Great 27 Dinner last night at the Wild Fig. Loads of interesting people interspersed with some cool talks, meaning we got home way too late for a school night.
Highlights included: Marlon Parker and “The King“; Stormhoek Big Love; Justin Hartman, both his Afrigator talk and some photo’s that I took and promised I wouldn’t blog about; Eran Eyal doing Springleap Pecha Kucha style and Catherine singing happy birthday to Bev.
Was good to see a strong Jo’burg contingent, both those who came to their senses, and those who have yet to.
Table conversations with @wendyrobb, @SamWilson1, @lukehardiman, @cluckhoff, @feistyfemale and @MorganBehr ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Highly recommended.
[UPDATE] In an effort to save time and the embarrassment of not remembering everybody from last night, I tried to create some rough categories around which I could write this post. My failure to mention everybody that I spoke to during the course of the evening has now been highlighted by the intelligent, immensely famous, and some might say, handsome Eric Edelstein. My humblest apologies. In a room of close on 100 people, Eric, resplendant in a stylish t-shirt, was kind enough to take out some time to speak with me. I will remember that night for as long as I live.

I’ll try harder next time so I get a mention!
Eric, humblest apologies. I have corrected the error.
ROTFL!! Corrected indeed …
Dang! I must make sure I chat to you next time Allan
Ha ha ha ha ha!
“intelligent, immensely famous, and some might say, handsome Eric Edelstein.” – are you sure you weren’t thinking of the other Eric Edelstein – the comedian on MTV?
the MTV Eric Edelstein is kinda intelligent (apparently), immensely famous (somewhat) and not that handsome (but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad).
HAHAHAHA! Lucky you put that update on before things got out of hand.
I have posted a video of the talk on From the Couch – Social Transformation
Ha! I made the first draft!
Great news. Springleap now has a picture gallery, so if you have a springleap tshirt, go upload it so the rest of the world can see it.
Here’s my fav pic so far:
