Christmas (boxes) come early

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 16:55:00 GMT

Christmas boxes will again be coming early to a lot of people this year (and I'm not meaning the glossy Leopard OS/X box) - I'm talking free food hampers delivered to thousands of homes and families: Christmas Box delivers "Christmas in a Box" to pe

Auckland Machine Head Concert Cancelled

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 17:51:00 GMT

Darnit! It seems that due to "insurmountable difficulties arose while attempting to secure passports and work visas, preventing the band from getting the necessary clearances from the respective consulates in time" the Auckland (and Seoul) Machine H

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 23:19:00 GMT

So I suppose I should write up some thoughts on Friday nights Guns and Roses gig. During the concert I was updating my Jaiku with the set list and immediate thoughts, so lets start with simply running through what my thoughts were: At the guns and

Lamb of God

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 00:08:00 GMT

Just returned from the Lamb of God gig at Aucklands' Powerstation. It was excellent gig but the sound could have been a bit better - a lot of things got lost in the distorted white noise field :( Definitely one of the best 'performances' I've see

Slayer at the St James

Sun, 22 Apr 2007 09:33:00 GMT

Just returned from seeing Slayer and Mastodon play the St James. Dave Lombardo is the bomb on the drums but Slayer still doesn't really do it for me - from both a lyrical ad musical standpoint. It was quite surreal, and somewhat disturbing for the

Auckland Zoo 2006

Some friends were up from Napier on the weekend and we tripped off to the Auckland Zoo - the weather was overcast, rainy, and generally not "zoo weather", but the day was fun, and I managed to get some good photos. However, there was plenty of crap

Following Thursday Night Curry this week I headed up to Hysteria on K'Road to catch HRA and Night Of Flies playing. Much fun ensued with some great photos (flickr photoset) - I just hope the ringing in my ears ends soon :(

There was literary a murder outside my door...

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 23:08:00 GMT

A few months back I was talking to "sales clerk #3" at Whitcouls over in Bottany Downs and she'd mentioned a new book coming out soon written by one of their staff - it was a thriller/murder mystery with a supernatural twist which sounded pretty darn

Worst half second ever

Mon, 18 Jul 2005 23:16:00 GMT

My parents were up in Auckland prior to flying out to England for a holiday, so I took them over to my brother and his wife's new house for dinner. The meal was an tasty home cooked roast, the fireplace was blazing with a warm fire, the rain outsid
