The beauty about VIP/Media Parties coinciding with your birthday is that you get to knock two birds with one stone. The Patron "Day of the Dead" party called for fancy dress but like I've mentioned before Cape Town isn't really the type to "dress up" at the risk of looking like an idiot. On the other hand I don't mind so much.



While the masses descended on Vaudeville to celebrate the Mexican Cirque De Los Muertos, those who were already inside were enjoying the free Patron. Soon after the doors closed and a condensed version of Vaudevilles fantastic show took place. Host Paul Snodrass (who shares my birthday) gave away free gift-bags of Patron (thank you for mine) and the winners of the best-dressed couple got a prize to jet off to some fantastic destination I can't remember.
