there IS life after show 'n tell


.... another matjies show 'n tell has come and gone and we are still basking in the afterglow of the weekend.THANK YOU! All the contributions this year were so great and we were bowled over by the amount of time and effort and love and magic each of you brought to show 'n tell. THANK YOU!

But the matjies magic doesn't have to end with the weekend. On Wednesday 28th October we will be having a post-matjies gathering at the Albert Hall to share photos, listen to Kristin's podcast of the event, swop stories, watch films clips and have a viewing of the Darjeeling Limited Photo Studio! Inge has agreed to put the images on disk and give them to any matjie who, in exchange, gives her a disk with photos from the weekend - that's the deal.

On the same night we will also be hosting a matjies auction to raise money for expenses like hiring sound equipment and paying the overworked bar staff overtime. More info on this to follow and if you have anything you would like to donate to the auction, please mail us. We will be auctioning everything from designer jewellery and clothes, to collector's items such as pages of Toast's lyrics still encrusted with sweat from his performance on the weekend.

The last order of business is that we have a few lost property items in our possession including:

1x small blue bra (who got naked and where are the photos, huh? huh?)
1x black raincoat (dave, the flasher perhaps.....)
kirsty/akimbo's garlands!
1 x standard issue, blue t-shirt
1x ladle and pot sans lid (arribiatta massive?)
1x michael van rooyen's medallion-laded jacket
1x book "by alexandra fuller called lets not go to the dogs tonight or something like that" (quote. unquote. found by greg nicolson)
1x silver necklace

If you picked up a pair of ray bans, they belong on Jess Harwood's lovely face and Julia Merrett lost a tiny deer/stag pendant (along with "most of my inhibitions"). Lastly, if anyone has James Siegel's stinky Merrels hand them over sealed in plastic at a designated location.

More later

Afterglow mos def.
Regarding the lost and found, I have my 'medallion-laded jacket'. Hmmmm, perhaps it was cloned. ???
