25th of November (It's a Friday and leaves you with Saturday to party elsewhere (perhaps here) or two days to recover from a hangover)
Where:
Arcade Empire, Corner Hans Strydom and the N4, Pretoria (I just know that if you're coming down Hans Strydom from the Menlyn side then you're going to go past a Cape Town Fish Market. That's not much help but I suck at directions).
- Griet map for the event (here)
- If you're coming from Joburg then your best mode of transport is the Hotbox Express. I've been on it once and it was so cool! It's very easy to make friends from the ride and you get even more amped for the party. Check it out here.

Griet have a reputation as being one of the most badass artist and event management companies in the Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town regions. With artists like Double-Adapter, HAEZER, Yesterday's Pupil and Kidofdoom under their belt it's difficult to expect anything other than epic parties from them and that's precisely my experience of Griet this year. I can tell you that I waited an entire year for Griet Halloween Party 2011 because I missed last year's one. You will experience massive amounts of regret and fomo if you miss this event. It's epic that they are celebrating their birthday in this fashion and the coupling with Dont Party is going to be insane. Dont Party push the boundaries in terms of getting international and local talent under one roof for us to enjoy.
Reason why I want to go:
I really want to check out the internationals Dirtyloud and F.O.O.L! Their music sounds incredible! I also think Liver is amazing, no, he's actually incredible.
I heard Oliver Twisted at the DOGBOX Foam Party earlier on this year and from what I can remember from that night (which isn't much) he's good too. I've heard about the other artists from friends, they're all good. So the line-up is going to smash things up! That's reason enough to go but then Griet did something else...

Their 3rd birthday party is based around a carnival theme. It's called Grietland. We can expect carnival activities, tons of free stuff and the Dont Party Mega Treasure Hunt.
I've already got a partner and we're going to try find that Golden Ticket before any of you do. The Golden Ticket will allow us free entrance at any Griet or Dont Party event during 2012.
The number of parties in 2012 is directly proportional to the closeness of the world ending so that's going to be a ton of parties that we could go to.
Then the naked guy might be around. Look out for him on stage.
