Another tasty tit bit
- The Wellingtonista
- Enjoy gallery is hosting the penultimate event in their performance workshopping series tonight. Of course, dear reader, it would be outrageous to suggest that you have no other social engagements lined up for the Saturday of a long weekend, but if you can forgive me once again for the short notice, may I suggest that you nip up to the Enjoy gallery on Cuba St (upstairs near Scopa).

From Mike’s Desk …
- Karori Baptist Church
- I’ve been continuing to reflect on the “Sanctuary Picture” which we’ve been using as a way of helping us understand and explain what we sense God has called us to as a church community.

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”.

Wellington Hospital - the 800lb gorilla sitting in the corner that no one admits is there
- Eye of the Fish
- For the last two years since the demolition of the antiquated Wellington hospital, a massive construction has been taking place in Newtown, balanced on its giant rubber base-isolated foundations. 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.

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.
