Acting like a Cape Townian in Joburg / 5FM’ing / Carte Blanche / Travelling without money

I’ve been in Joburg since Saturdays and haven’t made too much of a noise about it. I’ve mainly been hanging out (chilling out) with my friend Jess at her parent’s AMAZING house in Wendywood (seriously, it’s ridiculous…her mom should have her own interior design show on Vuzu or something!) and doing a bit of catch up on emails and stuff.

Apart from that, Telana and I went to the ‘5 seconds to party’ party at the Carlton Roller Rink. You’d think that roller skating was would be easier than roller blading but you’d be wrong! Me and some 5fm jocks were not so comfortable on the rink…LOL

Was great to finally meet Claire from 5fm after many emails and phone calls – thanks for hooking me up with the tickets.

Then this morning we had a big meeting with Joy, a producer for Carte Blanche. Remember I wrote about my friend Lisa putting me in touch with her but saying I could only contact her after the 8th? [read post here] Well good thing I was in Joburg cos I got to meet her in person. The 3 of us (Joy, Telana & I) had delicious coffee at the Design Centre (I think it’s called) and talked about our stories.

It may be a little while before I am on Carte Blanche so don’t get too excited. Joy thinks (and I have to agree with her) that it is a little too early in my adventure for Carte Blance. However, here comes the great news, she loves Telana’s onematchstick project and is going to pitch it next year…HOW AWESOME is that? YAY!!!!! You see, more proof that if you are friends with me…good things happen!

Now, Jess and I are planning the latest no money mission - driving from Joburg to Cape Town without money. I spoke to the programme manager of 5FM, Vukile, and I hope to have 5FM to regular check ins with us so we can update you guys on our journey – more on this to follow…

Oh shit, in case you were wondering how I even got to Joburg without using money, watch this video:
