During those 21 days, there were three big events that occurred in my life. The first one of those events, was of course , RAMfest V.<br />

I took the Friday of from work, and left for Nekkies in Worcester the Thursday evening just after 18:00. When I arrived there, I was blown away with the amount of people already on the site! Way more than 2010, when I arrived the Friday morning just after 8:00am. Found friends of mine, and proceeded to set up camp. After a few drinks, I decided to go and have a look at the stages and entertainment area. Wow - it was amazing! I also heard music coming from around the main beer tent area - and found the gem of the weekend - the Mercury tent! Old school rock 'n roll and 80's music played, people partied, and a strange naked guy was walking around. Found a few people I know, and we partied the night away! The Mercury tent continued to provide the crowd with entertainment throughout the weekend. Thank you Mercury!<br />
<br />
Friday morning saw a lot of very fragile people walking around, and LOTS of new faces - they just kept on coming! We waited for other friends, pitched more tents and gazebo's, and drank a bit more. My girlfriend arrived just after 20:00, and then the party really started. I must say, some of the big name acts disappointed a bit.... I think my pick for best act on the main stage for Friday night is probably Zebra and Giraffe or Desmond and the Tutu's.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning started out much as Friday morning had - just with loads more people. There were even people camping out on the "Gaza Strip", as it was called. Not My Dog, Van Coke Kartel and Isochronous were beyond great, and even blew the international acts away!<br />
<br />
I went to the metal4africa tent a couple of times - great vibe, and good music! Even the electronic pyramid saw me a couple of times, and I must say, I was very impressed! Overall, the whole weekend impressed me - cleaner toilets (cleaner, not clean), lots more food stalls and variety of food stalls, great bar service and just overall a well organized festival! Cannot wait for RAMfest VI.<br />

The second major event, was my birthday. I turned 30. Nuff said - end of that story! The big party is still coming up - will blog after that.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I went to a bachelors. One of the best ones I have been to yet. We started of with Paintball in Jonkershoek. Lots of fun, lots of pain, and even more pain for the bachelor, David Lewis. He wasnt allowed to wear a shirt - only a bright yellow safety vest, and had a cow bell around his waist. Needless to say, he got shot - a lot! After that, he was dressed in a nice little dress and stockings, and we took him to Stellenbosch, we he had to ask for money - he even got money from Bouwer Bosch and Die Straatligkinders!<br />
<br />
And just a little side note - I saw the movie Black Swan this week - wow! Great, stunning movie and very disturbing!!Jaco Brillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11457349705050374095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650540874745971188.post-55434341973670904242011-02-20T18:29:00.001+02:002011-02-20T18:34:00.899+02:00Happy birthday Kurt Cobain<div><br />

Less than two weeks to go until RAMfest 2011! This will be the 4th time that I attend RAMfest, and is by far my favourite weekend of the year. The venue for this insane festival is Nekkies, just outside Worcester. My 1st RAMfest was RAMfest 2, in 2008. The highlight of that weekend, for me, was the first time that I saw Lark live! What an amazing band! Other highlights, for me, included Hog Hoggidy Hog, Fuzigish, Battery 9, Taxi Violence, Knave and Kidofdoom. Here a a few foto's of that weekend - Thanx to Leon van Heerden<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 2009 I returned - no way I am missing RAMfest after my experience of the previous year. 2009 was bigger and better than 2008, no doubt. My favourite part of 2009 was once again Lark - they are truly amazing! Other highlights included the first major performance by Die Antwoord, the reunion show of V.O.D, and brilliant performances by Isochronous, Kidofdoom and Fokofpolisiekar. Here a few pics (taken by myself)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once again, Lark blew me away, with the rest of the line-up not far behind. Pendulum, Jack Parow, Fokofpolisiekar, Die Heuwels Fantasies, Boo! , kidofdoom and The Rudimentals were really, really good!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, for 2011. Weekend of 4-6 March. I cannot wait! No Lark this time around, but Not My Dog has re-united, and that should be good! Knave also returns to the festival after a 2 year absence, with two international bands, Alkaline Trio and Funeral for a Friend. Other acts I cannot wait to see, include Zebra and Giraffe, Desmond and the Tutu's, Gazelle, BLK JKS, Ashtray Electric, Stepdog, Mr. Cat and the Jackal, Wrestlerish, Bittereinder and Juggernaut. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Two of our friends, Wihann and Steve both had their birthdays on the 11th, so they decided to go camping at Ganzekraal, just up the West Coast from Melkbosstrand, even before you get to Yzerfontein. Anel and myself arrived there just after seven Friday evening, started unpacking, pitching the tent, and so forth, while enjoying something refreshing. (Read : Castle and Hunters). Friday night was a great night, with friends, hubbly castle and brandy. We had a really good time. We even had another unexpected guest, by the name of Felix! We know him well, but don't see him often.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>The next morning, we were all up not to late, dressed and showered by around 10 am. Most of the people went to the rocks on the far end (for those of you who do not know, Ganzekraal is a camping site right next to the ocean) to go "fishing". I did not join them, but from what I heard, they caught </div><div><br />
</div><div><ul><li>a lot of seaweed</li>
<li>a black thing thats sucks with teeth (Mr.Oka's description of it)</li>
<li>one or two very, very small fish</li>
<li>a good tan/sunburn</li>
</ul><div>Meanwhile, Anel and I went down to another part of the "beach" (no sand, just stones and rocks), and picked up shells, and just watched the ocean. One part to remember - after I showered, I did not put on shoes. Most people that know me, will know that I do not really walk barefoot, or with sandals.</div></div><div><br />
</div><div>After the beach/fishing session, Mr.Oka went to dive (with his wet-suit) , and managed to catch .... nothing. During the afternoon, a game of cricket came to live, with some poor shots, worse bowling, and even worse catches (must admit, Wihann made one brilliant catch. One bounce, one hand rule applied).</div><div><br />
</div><div>Once again, those of you that know me, know that I normally dont a) start a fire, and b) do the braai work. Well, Saturday afternoon I was hungry enough to do both! Oh, and all this time, Felix was still sleeping. We actually did not see him again the whole of the weekend. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The rest of the day consisted of good company, good music, Castle and Hunters Dry. Late evening, my feet started getting a bit sore, because of the sun (as the dont see a lot of sun often). </div><div><br />
</div><div>Sunday morning.........</div><div>My feet were pink, raw and in terrible pain! I immediately packed up, and went home. It is now Tuesday afternoon, went to the doctor this morning, because the pain was just TO much. I can only go back to work on Friday. Me feet are swelled, and even have infection in them, from the sun.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Still, I whould like to thank my great girlfriend Anel, the birthday boys Wihann and Steve, and the rest of the cast (Salome, Mr.Oka aka Agno aka Arno, Sam, Hendre, Devan, Anre and Nadia, and the rest of the cast, for a great weekend! It was needed!) . Oh, and special guest star : Felix.</div><div><br />
</div><div>No Animals were harmed during the weekend, as the Gorilla stayed at home</div><div><br />
</div><div>I was in Matric in 1999, and if I just followed the advice of Baz Luhrmann, you whould not have been reading this blog just now....</div><div><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I have decided to add a new feature to my blog - Music video of the week. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">For this week, I have chosen the video "Kom nou saam" by Obsessie met Als. I have been a fan of this band for a couple of years now, and have always enjoyed their live shows. The band is based in Cape Town, and their genre is Rock 'n Roll. Band members are Pierre van der Naam, Evan Scheepers and Heinrich Volschenk. Al their years of hard work have paid off, with this brilliant music video! Well done guys!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<br />
Lets start with the biggest moment of 2010 - the FIFA World Cup. The very 1st time it was held on the African continent, and it was AWESOME. For me, from the opening, to the closing ceremony, it all was brilliant! One moment I will never forget, was the Vuvuzela minute, on the Wednesday before the WC, where everyone blew a vuvuzela or honked their car horn! It was truly amazing to see the unity in the country in that one moment. The atmosphere on the opening day was electrifying! The whole country was behind Bafana Bafana. Same at our last game. I am very proud of the dispplay the boys put one! I managed to go to one game, England vs Algeria at the Cape Town Stadium. The game was a bit disappointing, a 0-0 draw, but the experience was worth it! From the train trip to Cape Town, lots and lots of beer at the Fan Fest, the Fan Walk to the game. Just to see the stadium, was worth it anyway! Magnificent! The let down, was the beer available at the stadium. Budweiser. They say its beer, but tastes like very weak local beer, mixed with piss. Bleh. And at R30 for 473ml, not again. If I can help it, that is. On the train trip home, we got onto the wrong train. Fun! At least we got home by the end of the night (morning, actually). The rest of the WC I watched the games at the Bellville Velodrome Fan Park, and the Fifa Fanfest in Cape Town, or at home. Good entertainment at the fan park/fest. Here is a few pics of that great time of festival and parties!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other sporting highlights for me was Stormers reaching the Super 14 final, WP reaching the Currie Cup final, and actaully a bit dissapointed the the performance of the Springboks this year....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When we look at music, for me, 30 seconds to Mars, live in Cape Town, was my favourite moment! They are truly amazing live! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ramfest IV was even more amazing, like always. If you want to go to an awesome music weekend, do RAMfest!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I am starting a new blog, where I will post whatever I want to talk about - read it, agree with it, disagree with it, its up to you. Feedback is more than welcome, negative or positive.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>My first post will be to review 2010, according to me. Lets start with movies. Movies of 2010, that stood out for me, in no particular order, are</div><div><ol><li>The Book of Eli</li>
<li>Shutter Island</li>
<li>Iron man 2</li>
<li>Robin Hood</li>
<li>The A-Team</li>
<li>The Last Airbender</li>
<li>Inception</li>
<li>Salt</li>
<li>Step-up 3D</li>
<li>Resident Evil - Afterlife</li>
<li>Life as we know it</li>
<li>RED</li>
<li>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1</li>
<li>Spud</li>
</ol><div>Those are the ones I saw, and stood out for me. My top 3, however, are :</div></div><div><br />
</div><div>3rd place goes to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part 1. My favourite Harry Potter movie so far. The main cast is more grown up and believable, the movie has a darker feel to it, and is action packed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBairbTe-458Yi3QxX3099YblDmUDKlG8zYixjX09qfg64XXvbIEYJ794YgYojzeGsNDlomz8oxHXbnBP3XPGs53zMA9a8LPCfKzxjObeG4EvPPOcEQpKBWKVgYWPeRcaAb4ipXhA1YES/s1600/Harry+Potter+picture%255B5%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBairbTe-458Yi3QxX3099YblDmUDKlG8zYixjX09qfg64XXvbIEYJ794YgYojzeGsNDlomz8oxHXbnBP3XPGs53zMA9a8LPCfKzxjObeG4EvPPOcEQpKBWKVgYWPeRcaAb4ipXhA1YES/s320/Harry+Potter+picture%255B5%255D.jpg" width="219" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div>Here is a link to the trailer :</div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EC2tmFVNNE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EC2tmFVNNE</a></div><div><br />
</div><div>2nd place goes toe Spud. The book was awesome, and the movie even more so. Not 100% accurate to the book, but very much enjoyable, funny, and just a nice feel good movie. Gecko is by far my favourite character in the movie! </div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9bASnnmVY_ZeBxHCHj8-qKafLp9KHlB4uG5jEJsM3CFrOgT3cwnlVm6aBcs2_Yv3VSyy0kwjnbA5YZa-dW7MjOEj6tQfQrGuW__m_TQ5FrzFboKJMufAKUMvMSuWWklXGtQsZ7iAIvZu/s1600/spud-poster.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9bASnnmVY_ZeBxHCHj8-qKafLp9KHlB4uG5jEJsM3CFrOgT3cwnlVm6aBcs2_Yv3VSyy0kwjnbA5YZa-dW7MjOEj6tQfQrGuW__m_TQ5FrzFboKJMufAKUMvMSuWWklXGtQsZ7iAIvZu/s320/spud-poster.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Trailer link : <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig7mJTfWuTY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig7mJTfWuTY</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And 1st place goes to Inception. One of the cleverest movies I have ever seen. More than that I cannot say - just go and watch it! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ApsJk84JE9OZJcYCtbH2HTGqt5460Xs17KMzy15fqIyBSGmsiOE0RYfjqF-j6S0tCHAZ0kscoMC7nruTQtbLUs4VsKn9ZZouEZSZyZaRCwYpVvd6hSDJjk6aNMotYvHYdvKFohoKJU2c/s1600/Extra-Inception-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ApsJk84JE9OZJcYCtbH2HTGqt5460Xs17KMzy15fqIyBSGmsiOE0RYfjqF-j6S0tCHAZ0kscoMC7nruTQtbLUs4VsKn9ZZouEZSZyZaRCwYpVvd6hSDJjk6aNMotYvHYdvKFohoKJU2c/s320/Extra-Inception-002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
