In the spirit of 'ideas worth spreading', the tagline of the world famous TED talks, TEDx is a local, self-organised event to bring people together to share a TED-like experience. And this weekend, TEDxCapeTown will be taking place for the first time, a one day inspirational event themed 'Be water my friend'!
And in the spirit of water and flow, what would a day of inspirational talks be without music!
I am thrilled to know that the organisers of TEDxCapeTown have chosen two local Cape Town bands to entertain the crowds with their fluid creations in between the multitude of presentations.
First up is an aptly aligned band, Hot Water, who are in fact so popular tomorrow that they are playing not one, not two, but three gigs in one day! And all on opposite ends of the peninsula. Starting in Ratanga tomorrow morning for the TEDx event, they are then off to sow some excitement seeds at a mid year gig entitled Sowing the Seeds, six months ahead of Rocking the Daisies, getting all daisy goers in the mood on the other side of the peninsula in Scarborough! Hot Water will then make their way back to town for a gig with Jack Mantis band on Saturday night!
Also playing at TEDxCapeTown are The Bone Collectors, a band with possibly the tallest musician I have ever had the pleasure of having a fully upright conversation with! I have not much to say of the music as I missed their set at Synergy, so I look forward to seeing them live soon!
Oh, and I can't wait for the talks too - I'm curious to see the insights, info and inspiration that will be packaged and presented with love...
And in the spirit of ideas worth sharing, I leave you with this simple message - showing how the impact and power of words (and a little bit of inspiration and love) can make a profound difference...
Rock on music (and ideas) worth spreading,
x
