I have wanted to write something a little more serious for a while now. I was going to write about how we value rotten dinosaurs more than all human life on the planet. That didn’t quite work out. I kinda figured Randall Munroe had the ridiculousness of that situation covered. With illustrations to boot.
Anyone that has spent enough time with me (and by enough I mean more than 10 minutes) will know that I am awkward as all fuck. I also suffer from a debilitating disease called bitchface. Bitchface, for the uninitiated, is an autoimmune disease that causes you to look unimpressed with, or in severe cases pissed off at, everyone in the room.
Okay so, cards on the table right now. There is very little snarky commentary in this article. In fact I practically have Henk’s dick halfway down my throat, but hear me out because I think I have legitimate cause. That out of the way, I have to admit I am extremely excited for Park Acoustics’ fourth birthday this Sunday.

Before I even attempt to go any further I need to get something off my chest. Whoever decided that ‘maring on a Thursday night was a good idea is (was?) a twat. It may have started well, but it ended like this…
Another-Day have teamed up with GreenPop to raise funds to plant trees in Zambia. It costs R100 a tree and, at the moment, we’re looking to raise around R3000 in total. We’ve already started raising funds but need your help to get more out there. Help us by clicking this link and giving what you can to the cause.
![The Night Out: Joshua Grierson Live In A Westdene Living Room [Review]](/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DSC_0261-201x201.jpg)
Tuesday night was a bit of a surreal experience for me. I was meant to go see Joshua Grierson and Naas Veld play a semi-private gig in Westdene. The event was hosted by City Soiree, a Cape Town performing arts organization that would fit in just as well in Williamsburg, New York as it would here (Williamsburg is still cool, right?).
I’m sure you’ve all heard of Greenpop, no? Jeremy Loops is a big fan, and he’s a cool guy so if he’s a fan you should probably be one too. Anyway here’s the deal. They are trying to be Captain Planet and save good old mother nature, but they’re not all weird like PETA so they’re doing it by throwing a tree planting, people educating, music festival in Zambia (a way better idea than creepy Pokemon spoofs) and now they need your help.
Two Fridays ago, Town Hall and The Woods played host to Cool as Folk. That means it’s fairly regular (it’s happened seven times now and in the event world that’s as regular as an all bran diet). The aim was to raise money to plant trees in Zambia and because nobody actually cares about trees, they tricked us into giving them our money by getting a bunch of cool folky type bands to play for us.
In mid Feb a local artist smashed an Ai Weiwei art piece worth a million dollars. The spontaneous act of nerd rage/artist rage/extreme FOMO (you pick) happened at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), where Maximo Caminero, a Dominican born artist, was so overcome by the vases that he was possessed by the devil and threw it on the floor.
