29 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 10 Comments
Capetonian Dave Meinert was recently asked to look after a mate’s dog for the weekend. Apparently that included strapping a camera to the pet’s back and making a music video for local electro-hero Johnny Neon. And boy, are we glad he did that! See the video that has had everyone talking for the last week – after the jump.

Are You Still “Very Keen To Get A Scooter?” (Yawn)
16 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
It is quite alarming, the number of people out there that are “very keen to get a scooter” – but they never get their ass into gear. They realise what a pleasure it is to drive in the city – skipping the traffic and parking next to front doors and beaches, with no car guards […]

Divorced Dad Appears In Court For CT School Shooting
15 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Jealousy can make you crazy. And ex-es can be infuriating. The man who was killed yesterday afternoon outside St George’s Grammar in Mowbray was shot by the ex-husband of the woman he was engaged to. While there’s still uncertainty around why he resorted to pulling out a gun, it’s not hard to surmise there was no love lost between the fiance and the former husband.

Calm After The Storm – A Wrap Up Of CT’s Weather Week In Photos
10 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Commenting on the weather is usually as insightful as commenting that a pregnant chick’s belly “is growing”. It’s obvious, a bit silly and we all still do it. But in Cape Town this week the weather really was worth mentioning – and worth looking back at.

08 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
In early 2011, Cape Town was buzzing with Hollywood fever as scenes for the action blockbuster Safe House were filmed across the city. Local women were frantically following Ryan Reynolds’ every move as they tried to catch a glimpse, phone number or kiss from the hunky actor. Despite the sudden refocus of the local females’ […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: Safe House (2012)
08 Feb 2012 by SPLING / No Comments
Safe House is one helluva ride! Man-on-the-run movies have always been popular. They carry the thrill of the chase, the drama of a man wrongfully accused, the natural ebb-and-flow of a road trip movie and the narrative equivalent of an ant, a magnifying glass and a hot day.

The Oasis Restaurant At The Mount Nelson
03 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I had a lunch “meeting” a couple weeks ago and I told the guy that I would see him at the Oasis Restaurant at the Mount Nelson. “Are you aware of it?” I asked him. “Cape Town’s best kept secret,” he replied. Wow – that’s laughable. I know a lot of places and things claim […]

Woodstock – “Hood 7” Needs A Name – NameYourHood.co.za
27 Jan 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
People get pretty mixed up with Woodstock – with Victoria Road and Sir Lowry Road and all the rest. There’s the bit where the Biscuit Mill is and then there’s another bit where The Armoury is and Ogilvy and La Bottega bar. The suburb will always remain Woodstock but it is clear it needs to […]

Taxi Rank: New Mobile Web App For Cape Town
13 Jan 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Taxi Rank is a newly-launched web app that lets folks in Cape Town order cabs online or via smartphones – which isn’t in itself especially new or useful. What is pretty neat is that, once pick-up and drop-off points are specified, the service also provides estimated quotes by Cape Town’s various taxi companies, organized by price.

This just happened at Cape Town International Airport. For the older folk, that’s “DF Malan Airport.” We are not sure how this happened but assume it has something to do with the driver wanting to avoid the airport parking scam. Follow the link to enlarge the photograph.

It’s been a while since we hung out at the Planet Bar. And when I say “hung out” I mean arriving there at lunch time and leaving at midnight. Because that’s what we used to do. Then time got lost and some years went by, and now I see Cape Town’s coolest lounge/champagne bar is […]

Mavericks Billboards Coming Down Following Outrage
18 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I must say I did do a double-take when I drove into the city yesterday (in my awesome new MINI coupé) and saw a Mavericks billboard with a half naked Eastern European woman on it, tangled in sailing rope. The caption read something along the lines of “I was out sailing.” “Hmm, that’s a little […]

Lower Portion Of Kloof Street To Get New Neighbourhood Name
14 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments

Forming part of the expansive Gardens suburb, this flurrying node of Cape Town’s city includes such popular haunts as the Mount Nelson Hotel, vida e, […]

Book Review: Cape Town: Up Close & Personal by Mia Feinstein
14 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Who would want this book? It appears to me the perfect book for Capetonians living far away from home. They will page through and go, “oh ya, check this, I used to live there.” “There’s my house.” ‘I use to go running right there.” It’s perfect for an expat’s coffee-table; they can say to their dinner guests, “While I go and baste the chicken, take a look at that book, it’s where I used to live.” And then wonder why they are basting a chicken in a small London flat instead of living in Cape Town.
