Anybody got a "bench seat"?
- Six O'clock Swill
- We're looking for a specific set piece for our February show. It would be great to get our hands on a 70's era car bench seat, but really any car bench seat would do the trick.If you have one to lend, please get a hold of me via my mobile number 021 124 1794.Cheers,Walter

Ohtel by the Park
- Eye of the Fish
- Wellington’s buildings continue to surprise and delight me, relative newcomer as I am to this small, perfectly-formed city. It’s not a place that you could say has great traditions of anything in particular - it has demolished most, but not all of its Victorian heritage, has a fine collection of post-modern eighties buildings that have firmly gone out of style, with the remaining collection being eclectic at best, and motley at worst.

Ground Effect Grubber Fest
- T3 Track Blog
- 3 has been neglected for way too long, but now it's all go again. Go, go go! Motivation was supplied by Ground Effect, in the form of a stylie cycling top as a spot prize. Lucky Carl was the winner of the top (see photo). But everyone was just stoked to be making such good progress. That's the thing about difficult tracks, they don't take muck digging (not like Lazy Fern, the easy highway that seemed to take an eternity to build). Yep, T3 is ripping along. Another few sessions and it should be rideable all the way to the top of Trickle Falls.

The hundredth kaka
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- Kaka were extinct in Wellington for over 100 years until six captive-reared birds were released into the award-winning wildlife sanctuary in 2002. Since then several more captive-reared birds have been released, but the population has naturally increased at least ten-fold, and the birds are becoming an increasingly common sight in local parks and gardens.

These are the fixtures of your neighbourhood
- The Wellingtonista
- One of the things about living in a great city like Wellington is that there are a hell of a lot of things to take for granted. I mention this because while listening to Don McGlashan in Civic Square the other day he mentioned that Auckland doesn't really have any civic art. I'm not sure that's entirely true... But, in the spirit of parochial one-upmanship I thought I'd bring you some of Wellington's oft-overlooked art and sculpture.

Troublesome tui
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- While residents of Christchurch and Auckland are lying awake at night listening to the boy racers tearing up the tarseal, they might want to spare a thought for the poor Wellingtonians, who are suffering from an altogether different disturbance this summer. Troublesome tui!

Coffee in Newtown?
- The Wellingtonista
- Can anybody help me locate a decent coffee in Newtown during these interminable public holidays? Peoples’ is shut until Monday, as is the café at the Med. The only option I have located thus far is Eva Dixon’s at the Zoo (which was a lovely walk in the sun) but resulted in a small latté in a large takeaway cup topped by prodigious amounts of froth, cost me $5.20 including the surcharge, and tasted like filth. So, tomorrow I need a better option. Any ideas?
