Tapas And Jazz Sundays At The EighteenHundred Grill Room
Some places hold specials. Others hold special events. The EighteenHundred Grill Room is one such place, and what with it perched beneath my beloved residence, the Cape Royale Hotel, I’ve been known to nip in there more regularly than not. They’re laying on the special treatment this winter with a Tapas and Jazz series, happening […]
MY RESIDENCE, THE CAPE ROYALE HOTEL, GETS IT’S SECOND ‘WORLD LUXURY HOTEL’ AWARD
Yawn.. It’s not altogether surprising that the Cape Royale hotel has nailed another World Luxury Hotel award – they are, after all, a 2oceansvibe Partner and winning awards for excellence is pretty much standard around here. And I’m not talking about the standards the hotel has set when it comes to “boutique fully-serviced hotel’ living, […]

THE FULL “SETH SONG” (AND LYRICS) BY I SCREAM & THE CHOCOLATE STIX
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are […]

MONDAY MORNING SPICE
Pilot Ejects Before Jet Crashes & Explodes – This reminds me of when Goose died. Maverick and Goose had to eject when their plane went into a “flat spin.” Only Goose ejected into the cockpit canopy and was killed immediately.

SKETCHBOOKTRAILS – A JOURNEY IN FINE ART
“Taf” from Sketchbooktrails contacted me about doing an oil painting of yours truly. I had never had an “oil” done of me and was more than flattered by the gesture – especially since she said she was also doing one of Goldfish (The Blonde and Baby Jesus) “Sure thing,” I told her. “Do I have […]
A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SETH’S CAPE ROYALE PENTHOUSE..
All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel. As it is my primary residence, you can imagine what intimate never-seen-before details were caught on camera.

GOOGLE STREET VIEW FOR CAPE TOWN GOES LIVE!
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]

SETH MISSES CAPE ROYALE “EQUINOX” SPA AND “1800” RESTAURANT SPECIALS

In particular, at1800 Restaurant and Equinox spa! So I thought I better pop them up here for […]
THE ALL NEW JAGUAR XJ – NOW WITH IT’S OWN HARD DRIVE!
I just got my latest issue of Car Magazine in the post and spotted the all-new Jaguar XJ on the cover. Jeepers, but that is a beauty! The Cape Royale has been driving me around in the XF which has been an absolute dream, but I must say I wouldn’t mind an upgrade, if there’s […]
THE WESTCLIFF HOTEL, JOHANNESBURG
By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings. Ubiquitous annual jaunts to south of France, LA and the med notwithstanding, tearing myself away from The Safe House and the majesty of Cape Town is not an activity I enter into lightly. Hence a trip […]
COME OVER AND PLAY IN THE EQUINOX SPA..
Basically, you can get a glass of bubbly, a facial, a manicure, a pedicure or massage and valet parking, for roughly the same price as you get a sandwich from Melissa’s! That’s how the Equinox Spa at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel, is rolling at the moment. Personally I’ve had close on 500 […]
ULIGHTNING XESHA
I was always amazed that the band LIVE had a song which made use of the Xhosa dialect. But, in hindsight, it’s not that amazing. After all it did appear on their album Throwing Copper which came out in 1994 – the same year Nelson Mandela became president. So it was probably a tribute to […]

JACK PAROW AT THE ULTIMATE X GAMES
I checked out Jack Parow this weekend at the Ultimate-X games on Saturday. It was so sick. There were millions upon millions of skate rats and BMX bandits everywhere!

HOW TO BLOW R100 MILLION
Wonderful individual we have here before us. One Michael Carroll, of Norfolk, UK, won 9.7 million Pounds in a European lottery. The former dustman blew the lot, since the 2002 windfall. It’s a stunning path of destruction which ended with Michael currently putting his mansion on the market to scrape up some change – for […]
SETH’S PRIMARY RESIDENCE, THE CAPE ROYALE HOTEL, GETS TRIPADVISOR “BEST LUXURY HOTEL IN AFRICA” AWARD
Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t. I mean, is it wrong to expect these kind of accolades from 2oceansvibe brands and sponsors? Are we not perhaps numbed by the success of the associated brands and advertisers and people on […]

But I thought this was Andy’s year? Lift him. Lift him high. Then disappear when he […]
MISSING DOG – “COME IN, MOSCOW”
Please, dear God, do not see this as the start of a trend. We do NOT post lost dog ads on 2oceansvibe. But I just thought the rareness of receiving a lost dog ad in my inbox would be enough reason for this “one-off.” It’s very “niche,” don’t you think? And I am SO niche […]
THE ELLE MAGAZINE INTERVIEW – IN FULL
In November I alerted you about the Seth Rotherham feature in the ELLE Magazine. I didn’t publish it in full on these pages, as the magazine was still in circulation. It is now off the shelves and has coincidentally become one of their most successful issues ever. Weird.. especially with that issue of YOU Magazine […]
