Rocky Horror Show at The Fugard

Met Tariq and Iris for brunch then decided to head to the Table Mountain tram for a quick ride up as the table cloth phenomenon was in full force. Basically that means a cloud is blowing over the mountain and it appears as though there is a table cloth on the top. In this case the cloud blows over and form a cloud fall which dissipates quickly. It's a fantastic effect and we wanted to see what it was like on top. Ambereen had purchased a season pass last winter and forgot her pass while I didn't have my passport number so I was unable to purchase said pass. She negotiated a ticket for the trip after a 15 minute wait and I just bought a ticket as I could save the receipt and go back later in the week to buy the season pass as well. We got right on the tram and it was packed. What is it with these asian tourists who have their camera / phone / ipad up and taking pictures THE ENTIRE TIME? I mean, put the damn thing down and actually enjoy a few minutes of the experience for crying out loud...

Anyway, the cloud cover up top was intense - like a very thick fog - and it was blowing hard. It was also a lot cooler as we were suddenly 1800 meters above sea level. We didn't stay long as we scored cheap tickets to the Rocky Horror Show at The Fugard Theater thanks to Iris. It's an intimate theater and we had good seats. There was a great crown and although we got there a mere 15 minutes before curtain call we made it. The show was fabulous - much better than I had expected. Phenomenal cast, great costumes and the house band was tight. Frankenfurter was a riot. What a treat. The audience got into the show as much as they could but there are so many catch phrases, etc. that you have to be a student to catch them all.

Got home early to get some shut eye as I had a kitesurfing lesson scheduled in the am and I wanted to be sharp so goodnight.
