A Mi is a meaningful interaction. MiWORLD facilitates real-time meaningful interactions, mass mingling and information sharing both offline @MiLOCATIONS as well as online @ www.mi-world.co.za.

MiLOCATIONS – Online meets offline in stylish, digitally advanced settings  such as bars, cafes, clubs and restaurants.
MiEVENTS – Experiential events for the MiWORLD community

Member invite priviledges are awarded to selected individuals and in order to enter a MiLOCATION, you have to register online and then log in at the door when you arrive.

Vintage Fresh will take care of the culinary experience serving light snacks and tapas, while Liquidchefs will dish up only the best in terms of specialised drinks.

• MiCAFE – A premium cocktail bar and cafe specialising in upmarket cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, light snacks and tapas will open its doors in phase 2 of The Zone @ Rosebank in August 2010.

Gadgets

Everything and anything that is cool and cutting edge becomes a part of what it means to Live Life Liquid…

An awesome and cool gadget making its way to the market is a pair of headphones that illustrate the funky uniqueness of an individual.  Kotori’s headphones have countless variations of colors that you can tailor to match your personality.   Check out http://kotori.fostex.jp/ to see the any of the suggested color combinations, or you can easily design your own by selecting the color of each of the 10 components, or just hit shuffle and see what happens randomly.

Art

We have a hunch we will be seeing much more of the work by the young, London-based graphic designer and illustrator, Nikki Farquharson.

Her ongoing project, Mixed Media Girls, gives the viewer a lot to look at. The collages appear innocent and sweet but at the same time exude sharp, pent-up energy that feels provocative, with an underlying seductive nature. The titles of the work are subtle, but can be very suggestive.  She incorporates the excitement of color, with what seems like a contemporary rebellious message of the nature and beauty of the female figure.

Tabure Thabo Bogopa Junior, a.k.a JR is our featured artist of the month. JR was nominated in the 2010 South African Music Awards for best rap album, ColourFULL,.   Although he did not win, as he entered the award ceremony screaming fans began to sing, “MAKE THE CIRCLE BEEGA”, which shows promise for this young artist’s future. His attitude and love for what he does is best expressed in a quote of his, ‘before I’m a rapper, I’m a musician’.  As you listen to more of his music you can feel the life, excitement and passion he puts into each one of his songs.

JR’s famous song “Show Dem” is now a main feature in Vodacom’s new Bafana Bafana campaign.  Believe it when we say that the dance, which accompanies the song in the commercial, will become the new fad across the county.  The entire South African nation will be ready to ‘Show Dem’ how to celebrate when Bafana Bafana score!”

• There are about 400 species of oak, though only about 20 are used in making oak barrels. Of the trees that are used, only 5% is suitable for making high grade wine barrels. The average age of a French oak tree harvested for use in wine barrels is 170 years!

• Among the world’s fruit crops, wine grapes rank #1 in number of acres planted!

• (Q). Should I ever use a decanter for my wines?

• (A). A decanter is used mainly to remove sediment from older red wines. Also, it can be used to open up young red wines. Otherwise, wine will “breathe” enough in your glass and decanting is not necessary.

• (Q). Why should I swirl wine in my glass before I drink it?

• (A). By swirling your wine, oxygen is invited into the glass, which allows the aromas to escape.
