Mister Deejay Presents

Heineken are running a “FoosBall Challenge” at various bars in the city at the moment and I’ve caught the bug (mainly because I badly want to win that trip to Amsterdam).

My thinking was that this foosball thing cannot be that hard.  I’d learn how to play in week one, become a foosball ninja in week two, beat any and all comers in week three, and off to Amsterdam I go!  I went to Legends last Wednesday full of confidence and challenged one of the Heineken reps to a game to gauge my skill level and see how much work I had to do.  Bad idea. Not only did he beat me quite comprehensively, but once he saw I was more Foosball Wannabe than Foosball Ninja, he picked up a drink and played one-handed.

Tres embarrassing.

My game needed work, so I moved on to Plan B, in which I channel Rocky Balboa and train, train, train until I reach the top! All I needed was a pasty who I could beat a few times to get my confidence up.

Enter theMith.

I’ll jump right to the end and tell you that he beat me twice and both times he came from behind- I was up 7-0 in one game- BUT HE CHEATED!!!

I don’t have conclusive proof (yet) but there are some “coincidences” that give me pause:

1. He said he’d never played foosball before. (Liar!!!)
2. He was very cosy with the supposedly impartial Heineken referee. (You can see from this picture, which was taken at Heineken’s launch event, that they had met before). Did I see money being exchanged after our game? No I did not, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen…
3. He was very particular about the table we played on. Did he perhaps have it rigged? Did he know the table enough to give him an unfair advantage. My Spidey Senses say yes.

In the end I had to swallow a ton of pride and get theMith’s round of drinks. But I got my revenge.  TheMith broke a cardinal Foosball rule (that I just made up): never leave Mister Deejay alone with your phone after you have beaten him cheated at foosball.

He got distracted while I was listening to his new single, “Winner”, and I bluetoothed the song to my phone.  The game is always on! Mwahahaahaha! If you want a copy of the song, tweet me @misterdeejayug or email me at contact@misterdeejaypresents.com and I’ll send it to you.

That’ll teach him

The challenge continues at these spots around town, and you best believe I will be at each of these. I am currently in the middle of some serious Karate-kid type training in an effort to take my game to the next level. If theMith is man enough, he’ll show up and there will be a replay.

New Years Eve is usually the most hyped and most disappointing night of the year. Every one goes out on New Years eve, but not everyone has a good night. This is one night of the year when winging it just doesn’t cut it. You have to have a plan.  The last thing you want is to find yourself a night stuck in-between parties when the clock strikes midnight.
For those who haven’t made plans yet, I’ve got three killer options for you:

• New Year’s Rewind Party at Mask Lounge, C&C building Bukoto. Why you should go: f you are a fan of old school music (and who isn’t?) DJ Aludah & BthaMyth will be serving up the goods tonight at the Mask Lounge. Ladies free before 9pm. Entrance is 20k.

• Legends End of year Carnival. Why you should go: cause that’s where I’ll be!   I’ll be behind the decks from 11pm to 2 at Legends tonight, so come along and let’s welcome 2013 together! Entrance is 10k.

• Heineken NYE party at the Seventeen Apartment Hotel in Kololo. Why you should go: cause Heineken knows how to put on a party. Unfortunately this one is invite only, so if you know someone, start making calls.

Of course there are other New Years Eve parties going on. Whatever you do tonight, BE SAFE!!!

Happy New Year!!

As some of you may know I went to extreme lengths to watch the Skyfall premiere last night. I wanted to be one of the first not just in Uganda, but in the whole world to watch the 22nd James Bond film.  Daniel Craig is proving to be a pretty good Bond.  The best one ever? Maybe. One of the top three? Definitely.

Heineken put on a real show at the Cineplex Oasis. The decoration and organisation of the entire event was perfect.  From the moment you arrived at Oasiss Mall you were immersed in the Bond experience.  There were parked BMWs at the entrances guarded by men in dark suits and glasses and Heineken-green ties with the Bond theme (you know the one) blaring on the speakers.  The entire Cineplex area was well-decorated in green and white, DJ Global played the perfect music for the mingling sessiona and the beer was free! Free beer = a good party (although it’s not very good for watching a movie- more on that later).
