Besides the fact my eyelids are gelled together by excessive sleep deprivation and a little bit of a pounding head, I'm ok. And am actually choosing to amble through town towards the Highway Africa conference in order to a) wake the fuck up, and b) feel like a Joburg tourist and ooh and ah at the Settler-type buildings here.
I mean, it is a quaint little town, this Grahamstown.
The Rat was fun, and it was cool to catch up with Paris Man, super-charged botanist now, and studying his Master's here. He regaled me with stories involving goat dung collection - just one of the many things he has to do for his research.
Another day of intense journo-speak. Bring it on. These speakers are all of a high calibre, and I've met some interesting people in this far corner of the OosCape.

Ah Peas, the G-spot, gotta love it!!
I must admit I am looking forward to my long weekend in Gtown. I'm going down for the Captivate conference!
Should be fun, two years out, visit the rat, see how things are!! :)
Kab - I know, I'm growing quite fond of this little place. :) It's very quiet now though, there's even a sign I just passed on Somerset Street: "Bugger Off, we're closed for vac." Hmmm. :)
Boatraces - heard a lot about them, and enjoy! x
Nic - The G-Spot baby! Captivate sounds awesome, enjoy it - and the Rat seems the same as last year. Playing the same 90s music on a loop over and over again...magic. :)
you're still alive?... that makes one of us... I'm a little hung over.
Bete - shame doll, feeling a bit of Ghandi's slip slop in the old mouth eh? I feel your pain :(
Did someone say G-Spot?
Ches - I did! I did! ;)
