BONSAI AND SPRINGSTEEN!

At this point I’m not sure in which order we will run this event, as the movie time details are not available yet, so watch this space for more detail later.

But here’s the deal: We will attend the Houghton Bonsai & Succulent Market, interact with the vendors, take in some of their presentations, and perhaps load up a beautiful bonsai, orchid or succulent to take home. This popular annual plant event in Johannesburg is promising a range of displays, interesting workshops and demonstrations about gardening and how to grow tricky plants at home. Shoppers also have the rare opportunity to browse and buy miniature succulents, unique bonsai and rare orchid plants from a variety of suppliers. Look out for something weird and wonderful, like trending air plants, decor accessories, and other essentials.

Before or after, we will take in the new Springsteen movie! With lunch somewhere in-between...

Based on the 2023 book Deliver Me from Nowhere by Warren Zanes, the film chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 album ‘Nebraska’ when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen's New Jersey bedroom, and including the recording of ‘Born In The USA’ with the E Street Band, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works - a stark, somber acoustic record portraying the lives of blue-collar workers who try to succeed in life but fail at every turn, while searching for a deliverance that never comes. Starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen.

Some nice pensioner specials at the theatre, e.g. movie ticket for R 70.00 and combo movie ticket + popcorn + drink for R 149.00....
