The weekend was an artsy one, with the Bayima International Festival of the Arts taking place at the National Theatre. Ok, there was also Sean Kingston but it was full. The place not the artiste. The festival started on Friday so I sneaked in to watch one of the first acts, the Lantern Meet of…
Over the weekend, I was minding my own business, staring intently through slightly-parted curtains to see what my neighbor was having for lunch. 1 hour 40 minutes and I still couldn’t make it out. Then a moth somehow floated onto one of the curtains and started to speak. Below are a few of the magnificent…
I was out over the weekend doing my annual inspection of bars; you know, doing basic checks to find out what allure these shindigs present after dark. Pure research. I run into a couple of buddies and they told me that beer prices had gone up. I’d heard rumors in the news before about beer…

Kickboxing is the sport that allows you not only to use your legs to deliver all kinds of bodily harm to your…

Lions do not roam our streets….

Not only was the weekend long, it was also quite eventful. You see: The Cow Got A Wife There was an awesome play showing at the National Theatre on Friday. The play had won 3rd place in a BBC play-writing competition judged by Wole Soyinka. I’d listened to the play more than once, and interviewed…
There were shouts of joy in all parts of the country when the full cabinet list was released last week. On the streets of Kampala, people were spontaneously bursting into song, hailing the powers that be by raising their voices in song. Anyone listening could make out such mighty jams as “Macarena”, “Sunda” and “Run…
