46664

So I saw a kickass concert this weekend in Josie. It was a 10 hr affair that had the Goo Goo Dools, Peter Gabriel, Ludacris, Angelique Kidjo, about 20 different SA artists/groups and a fantabulous wrap-up by Annie Lennox. It was the 46664 concert which, in case you didn't know, was Nelson Mandela's prison number. It is now the tagline for his World AIDS Day concert series. http://46664joburg.co.za

I didn't know that either until I was actually at the concert. Now I have the T-shirt. And you can get one too at: http://46664.com/index.php

You won't see me shill for stuff very often but the causes don't get much better than this one.

I've only been to one better concert in my life and that was the 9/11 concert in DC.

Fun! I had no idea that was his prison number, but a what a fantastic reappropriation of it.

Hey - I see your sister is just about due. Any news?
