Coffee shops: For the first three years of being a student I envisioned obtaining my PhD in literature and frequenting coffee shops where I will read and write and be awesome forever. It's really the coffee and the books at Red Cafe, Reddits and the Mad Hatters scones and atmosphere that has that effect. Voices: other people who frequent coffee shops, or the self-professed security guard who keeps a watchful eye over Mad Hatters
Bottle stores: I often wondered what the bottle store keepers think about students when we descend upon their properties and purchase large quantities of beer, Crackling "bombs" and spirits. I bet they go "oh the youth of today" and I want to catch them say it.
Street art: street musicians, bead ladies, clever cons. The culture of street economics and its prevalence in G'town.
Earring man: Since I can remember there's been this guy outside Capitec Bank who sells the most divine earrings. I've had many chats with him, and I'd like to find out if he even likes earrings as much as his deep pocketed clientèle.
Intellectuals: not the same as coffee shop frequenters. A want to meet the true deep thinkers of the town, the unlikely suspects of academia, not the ones always being consulted, but the ones too busy working to care about media flash.
Afrikaans: As an Afrikaans girl I get very excited when I meet other Afrikaans people, and at Rhodes they are few and far between. I'd like to meet more Afrikaans people and ask them why the hell they're in this Soutie place.
Councilmen: what makes someone like Jock McConnachie laugh till his hat falls off? I want to tickle the serious of council chamber inhabitants.
Ubom: I really want to hear someone from Ubom speak about performance as a lifestyle.
Freelance actors: what puts food on the table? What's the big break gonna be? How long before they go into teaching?
Hospice shop: I love old stuff, and I have no tiff with wearing a dead person's clothes. I want to find someone is the hospice shops who's seen a ghost.
...What?
