Now in its third year and well established as the most zany and fun kid in town, The Flamjangled Tea Party, rolled back into town with a clickity-clack. Set on the Contermanskloof Wine Farm, the Flamjangled Tea Party once more set the bench mark for uniqueness in this colourful weekend long party and artistic expression.
The psychedelic ‘Mad Hatters Tea Party’ theme encouraged people to parade around in outlandish costumes and the eclectic line-up and 3 dance floors ensured that people were dancing hard till the early hours of the morning. Our BOSsewa was parked close to the Market Stage where people could quench their thirst in the heat and lounge under the umbrellas to watch the performances and DJ sets.
Spirits were high and as always, Flamjangled lived up to high expectations, we were transported to a magical parallel universe for a weekend and we can’t wait to get back next year!
The BOS Animals have heard much about these wild and wonderful creatures called Humans. After a delightful tour of the Cape Southern Peninsula where they witnessed the many ritualistic human acts such as: ‘tanning’, ‘lunching out’ ‘gaping in awe’ and ‘waving frantically in their direction’ the BOS Animals have decided they wanted to be a bit more daring and observe Human Youth.
They had been informed that the best place to spot these more erratic version of the Human species is in the tundras of Stellenbosch University and UCT.
They began their safari adventure on Wednesday, hitting Stellenbosch University during the midday feeding hour. These youths (subcategory: students) expressed their surprise and and wonder at these foreign visitors with typical human delight responses such as ‘laughing’, ‘pointing’ and chasing after the vehicle. The BOS Animals ended the Wednesday leg of their safari by driving by the infamous Paul Roos Gymnasium where they were lucky enough to witness a stampede of ‘young boys’ (some even tried to attack the vehicle!)
The next day proved to be even more eventful. The BOS Animals took a safari through UCT. The students there proved to me more wild and excited to see the BOS Animals arrive onto their territory. After taking a short walking tour on the densely populated ‘Jammie Plaza’ Leopard made the catastrophic mistake of feeding the Humans. A frantic mob ensued with the students all trying to snatch BOS Ice Tea from the bewildered Animals!
“They just all looked so thirsty! How was I to know that students would absolutely love BOS Ice Tea?? It was as if they had never before tasted anything so good!” Leopard wailed afterwards.
All in all though the BOS Animals were thrilled with their BOS Safari Adventure and expressed a desire to check out the wildlife further inland, Gauteng perhaps…
