You gotta have faith, faith, faith! sang George Michael. But right now, if you want to see him up-close and sweat-splashingly personal from your front row seat*, you don’t need so much faith as a bit of spare cash (the story of our lives really). If you’re a huge George Michael fan (and you know [...]

Some like it hot at Black Barn Vineyards, Hawkes Bay
Summer at Black Barn in Havelock North is sizzling and the queen of sizzle herself, Marilyn Monroe was there this week on the big screen of their outdoor cinema. I’ve actually never seen Mazza in a movie and after trying to pay close attention to the story line of Some Like it Hot, with Tony [...]

New Year’s Eve events in New Zealand
Still stuck for ideas for what to do this New Year’s Eve? There’s tons of stuff on from Keri Keri to Invercargill, mostly around music and fireworks (Gin Wigmore and Dave Dobbyn in Waihi anyone?) – although a couple of singles events in Auckland look interesting for a new year’s snog if that’s what you’re [...]

New Years Eve in Auckland
New Years Eve can be the biggest anti-climax of the year – unless you’ve got somewhere cool to go. You know what it’s like, everyone hedges their bets waiting for something better to come along. Well here they are. That something you’ve been waiting for in Auckland this New Years Eve: Wherever you are when [...]

The world’s best marathons in 2010
If you’re a sport billy and one of your lifelong ambitions is to puff your way through the world’s major marathons, then this blog’s for you. (Note, this blog’s not for me. I figure the reason God made cars is to get 42km down the road without having to sweat.) There are probably as many [...]

Tom Hanks at Britomart this weekend!
Yay yay this must really mean summer’s here! Although Polar Express doesn’t exactly smack of beach towels and barbecues, the idea of watching a Christmas movie on a rug in Auckland’s CBD does. If you’re in Auckland this weekend, head down to Britomart to watch the Tom Hanks movie on the outdoor screen and get [...]

Celebrity poker tournament at SkyCity!
The SkyCity Festival of Poker started last night with a celebrity tourny so I rocked up to see if I recognised anyone. Ummm – basically anyone I didn’t I put down as Shortland Streeters. However that assumption went awry when I mistakenly threw a rugby league player and the guy from Supergroove into the soapy [...]

Honest to goodness weekend farmers markets
I stumbled upon a farmer’s market yesterday in my ‘hood and it was just the coolest thing – fresh breads (we’re talking posh Grey Lynn ciabatta and pain au chocolat), fudges, macadamia nut butter, fresh veges, smoked salmon, oils, pestos and spreads. They even had a stall where locals could sell their own odd shaped [...]

Cirque du Soleil – Dralion
Wow – there’s only a few days to go, so if you haven’t been to the supertop at Alexandra Park in Auckland to see Dralion, then what have you been doing?! I went last night and it was brilliant. Cirque du Soleil shows always are. I’ve seen 7 of them now. Five in Las Vegas [...]

Check out the Kiwis on the Great Wall Marathon
This weekend 2 of my friends will be puffing and panting over the Great Wall of China at the annual Great Wall Marathon. They have been practicing in their office building (Auckland Hospital) for the 5164 steps they will be traversing this weekend. I did warn them it won’t be lino, but still they seemed [...]
