Effervescent In Pink

Cast of Characters #3 - The Hipsters, the Fine Arts Club, and the Jollers

It was only a matter of time before we stumbled upon the hipsters and artistes of Durban.

Two weeks ago, the ExPat Crew visited the oldest coffee roastery in Glenwood (the Main St/Commercial Drive of Durban) to check out a night market. It was quite the scene. While there, Eugene started chatting up staffers Mitch and Dale. Cool kids impressed with our Vancouver street cred.

They invited us out to a zombie(!) party out in Stamford Hill the following night. Where I ran into my neighbour and her deliciously artsy friends.

Together with his girlfriend, Mitch and Erin are the hub of the cool kids.

Sophie - neighbour and all-around retro sweetheart - with wicked photographer boyfriend Xavier.

Adorable Jess, Soph's best friend and singing partner.

And this weekend, Eug, Christoph and I joined co-workers/fellow Thrillers Liz and Julie down the south coast, drank our faces off for a princely sum of $22(!!!!), convinced everyone to risk it with a late-night trek to the beach, and slept in a teepee. Awesome times, guys - thanks for the invite!

Julie and Liz, development planners after Troy's heart (aka no nonsense bitches out for a good time at all costs)
Clown Gavin and SGF Andreas


As the locals say, Make the Circle Bigger!!
