In the Museum of Curious Intent
- The Wellingtonista
- When Arlo Edwards approached an art dealer with his work at the age of eighteen, the dealer told him to "come back in 10 years, and then maybe we’ll look at your work". Not content with such a response, Arlo embarked on a somewhat unorthodox curatorial career, and has been putting on exhibitions when and wherever he could for more than a decade. Toi Pōneke Gallery is the next venue for one of his projects, an exhibition of work by 10 local established and emerging artists.

Spring Festival at the Botanic Gardens
- The Wellingtonista
- Tulips, tours, art, "Crafty Fifi", the legendary Fairy Trina and more at this year's Spring Festival in the Botanic Gardens. Running from 28 September until 12 October. I can confirm that the recent (and typical for this time of year) gales have not denuded the tulip gardens & so weather permitting, Tulip Sunday on the first day of the Festival, should be a beautiful way to spend an hour or two communing with nature.

Weta reform and announce gig date
- Texture
- They’re back. Wellington rockers Weta have reformed and are about to hit the San Fran Bath House for a massive gig on November the 21st. The local guitar heroes first blew up (In terms of fame) after their debut album, Geographica, was released in 2000. The following year they blew up again, but this time it was the band being blown into pieces - with Weta front man, Aaron Tokona, thought to have stopped believing in what he was doing and calling an end to Weta as a group. But that was then and this is now. I’ve seen the boys in action a few time, and let me just say that they have always played with a fire and passion most other musicians would kill for. They’ve played support for acts such as the Foo Fighters and Soundgarden – not to mention Wellington’s favorite sons, Shihad, and have always matched the bigger names for their intensity. Make no mistake; this gig will be a SELL OUT. Be in quick to get your tickets, lest you miss the return of an iconic Wellington band. It’s going to be huge. -Darren

Electro Oh How We Love You
- The Wellingtonista
- Some of us have missed out on Peaches tickets AND found ourselves too skint for Bill Bailey at the St James tonight. Le Sigh. Le Big Sigh. Fortunately solace can be found at Mighty Mighty tonight in the arms of some sweet, sweet electro. NZ based producers, DJs and live performance will be on hand to pound away that pain.
