Calexico - New Americana #Restaurant at #44Stanley #Johannesburg #SouthAfrica @CalexicoJHB

Hi Friends,

The much-anticipated re-opening and revamp of Stanley Beer Yard is now open.

The brand-new doors opened on Friday to reveal an entirely new look and the new name. Co-owners Larry Hodes and Michael Vacy-Lyle are excited to show Joburg what they have in store: “The new restaurant is an eclectic mix of Americana style food, décor, and music – staying true to the nature of Stanley beer Yard, but with a shinier and edgier feel”.

Calexico is a border city in California: a portmanteau of the words California and Mexico and a perfect intermingling of music genres, food, and dance. The band of the same name is an Americana, Indie, country, folk and Latin rock band from Arizona. The music style, like the city it gets its name from, is a blend of southern Californian and Mexican inspired sounds.

“Their feel-good harmonies, alongside legends like Band of Horses, the Eagles, The Band, Otis Redding, John Coltrane, Bob Marley and The Beastie Boys have inspired our very own Calexico: an Americana style restaurant and bar.

Calexico has its roots in great music and being first and foremost a vinyl lounge, we have decided to include a vinyl wall full of records from legendary musicians. We have included a classic record player, where patrons are welcome to play their own choice of vinyl during the day” says Larry Hodes.

The new menu was designed by chef and food stylist Robyn Timson-Moss, who believes the food is a vibrant take of classic Californian-style dishes. Think artichoke, nachos and hot brisket and racks and racks of ribs.

Calexico prides itself on diversity and originality – inspiration hit when trawling through the names of great rock legends and flavourful food styles and genres – a perfect combo of music, eating and drinking.

Real music never gets old.

 

Cheers!!!

Movie Review - Instructions Not Included (2014)

Hi Guys, 

Some movies brings tears to your eyes and makes you think about your loved ones. They makes you grateful that you still have them in your life and then you cherish your moments of togetherness. This is one of those movies and I don't remember any other movie in recent past that have brought tears in my eyes since Life is Beautiful & Schindler's List. No instructions included (2014) is a journey of a person from being a carefree Casanova to taking full responsibility as a dad. The life gave him no choice as he falls into it, the movie shows the journey he travels through being a single dad.

Instructions Not Included (2014) is a Mexican Comedy Drama movie acted and directed by Eugenio Derbez. He has acted very well as a learning father to a child girl played by Loreto Peralta. She is the soul of the movie. How their lives got intertwined and how they learn from each other makes the context of this movie. The movie has a mystery attached to it which is revealed only in the last scene of the movie. 

This movie is definitely worth a watch whenever it's coming on TV or this can be easily added in your personal DVD collection. I really loved watching the movie and felt that you should always be happy and build on your personal relationships all the time. Not only good relationships keeps you stress free but also makes you enjoy your life and gives a purpose to your whole existence.

Movie got released in Ster Kinekor on 17th Oct 2014 and is now available in DVD format. More info on twitter and facebook.

Cheers!!!
