Hi Neil

Thanks so much for participating in the weekend’s festival. I still feel terrible about the mess up with the microphone, as we looked forward to hearing your address. As Helena pointed out though, just your name seemed to be enough as it did not put a dent in the turnout, or the party!

I have to address a couple of Counter Revolutionary errors in your fun commentary though:

* Poor Jasper was not in charge of the microphone (we asked him to be in charge of the music of course, as not many can do it better), but the microphone was a completely separate thing, and the organiser’s duty – so the blame falls squarely at My and Callie’s feet, and since Jasper is somewhat hurt by your posting, I have to respond: DO LET JASPER ORGANISE THE SOUND (AND THE TUNES)!

* Eben’s wine from the Paardeberg was from his Stok-by-Paaltjie vineyard at Lammershoek, and not from the Voor Paardeberg. Not sure which Bloody Agent gave you that info.

* We Revolutionaries booked out the Royal Hotel in May this year, and there was no Chenin tasting listed at that stage… you might need to send some spies into the Royal to investigate their booking system and that Conspiracy Theory further.

Other those Counter Revolutionary Tendencies, you have everything spot on – as Raffi from Paris mailed me to say this morning “My wife asked me how it was this morning when I got back (from the Revolution), and I said that it was like ‘Woodstock.. but without the ***’.”

Look forward to seeing you there next year!

Cheers, Chris Mullineux

Hi Chris

The Jasper joke was meant in jest! He did top up my Bolly from a corked bottle, though. (Another joke).

The Voor/Poor-Paardeberg/Partyberg/Vaaderberg/Vaarterberg producer who misinformed me as to the origin of Eben’s granite grapes knows who he is and should wipe the grape-eating grin off his face.

Thanks Neil – mine was jest too

Corked Bolly… should have sent it back for a refund…

Neil, it was a great event.. with days of hard work and behind-the-scenes scrambling to get the program running smoothly.. some hiccups did slip in though.

Error on my side, the Bollinger was passed on to me, I should have tasted it before it went out.. Will definitely not happen again in future.

The mic, ja what can I say, the other sound guy hurried to a wedding and I did not know you had a speech.. If i had my own equipment (what is left after last year’s Paardeberg Harvest Party) you would have had center stage!

In hindsight, it was a unforgettable weekend and we go bigger, better and smoother next year..
See you in the Mountain..

Regards

Hi Jasper

No worries – it makes the story I’m writing about the Revolution for my next book all the more interesting!
