Let them eat antipasto platters!
- The Wellingtonista
- Sometimes a fly likes to take time out from frequenting the fine bars of this city to spend some time in the fine cinemas of this city. But when one buzzes into a cinema foyer, one does not expect to find that one has walked into a staff meeting, especially when one is in the posh section of the cinema - the part that charges $31.50 a ticket.

snapped? (wha)
- The Wellingtonista
- It's been a couple weeks since we last checked in on Snapper. The Snapper rollout has continued apace, and some of us haven't used our old ten-trips for two whole weeks! (Well, we were excited about this, anyway.) More and more people are boarding buses armed with the cards; and more and more buses (and their drivers) are ready to take them. And in the meantime we've learnt many things.

Dancehall Cinema
- The Wellingtonista
- For those of you more inclined towards UK roots reggae culture than euro-beats, there's a little something for you at the Film Archive this Thursday 7th. The Archive, in collaboration with NiceUp - local reggae forum and dancehall specialists - present the premiere Australasian screening of Musically Mad, a doco that examines sound system culture and the UK roots reggae scene, interviewing some of the shining lights of the community, past and present, and providing an historical context for the Caribbean-influenced musical culture.
