted on the Atlantic Seaboard. Basic stuff. Coffee should be drunk at Vida e in Camps Bay. That’s a given. Lunches, dinner […]
Like taxis, we have come to tolerate our lycra-engulfed brethren and now realise that the only defense is to simply divert young childrens’ attention away from the bizarre behaviour and stray balls on display. Sunday morning gave us some extreme examples of how the Shimano Warriors’ anti-social behaviour has gone WAY past the edge of […]
I was a little peckish the other morning so I popped into the Vida e on Kloof Road. I felt like something different and asked Msizi if the Prego Roll was any good. He said I would enjoy it. So off I went. The Prego Roll – by Vida eInsane As worldly and […]
Nash of BangerAndNash fame sent this in, with the subject “Seth… is that you?” SETH WP – not mine Umm, no. Whilst I am flattered that you thought of me, I can confidently tell you that that is not my vehicle, nor is it my number plate. But while we’re here, I would urge […]
