Cape Town pissup!

Country forums / Africa / South Africa

Since I'll be on the road soon, I better get this thread going...

October 1st, somewhere on Long Street. Who can come (besides tc_sebba), and where shall we go? :-)

Last time I discussed the pissup with seb, we thought Khaya-Nyama would be a good place to have dinner...

1

I'm in! my very first ever TT pissup - woohoo!

Looks like a nice place - lots of interesting food for visitors - and there's even a veg platter on the menu for us herbivores!

2

woohoo!

3

herbivores... lol I'll go for the warthog!

yeah, I was also thinkg about the warthog grin

It's actually cool that they provide vegetarian options. Hopefully the vegetarians don't get too grossed out by everyone else feasting on ribs and steaks hehe...

Though this place is not set in stone (or is it?) - if there are other suggestions on Long Street (or walking distance from Long Street), at least the prince and I are open to them :-)

As for time... not sure. What would work best for everyone? 19:00?

warthog - ugh! No I dont care what anyone else eats - not squeamish about that with a carnivorous husband. As long as I dont have to touch it, each to their own! (anyway I'm sure the warthog had a HAPPY life ;))

7 is fine with me, will check and see if Mr.b is coming too.

6

caroline, I hope you and mr.b. will be up for your 2nd TT piss up in December ?

----------------------------
Drink Windhoek not Castle

7

oh yes martraveller - what date??

8

This again. I'll be on the road again and won't be able to follow all of this. Who's coming? :)

And what's the best way to do this? Meet where and when? Reservations necessary? etc.

9

I'm in Pretoria until Sept 30th, so I hope I can get myself the energy to go out cause I'd love to meet some TT-ers.

I'd say meet at the restaurant and yes on the reservations.

10

I hope you can come!

I'll have to see if Seb can help with arranging things. I'm not sure how much Internet access I'll have after the 14th (but I'll try!)...

11

PoP. I can help arranging things - I am in CT after all so it makes sense. Lets do a list here in case you havn't spoken to Seb already -

So far its:
Pop
Seb
Rian
Me.

Anyone else? Also let me know if you're bringing anyone else along. I can make a provisional booking (end of week maybe?), but Monday is not a busy night I wouldnt have thought.

12

Caroline - that would be great if you could help out! (And be sure to add PrinceOfPenguins to the list hehe)

13

I am back in Pta. Spend some days in Gabs, Bots, and quadbiking somewhere north of Brits.

Rian - are you already in Pta?
Caroline - Pop didn't speak to me so far ;-)
