CityLove Photography: Let's Interpret Durban with the help of The La Els

Have you ever been to a coffee roasting/barista training/free wi-fi-ing/awesome place before ? Nope...didnt think so. I arrived at Colombo Coffee for The 1st Annual Interpret Durban Event. I was greeted oh so warmly by my favourite professional waiter Juddy-poo (you may call him Judd) who owns Corner Cafe ,our very own 2Slice who also does something at Corner Cafe and 031-Guide to Happiness was MC for the night. He was full of awesomeness (but he'll say I overrate him). Anyway,so Rich Powell who heads up Street Scene Tours organised this whole event to raise money for an u11 soccer team from Kwa-Mashu. (We're giving back people...we're giving back). So this is what went down...we had the T.Shirt design competition where anyone could submit an entry for a shirt...OBVIOUSLY it all had to based around Durban. (Come now people..its called Interpret DURBAN)... and then the judges decided and BOOM..there was a winner. (Im sorry...I have to get straight to the point...time is money). There was also some Sneaker Comp with a couple of durban designers taking a very plain jane sneaker (no offence to the Jane's out there) and pimping them up like LANK KIF...the whole point of that was that we then auctioned off the sneakers to the crowd..which is where the big money would come in for our mini Bafana Bafana's. Let me just be straight with you...we had some people dropping BIG cash... I'm talking R7000 for a pair of sneakers. Juddy and 2Slice tried to outbid each other until some other big shot came and threw his money around like no-ones business which then took The Corner crew straight out the game. Sorry Juddy. All in all, a ton of cash was raised for the Soccer Team...and thats what it was all about. You might sit back and think 'wow...what a content feeling' but OH HO NO.... we had tricks...TRICKS up our darn awesome sleeve. one of Durbans hottest bands (pretty much my favourites right now) decided to do a little secret first gig. Which band..which band? Ummm... only The La Els ! Now people...let me just set you straight here...its not pronounced The el-ayyy Els... please.... be clever..just say it how you read it ok. Anyway so I took a couple pics here and there of the evening and of The La Els during soundcheck and then when they hit the stage.

I just want you all to know that when i write up blog posts..I write them and thats it...BAM..they get posted...I just dont have time to check spelling and stuff. So please...just deal with it ok.

Keep Checking the Corner Cafe blog to hear the full low down from 2Slice or Dark Knight on the evening. (and also to see some of my pics) whaaa hooo. I might just take this time to say that Judd loves me so very much (apparently more than 2Slice) that Im now their in-house photographer person. Which means I will probably be doing a lot of 'Judd-shoots'.

Enjoy the pics people.
Spread that CityLove.
