This should be more popular: Chef's Cafe
- The Wellingtonista
- At the top of Cuba Street, opposite Fidel's and next to a sex shop is what appears to be a crappy little tea room named Chef's Cafe. You might think that they're going to try and sell you a pie and a custard square, but you couldn't be more wrong. See that little sandwich board outside that says "Takeaway Curry $10"? That's right, this is an Indian restaurant. And it's good. And it's insanely cheap*.

Vosseler Shield, Mt Victoria, 24 May 2008
- Wellington Scottish Athletics Club
- It was a day when the trails around Mt Vic had their own water features that were topped up periodically. Underfoot it was muddy and greasy - blunt spikes or nobby trail shoes seemed to be the weapons of choice - but atmospherically conditions were good. Plenty of yellow singlets were in evidence in all four starts.

From Mike’s Desk …
- Karori Baptist Church
- Every Thursday morning at 7am, we have a prayer meeting at the church for those involved in leadership roles at KBC. We spend some time talking about the things relating to church life that are on our hearts and minds, and we pray together about them. Last Thursday, as we shared and prayed, I was struck by the fact that so much of what we were talking and praying about fitted so well with our “Sanctuary Metaphor”.

Yes it’s too late to ignore it anymore - the hospital has reached a state of completion that, while still some way to go, affords us a chance to review the progress so far.

Basically, a whole bunch of film makers, both experienced and amateur, organised and chaotic turn up at various locations around New Zealand this Friday night, are given a genre, and maybe some other mysterious factors to include, and are let loose to make a film and hand it in 48 hours later. This year there are more than 600 entries, so the mind boggles as to how many people in total are participating.

Why I voted against Mayor Prendergast for Local Government New Zealand
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- The position of president of Local Government New Zealand is too important to be held by a peak oil denier. That is why I would not support Mayor Prendergast in her bid for the position. Peak oil is the most serious issue that we face on a local and global level. I made that clear while the Dompost reporter was recording proceedings. Furthermore, the mayor has shown nothing of the balancing qualities needed in a democratic role. Democracy is much bigger than one person getting their way. Majority rule is always to be balanced with minority protection and sharing the benefits.Bryan Pepperell Wellington City Councillor for Southern

The Best Cocktail Party In Town
- Texture
- It’s the 202nd birthday of the cocktail this coming Wednesday (the 13th) and YOU are invited to the early party. On Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th of May, three of the best cocktail-making institutions in New Zealand are pulling out all the stops to celebrate this very special occasion. The Matterhorn, Motel bar, and the Hawthorn Lounge will be combining their super-powers to deliver a taste of class to all Wellington cocktail lovers. Each bar will delve into a sacred tome on the craft of the cocktail, and strive to recreate their classic recipes for your tasting enjoyment. The Matterhorn will be working from The fine art of mixing drinks (By David Embury, 1948), Motel from The bar-tenders guide (Jerry Thomas, 1887) and the Hawthorn folks will be utilising selected drinks from The Savoy cocktail book (Harry Craddock, 1930). There will also be an aim to enlighten one and all on the glorious (and at times infamous) history of cocktails. This is shaping up as two stupendous evenings of entertainment, indulgence and (Fun) education. So round up you homies and homettes for cocktails at one or all three of Welly’s cocktail-forging icons. You can practice your James Bond or Sarah Jessica Parker for this, so don’t forget to dress to impress! -Darren

Vodafone Homegrown 2008 - Wellington Waterfront, 26th of April
- Texture
- Blessed by good weather, Vodafone Homegrown had a lot to prove if it was going live up to all the hype surrounding it's innaugural year. And in most areas that promise was fulfilled. 30+ local acts appearing on four stages for over 10 hours, had all the hallmarks of a logistical nightmare in the making. Yet the Wellington waterfront was a good choice for such an undertaking, providing space and scenery to enhance the spectacle on hand.

Wishing for a better world
- The Wellingtonista
- Wishbone have put up the prices of most of its food by $1, so now you will pay $7.50 for their cranberry, chicken and brie sandwich (luckily, next door to my local Wishbone is the Concorde Cafe where I can get a crusty baguette filled with salami and cheese, and a mystical half olive for a bargain $3.50). They say that it is the rising cost of petrol that has forced them into it. We say that maybe if they investigated ways to reduce the ridiculous amount of plastic that their food comes in, the cost of petrol wouldn't affect them quite as much.

My Brilliant Divorce Production Diary - Sound Design
- Downstage Theatre Blog
- Sound Designer, Gil Craig, recorded the voice overs on Wednesday morning and supplied a small set-up with the help of House Technician, Marc Edwards. This allowed us to test the recordings on a basic level in the rehearsals. From here Ginette and Geraldine discovered it didn't quite fit the picture they are trying to create.This is a technique often used by Sound Designers to test out their ideas and ensure they are on the same page as the Director.
