The view of camps Bay from Ignites balcony. Very nice!

This par-tay was quite late notice, and I would have told you all about this party had I known earlier if I would be there. But I was taking a stroll through the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town on Sunday when Charlie V alerted me to the fact that Roger Goode and Goldfish would be playing at Ignite in Camps Bay. He told me that things were going to get kicked off at about 6pm, and immediately I was game.

On arrival, it was only me and Charlie V and we were not expecting much except to just chill out. But things quickly changed when JJ and Chris said they would pull through. While waiting for them, we bumped into two of the promotion girls we met at the FNB Whisky Live Festival. Suddenly they were introducing us to their friends, and friends of friends, and then we met up with other people we knew and the night spiralled.

From arriving lonely, we were suddenly having a good time with an entire crowd. Ignite finds itself attracting people who are very easy on the eye. The whole night was filled with jaws dropping, eyes wide open and a general vibe of “I think I might be playing out of my league” But because we are excessive, we find the extra gear we keep for emergencies like this, and we can play in any league. And besides, I learned something a while back, and that is, even if a girl is a 9 or a 10, talk to her like she is a 4. That way you come across as ICE cool. To the person I learned that from, you know who you are! It’s such a classic.

You see, when girls are hot, and you act uninterested, even though you yourself are not a 10, they wonder what it is that makes you so cool that you don’t care about them. Intrigued, they want to know more about you. They start nagging you the whole evening “So what is it that you do?”

“I’m a man of mystery pumpkin tits, now please move along” You say with confidence.

This drives them crazy and by the end of the night they are begging you for your number and your ID number and all sorts of stuff. If you want to play it ultra cool, you leave as they are grabbing onto your ankles, begging you to stay. This let’s the other people in the club know that you are so powerful, that you can leave the hottest girl in the club behind, without so much as a care in the world. That’s when you win. Because come back next week and you will have everyone all over you.

Anyway, Roger Goode was there and he is too cool. Really friendly, always keen for photos and he plays some sick beats. Roger Good lives the dream. He basically parties for a living which is what we all want! I mean…I want it. You want it!

To show the scope of talent, let me show you a quick photo of the company that surrounded us. I’m still SEMI speechless and I find it HARD to type.

“I never even knew that league existed” Sean quipped later, holding back his tears

From what Goldfish told us, they will be playing at Ignite every Sunday now! I’m not sure for how long but they are sick, and you have to see them live.

Goldfish

So that’s it. Ignite in Camps Bay. Ignite in Camps Bay. Ignite in Camps Bay. Sorry, I’m writing this in a tin room, and it’s echoing. The outside deck are is quite large, and is great for chilling out on, when the weather is warm, which is all the time. It’s Cape Town. There are two bars inside, and space to dance and the people are beautiful! YES!

Sundays see Goldfish playing which is SICK! You better be there. I know you want to.
