\nStorm van Rensburg and Jay Pather – the second<\/i> most famous gay couple in South Africa<\/small><\/p>\n
So, having a fantastic time in Durban. We had an amazing dinner with Jay Pather (choreographer), Storm van Rensburg (curator, KZNSA), and a Bollywood star on Saturday night at Cafe 1999 – where we all got a little wasted, told jokes, and blew smoke up each others bums… It’s nice to hang with the talented peops.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, we swam in the ocean about 3 times, had oysters, then a braai. Man, I should help my ex-students set up their shows more often…. Colleen is cracking the whip today, so I’m just doing some personal online admin as quickly as possible before helping her further with her installation – the software is all done and working with the hardware and micro-controller, and it’s set to be a fanfab show! The exhibit is eerily beautiful and evocative, and the interactive stuff is walking the fine line between a sensed reaction without being so playful that it takes away from the seriousness of the piece.<\/p>\n
If in Durbs, you MUST come to the opening tomorrow!<\/p>\n
Oh, and one more thing. Apparently, my blog is worth $30,485.16<\/a> – I’ll take it if anybody is buying, too… Thanks to crooks and liars <\/a> for the link!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Storm van Rensburg and Jay Pather – the second most famous gay couple in South Africa So, having a fantastic time in Durban.
