Want to flip the AVERAGE BIRTHDAY PARTY concept on its head?
- Put your guests on anti-gravity machines!
- Into flotation tanks
- Offer brainwave monitors to track the movement of their thought impulses (wow!)
- Have full run of one of the city’s finest & most luxurious spa’s for the evening with gentle attentive staff attending to every whim
- Invite gorgeous and interesting friends keen to laugh, play and connect
- Have a great big playroom with films to delight & inspire
- Provide a bounty of therapists doing various forms of stress release – from cranio-sacral alignments for the alpha-stressor types (ahem!) to the melting bliss of Hawaiian kahuna massage.
- Let them explore role-playing games governed by mindcontrol alone.. wild %-)
- Lay on delectable dark rich sinful chocolate cake, ridiculously yummy cheesecake topped with fresh plump strawberries & all manner of delicia to balance the force of overwhelming healthiness & wellbeing.
RESULT: Get everlasting love and thanks from friends who will NEVER forget your party!
THIS is how I spent last night, under a full moon, enjoying the generosity, grace & GENIUS of my dear friend Justin Friedman.
Unbelievable! We all floated out into the warm starry night glowing with radiant smiles. I am a renewed being after his legendary birthday party. Words cannot express my gratitude J :’-) Happy Birthday my friend. Hope you and Skyler have a safe & brilliant time back in the States & much fun at the Bioneers conference..will be tracking it ;-)
PS. Thank you so much to the lovely Ian MacFarlane for your incredible space. If you haven’t been lucky or sensible enough to get to the MediSpa at the Mount Nelson Hotel>> Book it NOW if you happen to be in, or coming to Cape Town.. (Their site gives no indication of the luxury & beauty of the spa, just trust me). It is also filled with so many toys that make a little geek heart thump in pleasure.. its a high tech heaven veiled in a soothing & stylish GUI. Kinda like a Mac (which I am becoming increasingly partial to the idea of owning after the recent techtrauma)
mmm..Spa 2.0








Great film for you playroom would be “Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring”
Beautiful Korean masterpiece with English Subtitiles. Hope we make your guestlist ;)

The astonishing tool that borderless netizens freely (and I do mean in the enlightened opensource way) use to discover and grow their own genius ..and bank accounts.
Genius begets genius.
Thank heavens for Wordpress.
That special breed of genius I hunt isn't defined by a Stanford-Binet number; rather by a visionary capacity, good taste in problems, the ability to forge unusual creative connections, the brave foolishness to fail gloriously and generosity of spirit to build something beyond personal gain.
Unearthing the pioneers too prescient for their time, quirky Amelie.types who find magic in the mundane, the people who give a damn. Those who approach the world with bright minds, big hearts & clean hands. ..then what? Find out here
