This is not a crystal: The Treachery of Images


THIS COULD BE YOU:



You should probably take this opportunity to purchase a t-shirt that will only go up in value, and will be considered antique within a few years time. Not only can it make you stinkin' rich one day, sipping on Cristal champagne for breakfast, but you will also be the owner of a priceless souvenir of this time.



Also, COMPETITION!!

A Bateleur Cargo Cults T-Shirt to whoever comes up with the snazziest translation of what the Wingdingian tribesman on the left is saying in this picture.


Competition rules:
- there's only one, and that's that your entry must be a post on your own Facebook wall, with an @Bateleur link. The Bateleur folk will see it and announce the winner at the launch on the 15th.

So the 15th, you ask? A launch? That's right, Bateleur is launching their Cargo Cults EP at Zula Bar on the 15th of June, and you should all be there to bless you ears and see these boys below IRL!
(THIS IS RIGHT NOW BY THE WAY, live from UCT Radio studios)

From the official press release:
"The EP will be released physically as 20 Limited Edition artist series wooden discs  featuring local talent Stuart Ziegler, Bison, Givan Lotz, Sebastian Borckenhagen and Dale Lawrence, all of whom were given full creative reign on the respective designs, alongside 30 smaller wooden discs engraved with Bateleur’s own crystal insignia. Both physical releases have the music preloaded on a USB drive found inside the actual discs.
The artist series LPs will be sold through an online auction on the band’s website (launching soon) which will run from June 15th to July 6th, with the smaller discs also available online and sold at live shows.
The EP will also be available for FREE digital download via the band’s Facebook page and website from June 15th."

  1. Frozen decorations for your event

    Whether you’re throwing a big fancy wedding or a no-holds-barred frat party, you will need an ice sculpture. These classy, yet fun and whimsical sculptures range from cupids and hearts to sports teams and ice luges. Luges are a fun way to cool down your shot or drink immediately without having to shake it with ice or stick it in the fridge. ice sculptures can be made for any occasion, with any shape. Naturally, you’ll need to take care of your sculpture and keep it in a cool place until it’s time to display it.

    Then, of course, it’s important to have a sanitary and out-of-the-way place for the sculpture to melt. It’s going to melt unless you keep it in the freezer, and it’s unlikely that’s where you want your guests to have the party. Ice sculptures are a really fun way to add a touch of class and a cool centerpiece for your guests to enjoy. Ice luges are another fun way to cool your drinks, and you can either let the beverage flow into a glass or drink straight from the luge.

    Whether you choose a sculpture or an ice luge really depends on the kind of party you want to have. Ice sculptures are almost a staple item for weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversary parties, and other special events. They add an extra bit of class and elegance to an already beautiful party, and are a great centerpiece and point of interest. Some sculptors will even make ice punch bowls to keep drinks cool, or large hollow ice cubes that can hold shots, drinks, or even snacks like ice cream, cold desserts, and cold hors d’oeuvres.

    Whatever you choose for your wedding, party, or other special event, it’s important to keep it tasteful and in keeping with your personal style and with the theme of the party itself. If you let someone else order your sculpture for you, be sure they have your tastes in mind and have good taste themselves. Many times, a party planner and the guest of honor are not on the same page, so be sure you’re getting what you want.
