Its been a long productive week with up’s and down’s, and when Friday night rolls along it a time honoured tradition to head out and enjoy the night.
Knowing Jozi about as well as I know Russian poetry (i.e. not at all), I decided to do the only logical thing last night: head down my road and see where I end up. I live in Oaklands, so I headed down Glenhove into Athol…into Johannesburg…into Pretoria… (By the way, that’s all one road. For some reason the roads have multiple personalities around here and every couple hundred metres change their name.)
Eventually I saw the happy neon lights of something that was alive. Parked my car and headed into a club called “Stones”.
Now I know no one there. Fact. But, I got chatting with a couple girls that all ended up being students studying varying things from business to medical stuff. An interesting chat, but even good company does not save a bad venue.
Eventually it came out that even these girls did not want to be in this dive of a bar. If the locals don’t even want to be there, that says a lot… Anyway, it was a good evening all in all.
I’m about to head to a day-time event and meet some more people! Organized by the ‘iluvsa’ guys its an event celebrating the pure awesomeness of Jozi and I think its gonna be a bash. Its in Morningside along Rivonia Road, tickets are R120 at the door! Come join us, if you’re here…else, keep an eye open for future events.
Anyway, life keeps rolling…but I think I can add ‘Stones’ to my ‘Where Not To Go’ list.
