Spend the night with The Parlotones...almost alone

So Fred over at Ideate tells us that Golf Punk magazine are hosting a private poker evening with The Parlotones who will be serenading the players at half time with a show.

Jameson are also using the opportunity of branded entertainment to arm participants with whiskey and as much food and beverage as the night will allow you.

As keen purveyors of branded content Fred's offer of a ticket to the event has got us jiggy to attend the event on the 7th of May at Chevelle night club in Cape Town.

There are numerous reasons to attend, but the main one is that if you're keen as mustard to go check it out the first 10 readers who respond to this Ideate post will get R250 off the ticket (i.o.w. it will cost you R750) PLUS you’ll get a Jamesons mini poker set, signed by the Parlotones.

Sponsors

Time to thank this month's sponsor that being Pigg's Peak Casino.

If you're left alone in the office while everyone else is either on holiday or on the boozy year-end lunch, which you declined to attend - you now have another entertainment option.

BMW South Africa goes interactive with Zoopy

Haul out your video cameras and copies of Final Cut Pro, cause this week's sponsors are looking for your creative input.

The BMW 1-series guys have a question: How do you interpret the difficulty of focusing on just one?
They've teamed up with local video hosting portal Zoopy, and are looking for your camera or video images for the answer. There are clearly prizes up for grabs and an opportunity to rate other people's submissions.

Check it out here.

Over at our jockstrap blog Feverpitcher, this week's sponsor Peugeot have got a couple of all access passes to this year's Rugby World Cup in France.

It's clearly a cracking prize, which requires that you video yourself acting like a complete maniac and then sending them the clip for us all to see.
Fame and tickets to Paris - and if we win, we're sure the boys will let you help carry the cup home.

Check it out here.

Thanks to both for their sponsorship on the Cherryflava Network this week.

Sponsor hat tip

Thanks again to our sponsors this week: Nokia N95 - a review of which we found here.... and Big Blue. If you as yet have not entered the R20 000 Makulu Polane T-shirt design competition, time is running out and you will miss the opportunity of raking in the cash purse.

Advertiser love: Get out your crayons for this year's Makhulu Polane

A warm welcome to our newest Cherryflava advertiser - and yip, it's that time of the year again.

The annual Big Blue Makhulu Polane T-shirt design competition which is now officially open for entries.

If you missed out last year - here's the lowdown.

Makhulu Polane (loosely translated means Big Idea) aims to discover new, original, South African talent. The competition is open to anyone who feels they have a t-shirt design which is unique and quintessentially South African.

The 2007 design theme is: What is your interpretation of ‘AfroKaaner’?

Aspiring designers must submit their designs via the Big Blue website by 15 July 2007, [and here's the all important money shot] the winning designer will take away R20 000 in cash and their t-shirt design will be sold in all Big Blue and Kitsch & Kool stores for two months.

Enter here.

Big shout out and mad props also to this week's Cherryflava network sponsor Nokia who have kept us honest and our various homepages hi-tech with their new N95 pocket communicator. Rich...! we got a feeling this might be one just for you.

Stormhoek + Cherrypicka = Customised test Sauvignon Blanc for review

Marketing wunderkinders, Stormhoek - have something a little special for Cherrypicka cash test dummies.

They've set aside a few bottles of their pre-release 2007 Sauvignon Blanc for some tasting.

If that weren't enough to make you run deliriously around your office, screaming 'yeeeeehhaaaaaaa' while flapping your arms around like a five-year old girl being chased by a hairy spider - they'll personalise your test bottle (with your name) too.

Obviously you can only have one if you promise to write a review on Cherrypicka 
Come on, that kind of goes without saying.

Is that a Nokia N95 in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

High-fives and a big welcome to our newest advertiser here on Cherryflava, the all new Nokia N95.

In a quick YouTube search for the latest from Nokia, we stumbled upon this bus stop billboard memory game that was flighted in the UK. Find the pairs behind the pockets.There's nothing quite like interacting your bus stop.

Calling all local designers - Big Blue wants you

Local lifestyle brand retailer (and now Cherryflava advertiser), Big Blue are venturing into the world of 'user engagement' - and are opening up space in their stores for your t-shirt design.

Much like uber-sweet online success Threadless.com, Big Blue are searching for some hot local design talent and  have launched a competition where you could win R20 000 and have your t-shirt design sold in their stores.

Its a bit like Idols, but without all the annoying bits.
If you're creative and think you've got an idea, which is going to catch the judge's eye and secure the purse of R20k, then do it.

Show us your Makhulu Polane and we'll make you famous - Big Blue
