      • 18 Aug 2010
      • The Wellingtonista
      • Normally around this time our lovely Sue would be getting all rapturous about the Downtown Community Ministry's Annual Book Fair, but since she's rather busy, let me just tell you that the fair is happening again this weekend (August 21 & 22) at the TSB Arena, with doors will open from 9am to 4pm each day.

      • An unfortunate number of Wellingtonistas are rather fond of making rather terrible puns quite frequently, which means a lot of my time is spend making "Badoom chish!" sounds.

      • The Wellingtonista
      • Not that it needs any pimping by us, but thought you should know that Wagamama in the Meridian building on the Waterfront is giving away free noodles today from 12 - 2.00pm.  We are talking don buri, udon and beef noodle salad here people, well worth waiting in line for if you have the time.   Behold the line at 11.30am last year....

        • ‘i went along to noodle day in wellington and it was absolutely awesome! the staff were so on to it even, and the food was great! and so incredibly fast considering the amount of people... apparently they had over 500 people thru the door in 2 hours! ther’
        • ‘I want to like it, and I do like it but I don't love it.  The food is fresh but needs more fatty goodness, it is a bit like Hollywood fad diet healthy versions of Japanese food. Shinobi for Japanese food, Shinobi all the way.’

    • I'm a Slave for you
      • 23 Apr 2010
      • The Wellingtonista
      • Anyone remember this guy? The self-same enterprising young man has been seen with an assortment of HI-VIZ clad worker types, some waiters and a guitar stumming up interest in an event rather shockingly entitled: "the Wellington Charity SLAVE AUCTION". Don't worry folks, it is all above board and for a damn good cause.

      • 15 Apr 2010
      • The Wellingtonista
      •   Got kids?   Well chances are they love seeing people in uniforms, big fire trucks with their hoses a-spraying, police dogs a-barking, big tug boats a-tooting, animal rescues, helicopters, cars being cut up with giant scissors, and general organised mayhem.

      • The Wellingtonista
      • Anyone who has been down to the waterfront this week would have seen a large rusty barge parked in the lagoon and a bunch of scaffolding and marquees going up. You may well be wondering, "what the hell is all of this in aid of?" Well gentle reader, today for one day only, the area around the lagoon and Frank Kitts Park is being transformed into a slice of Asia (well about 10 or so slices of Asia) for the Southeast Asian Night Market.

      • The Wellingtonista
      • If you haven't heard already, the Big Tune-in Sit-in is on today from 1-2pm on Parliament lawn. Bring your portable radio and a picnic lunch to celebrate Radio New Zealand and its importance to New Zealand's cultural life. As Sue says over on her Craft2.0 blog: yup it's a protest picnic, which really is an incredibly classy and special way of saying how much you love our national broadcaster.
