S.A TRIVIA QUESTION
When was Cape Town’s Baxter Theatre opened for the very first time?
A - 1 August 1977 B – 1 August 2000 C – 1 August 2009
Answer: A - 1 August 1977
Here’s some info:
The Baxter Theatre Centre, designed by Jack Barnett, opened on 1 August 1977. It came into being as the result of a bequest from the late Dr W. Duncan Baxter who, in his will, bequeathed an amount of money to the University of Cape Town for the purpose of establishing a theatre which would, in the words of Dr Baxter, "develop and cultivate the arts in Cape Town and the adjacent districts".
DID YOU KNOW
The first history book, the Great Universal History, was published by Rashid-Eddin of Persia in 1311. Also did you know the Statue of Liberty is the largest hammered copper statue in the world.
TIP OF THE DAY
10 Cool Things to do This Weekend
The weekend has arrived again, but do you want it to be the same as every weekend? Here are 10 things to do this weekend that you probably wouldn’t normally do. Pick just one thing off the list and add something different to your weekend.
1. Visit a Planetarium
Why not go to your local planetarium this weekend? As well as getting the best view of the night sky that you can see from earth (unless you live in the Arctic maybe), Planetaria often have specialised shows on the weekends.
2. Take a Barista Coffee Course
Are you sick of making bad coffee? If so, why not see if you can find a good barista course this weekend and learn how to make coffee like a pro?

3. Take a Defensive Driving Course
If you haven’t already done a Defensive Driving Course, now is as good a time as any to do it. You learn evasive techniques, safety tips, and get to race around obstacle courses. Not only do you have fun, but you learn to keep yourself safe on the road.
4. Test Drive your Dream car
Most of us have a dream car (mine is a Bentley) - why not call your local dealer and organise a test drive? If it is particularly expensive you may have to do a bit of faking on the telephone so you sound like you can afford one. What could be nicer than driving your favourite car through the city.

5. Visit a Day Spa
Men and women alike need to take care of their skin and bodies, so why not find a nice treatment at a day spa? At the least you can get a massage with aromatherapy. What better way is there to relax after a long week at work?
6. Go to the Theatre or Opera
I wonder how many readers have been to the Opera or the Theatre? Probably the majority haven’t. If you pick well, the opera can be very interesting - it is not like the old days where fat ladies prance around in old fashioned clothes. The same is true of the theatre. I would recommend giving a modern opera a try.
7. Take a Coach Tour
You will learn about many interesting parts of the city you probably don’t know about. If you are a long time citizen of your town, this is a great way to discover new things about the city that you didn’t know. If you live close to another city that you don’t often visit, why not take a bus there and do a tour of that city?
8. Book a Last Minute Hotel Room
This one is good for couples or groups. There are lots of resources on the internet to find last minute cheap hotel rooms. Why not book a night in a hotel you normally can’t afford and have an evening in with movies and alcohol. The best thing is that you don’t need to clean up the next day!
9. Posh Picnic
Everyone loves a picnic from time to time, but why not have a good old fashioned posh picnic? Make (or buy) little sandwiches with salmon, cucumber, egg, or any other posh sandwich filling. Make (or buy) a posh cake. Take a nice rug to sit on and take your best cutlery and real glasses and plates
10. Visit an Old Friend
We all have friends that we haven’t seen in a long time. Why not give them a call and get together this weekend? One of the nicest ways to spend an evening is at home (at your own or your friends’) with beer or wine and good conversation. If the weather is good in your part of the world, have a barbecue and make it a night to remember
WE ALSO FEATURED:
An interview with Duncan from the McLaren Circus which was started by Duncan and his brother 4 years doing garage performances and now it has expanded to what it is today.

We then were joined by Greg Danster from the Community Chest Carnival. He spoke as about the Community Chest Carnival, how it got started and what can be expected this year. Starts Wednesday 25 February 2009 and runs until the weekend.
Lastly we were joined by the cast of the first time ever done in South Africa, a production done by British playwright Sarah Kane 4.48 PSYCHOSIS. The play is directed by Ingrid Wylde and can be seen at the Intimate Theatre, orange street Cape Town.
