I had prepared to write about
the teenager who set the wheel in motion to ultimately result
in Twitter being hacked.
But I just could not write the actual article because my
mind was racing. My mind was filled with TRADITIONAL HEALER.
I decided to rather set the alarm for 5am
and do the article then.
Now, I still can’t concentrate on it.
So, let me rather tell you about TRADITIONAL
HEALER.
It’s gonna have to come out sooner or later anyway.
You see, for quite some time now I have
felt that the party scene in Cape Town has become stale
and boring. It has lost the gees.
And, in the corner of my mind, I have been toying with ideas
on how to revive it.
On Tuesday morning, I had the opportunity
to pitch one of my ideas to the marketing manager of Smirnoff
Spin and Storm.
I must be honest. His response caught me by surprise. Rather,
the speed and nature of his response did.
At the end of my presentation he unhesitatingly
agreed to sponsor the concept and gave me the go-ahead to
launch it at the end of October. In five weeks time!
Suddenly there was work to be done. Lots of work. And very
quickly.
Yesterday, my partner, The Poole Guy and
I met with Ashton Abels and Luwayne Wonder. They immediately
bought into the idea and jumped on board.
Now we have to find a rock guitarist, a
shit-hot percussion player, a hype artist cum MC, a lighting
designer, a wardrobe person, a classical music arranger,
a choreographer and a rehearsal venue.
At the same time I have to think about a marketing strategy,
logo design, invitations, house hip-hop and R&B remixes
and a million other things.
Sound exciting?
Come on. You must be curious.
Don’t stress.
All will be revealed soon.
Our very own TRADITIONAL HEALER
is going to put the gees back so that we can once more all
party in true MOTHER CITY STYLE!
