KAKTUS OPPI VLAKTES @ KKNK 2005
If you’re in the Klein Karoo on the 2 April make sure not to miss these great artists at the Oppikoppi Kaktus Oppi Vlaktes… Fokofpolisiekar, Freshly Ground, Jan Blohm, Kallitz, Karen Zoid, Karma, Klopjag, Prime Circle, Springbok Nude Girls, Tal Bachman (Canada), Watershe…d and MCs Twakkie and Corne from The Most Amazing Show In its ten year history Kaktus Oppi Vlaktes has played host to a huge variety of South African icons. Names such as Koos Kombuis, Valiant Swart, Johnny Clegg, Miriam Makeba, Jack Hammer, Johannes Kerkorrel and Anton Goosen and many many others have ensured that this one day open air music celebration has firmly established itself as note only one of the biggest events of this nature in the Western Cape, but also a great one-stop-top-up event to get a great selection of currently relevant acts. The 2005 edition of the event is no different with the combined team of OppiKoppi productions and the KKNK pulling out all the stops to improve on the huge success of the first co-operative effort of 2004. Not only has an absolutely killer line-up been confirmed for the show, but logistical aspects such as additional toilets, easier catering arrangements and gate flow has all been looked at to make the day as smooth and enjoyable as possible. 2 April Oudtshoorn Sports Ground 16:00. R80-00 at Computicket and at the gate on the day of the show. If you have a student card a ticket would only cost you R65-00....

ONE night MEAT Stand in SELBY
So has anyone heard of the trend overseas where shops are opened for a night or a weekend or one week only and then silently and slickly dissapear??? Its a worldwide phenomenon known as POP UP RETAIL – kinda like a chic mysterious fleamarket. Except that if you miss it you may never catch it again. Well we are VERY pleased to announce that some trendy young Jo…burgers have their eye on worldwide trends and have set up a POP UP ART GALLERY – it’s happening this week in the new hip Urban regeneration suburb SELBY (always head for the TopStar drive in its not far) on Friday night (the 1st April) so make sure to BE THERE. If you’re an artist and you’d like the chance to flog your stuff – it’s too late for this shindig – but you can always try your luck – number below. Here’s the 411: A group of people from the Ad industry decided to put together a non–profit nomadic exhibition for any artists out there that would like to put their work on display. This time round the theme is MEAT – it’s a ONE NIGHT AFFAIR and it’t taking place this Friday night. The way it works is that you join the email list – then you get sent an email that tells you about the next Exhibitions theme and entry requirements – you then get creative and do it. They (the innovative Ad peeps) then curate the work that is sent in and decide who makes it in… The one night stand nomadic event then takes place – with usually about 300 – 400 people attending – completely wack off the wall DJs setting the tone and a well-stocked bar – you can also buy any of the Art on display (thats not sold already!) You shake your touche till the early hours and go home inspired to send something in next time. By the way there is no COUVERT CHARGE. Its Free. What we at REPRESENT love about these doo’s are the fact that they are using new, sometimes undiscovered non-gallery spaces that turn the whole concept of ‘Art Gallery’ on its head and translate into an Urban experience… By the way – its too late for many of us non-artists to get it together – but there’s a t-shirt exhibition in two months time so get going and design… Call Jonathan on 083.628.5159 or MEAT It’s a little hard to read the flyer so here goes: MEAT Friday 1st April 18h30 38 Roger st Cnr Webber st SELBY No Couvert Charge Directions: Take M1 South Keep left...

How does stuff work?
Willis sends us to the answer: Ever wanted to impress your pals by explaining the inner workings of a hybrid engine? Wondered how a cellphone works, but too embarrassed to ask? Curious to know what black holes are and how they work? Boning up to impress Fiona on the weak “The Weakest Link” quiz show? Want to shut your irritating know-it-all brother-in-law up by explaining th…e REAL reason for hangovers? Well look no further! How Stuff Works is a site that explains in simple terms how anything from an acoustic guitar to a zipper works. Learn that even though cigarettes contain 8-20mg of nicotine, that only 1mg is absorbed by your body when you smoke. Shudder at the fact that the legal muzzle velocity limit for paintball is 327km/hr. Drool over the possibilities that personal jetpacks, exoskeletons, flying cars and hoverboards will offer. And for those that have fallen out of love and want that no-longer-special person’s name removed from your right butt cheek, know that lasers offer a mostly painless solution....
