The Voice of Youth Launch At The Assembly

New youth culture magazine on the block, LIVE, is going to be mixing it up at The Assembly's SYNW (tonight) to celebrate the launch of their brand new mobile site. 

The boring, talky stuff is all going down in the early evening, so pull in at 21:00 for the regular See You Next Wednesday student night -- with a twist. LIVE Mag are bringing the swag.

• Street-style photo booth: strike a pose/pout with style and get featured in LIVE Mag Issue 4.
• SYNW-style snaps: if the roaming photographer digs your vaaaib, you could be featured in Issue 4’s fashion piece.
• Falko graffiti art: watch as the maestro of caricatures creates a new masterpiece before your blurry eyes. 
• Awewolves VJs: mesmerising VJ talents; aweh. 
• Street-culture inspiration: a skateboard art exhibition from Verb and KFD.

LIVE Mag is credible content created by the very audience who consume it. Think: music, fashion, celebrities, sports, culture -- seen from the angle of mainstream youth: school leavers, varsity students and young professionals. A collection of thoughts and opinions in one neat package.

So, See You Next Wednesday tonight?

Win An Evening Of Misbehavior

The last time I went to a Playboy Party at Trinity, I ended up waking up in a double bed with two girls inside a completely empty flat just off Long Street. I wish I was joking. So I quickly woke up my friend - who'd constructed a make-shift sleeping arrangement out of jackets and blow-up toys under a window sill - and made swift my walk/limp of shame. That should tell you a little bit about how good the Playboy Parties are.

So here's the deal, I have 2 x double sets of tickets to give away. The tickets will go to the person with the craziest party story. Just leave your name, preferred contact details and story in the comments section below. Don't hold anything back. Shoot!

Strike/Vandalism/Riot In Cape Town

BREAKING NEWS: this is happening right now (13:55, 16 August 2011) in Cape Town CBD. For more information check out CapeTimes or News24.

Obviously there's a big difference between setting a dustbin alight and burning down an entire building, but still - this is a great display of the power of social media. I'm willing to take a large bet that these strikers were at least partially inspired by the London Riots.
