A fun night of folk and a day of heritage

On Monday night a couple of friends and I went to this environmental fundraiser folk music thing called "Cool as Folk" It was SOOO fun. There is literally nothing that I love more than shakin my hips to some live music..especially some funky afro-folk. The concert was at this place called Side Show which is usually all electronic-dupstep-madness so it was funny being there under different circumstances. They decorated the entire venue making it look almost like a circus on the inside annnnnd there were fire dancers!! Crazy! Anyway the main act was Jeremy Loops who I am now obsessed with and have been listening to on my iTunes on repeat. He is similar to the American musician Zach Deputy in that they are both "one-man-bands" and are both super talented. I had the best time dancing the night away and walked out of it with a free bottle of organic/fair trade wine called "Live-a-little"...aweeeesome! I'm gonna pop that open on Friday for my bday!

Then yesterday was South African Heritage day! So we didn't have any classes! Score! My apartment went on a township tour of the Langa Township and then went to Mzoli's which is pretty difficult to explain but was an awesome experience. Basically it is this restaurant in the middle of a township that is all of these picnic tables and extremely loud music playing and people drinking and dancing and eat meat. Literally insane amounts of meat. I was little bit turned off by it because they come out with this huge plastic crates just filled with meat and as many of you know I get pretty queezzyy about meat but everyone said it was delicious. I can't think of a better way to celebrate heritage day than being in the heart of cape townian heritage. And! I got this sick hat that has the zipcode of the Langa township on it which I am pretty psyched about :)

Nowwww I am off to hike up to Rhodes Memorial to read a book and decompress because I was up until 330am writing an International Politics paper and my brain is feelin like pudding.
Later folks!:)
