WIN 4 x Tickets To See Bloc Party & Die Antwoord at Vodacom’s In The City
I know, I know, it’s a long title, but it could have been even longer seeing as Tumi featuring Yesterday’s Pupil and Shadowclub are also playing. What I wanted to get across is that if you are in Joburg, and you can’t make Rocking The Daisies (which is the same weekend) you have to be at In The City, I mean, all your friends will be going. I’m going to make it easy for you. I’m going to give away 2 x double tickets, which means you now have a great excuse to go talk to that barman/work colleague/neighbour that’s you’ve been wanting to try your 50 Shades Of Grey stuff on (just wait a bit before you try the hectic stuff though).

All you have to do is tell me what feature you would add to a block party if you threw one. It can be anything, let your imagination run wild. I’ll run this till Monday morning.
GO!
Nash…
Out.
I would have a target practice game with flame throwers and stuffed animals. A better, funner variation of knock down the tins.
Well if you’re going to throw a successful “block” party why not make everyone dress up as giant logo blocks. This is an original theme/idea and it will ultimately result in much epic partying! We can have a witty catch phrase like “Don’t be a square. Be a rectangle!” Fun games for example, human Jenga and human Tetris can be played. Probably only after a few drinks though..
Also, just consider the infinite possibilities with regards to pick-up lines! “Hey there, we seem to fit together nicely” and it puts a whole new spin on the tried and trusted “you complete me”..
All in all, making Bloc Party a block party seems like it can’t go wrong..
I would suggest adding circular stages to line the barricades on the outside, spaced out obviously. My idea follows that of the Blue Man Group (the gentleman that use drums and paint). The idea is to create a platform where people can dance and rock out on and through the use of vibration of speakers (Instead of drums) make the paint jump up and get them all Dirty, Lumo covered (with washable, non staining Lumo paint of course). I think a good idea would be to place a frame over the stage, attached at the top would be some two-way speakers covered with a protective layer and lumo paint added onto them, the viabrations of the music sending the lumo paint down all mist like. The sight of people dancing on stages with lumo paint raining down on them gently would be an awesome sight, appropriate lighting is a must!
Lego* #damyouautocorrect!

If i has a party it would be a really crazy project X party and include motorcycles and a dusting of hot chicks obvs.
You know those dudes rolling around on stilts? Not a single one of them.
I tell you what you DO do though, is you get massssuive blocks, various different colours and you put em in varying heights around the edges of the where the crowd stands with ladders leading up to them. Each block fits 8 to 10 people so you can get a block for you and your mates to hang out on and you don’t have your people at the back having a kak experience. Doesn’t matter where you’re standing, you’re getting the action and if you’re in the front looking back it almost looks like somewhat of an amphitheatre. Close your eyes and picture it – THAT’s what a Bloc Party needs
I am super keen on all of the above mentioned, give or take a few would add to a completely rad night
Lego and blocks- Hell yeah!!!
Flame throwers in a crowd- fire hazard much!
There should be painters to cover peoples bodies in bloc party uv paint logos, not for free of course and proceeds can go to a good cause
There should be a theme as above mentioned but rather along the lines of the names of Bloc Parts songs. Some people can dress as witches, others as hunters.
some people can dress as sign boards, trojan horses and the ultimate little bloc people as in the video for the prayer.
Dont think you could ever go wrong with jumping castles, and other childhood creations for us to all relive our youth on.
There should be one massive punch machine vending machine vibe. pay for your punch. Very old school block party
sick photo booths with cardboard cut outs, if one is not so lucky as to meet the band themselves
Merchandise, glowsticks, umbrellas, parking
Okaaaaaaaay heeeerrrreeee we go :
David Guetta and Avicci playing remixed sets of all the Bloc Party tracks from suspended hot air balloon.
Speakers on roofs , and Folk dancing on roofs .
Boooooooozzzzeeeee foooooor daaaaaaaaaayyyyzzzzzzzzzzz
Helicopters circulating the block (hopefully I’ll also find witches in Limpopo so they’ll fly around the block in their brooms aswell ) :”’D
A huge ice skate rink
Candy floss and pop corn machines.
Those taaaaaall clowns juggling stuff around the block.
A splash pool and tooooons of foam allowing for a little nudity *coughs* lol !!
At some stage we all do flash mob vibes as the actual Band performs my favorite track “The Prayer” and when the track ends , tons of smoke comes from like NOWHERE and they disappear confusing everyone (was it them? Was it really them, and I’m like , oh yea , oh yea , oh yea ) !!!
A midnight air show just after the flash mob (consisting of witches) :”’D
Then we continue un-chaining the booze till everybody passes out on the roofs and streets . (Oh yea , oh yea , oh yea, its a party , its a party my block party , oh yea , oh yea *waves glow stick* )
And everyone knows nothing beats an awesome breakfast after a night of debauchery . So when we all wake up the following we morning there will be like hot dog stalls instead they’ll be serving an awesome breakfast for everyone.
Dooooooooooooone *Zoolander stare* !!!!!!!!!
Its my block party this one. Its miiiineeeee !!!
I would go mad. Just have a huge slip n slide…i mean girls in Bikinins and bloc Party. I’d also have the craziest visuals fro the band making it a super rad experience. I’d use peoples tweet to trigger the visuals to the crazier people go at the show the crazier the visuals get. Slip ‘n Slide, bikini’s and crazy visuals and of course Bloc Party. I mean really how much more awesome could it get!
So lark listen here okes.
Now I’ma get some of the sickest dj’s all spinning some phat Bloc Party fidget remixes that all the gents can skit to.
Have a few MMA rings outside for the okes that are full of adrenaline & wanna brawl – we gots to keep it fair & clean.
Also all the bints must be out there in there numbers, sporting there spring // summer bikini’s.
So lark it’s gonna be a main jol, lark a H20 party but in the middle of the city, boet.
The VIP section also has to be lank cool – jager bombs & monster drinks for all. Rubbing shoulders with my ex-GF Yo-Landi & what not.
Also we gots to have the sickest sponsors at the event, Vodacom so we can hit the okes with sms’s about the jol, Monster so we can party all night, TOMY so we can skit the right way etc…
I’m a naas guy so maybe we’ll have a few Tapout Wife-Beater giveaways during the party.
also get Bloc Party to rock a few Tapout vests & Monster snapbacks.
Yohsis
It’ll be too main
