Less Mahi, more Kai
- The Wellingtonista
- You know how there is often cool free stuff happening at lunchtime if you have your ear to the ground (actually Twitter may well be the modern digital jungle drum or smoke signal if you know how to fossick and filter, or you could just just follow us on Twitter).

Band Substances
- The Wellingtonista
- An unfortunate number of Wellingtonistas are rather fond of making rather terrible puns quite frequently, which means a lot of my time is spend making "Badoom chish!" sounds.

Noodle noodle noodle
- The Wellingtonista
- Not that it needs any pimping by us, but thought you should know that Wagamama in the Meridian building on the Waterfront is giving away free noodles today from 12 - 2.00pm. We are talking don buri, udon and beef noodle salad here people, well worth waiting in line for if you have the time. Behold the line at 11.30am last year....

- The Wellingtonista
- Remember the good time y'all had last year at the TAWAs? Sure, a lot of that was us up on stage, but also, it was the Klezmer Rebs, playing rollickingly good tunes.
