Circus on the waterfront
Didn't someone just buy the Mt Smart Supertop
tent for $10.00!!
Maybe that would be the easy answer for a very temporary party venue - get it "bombed" by the local spray can crews, a few projections - voila! ...and then everyone can relax and think about doing summat creative and substantial on the waterfront without the ridiculous haste...Also doesn't it seem to be a smack in the face, and pocket, for every struggling hospitality venue in the downtown Auckland area to have the Gummint take all their patrons away during the RWC - where is the financial benefit trickle down to the masses then?
The Gummint should stick to Parliament as their "Key" entertainment venue and enterprise... -
the 3G shall last a 1000 years...
That Hitler Bunker clip has many uses it seems

According to the Council website this one is Saturday and Sunday is the rain day (or have they stuffed this up the way they did with the dates in the Movies In Parks flyer)
Well spotted Mr H. - according to The Bats it is as per the Council ie Saturday is concert day - with Sunday the rain day...
also if ya happen to be positioned in more southerly regions - The 3Ds are at The Bedford in Chch on Saturday night - probably on far too late for me - but great that they're here...
plus for even older folk and interested young'uns Chants R&B are reformed and playing at Al's Bar Friday and Saturday nights with Barry Saunders in support...

now this is a really cosmic radio receiver...
Visionary who designed world's biggest radio telescope, dies aged 92.
An engineer who designed the telescope that discovered the first planets beyond our solar system has died aged 92.
William Gordon was a visionary whose atmospheric work laid the foundation for current studies of satellite communication, space weather, and GPS.
He is probably best known for his role in getting the Arecibo Observatory up and running in the late 1950s. -
So are you still using antiquated gear that requires turning a dial and pushing a button :) ?
I guess they could spend a fortune and update to something technologically current, cutting edge and reliable, like, er the Telecom XT network...

Duplication of services...
Que? So just hardbacks, no paperbacks or e-readers then?
surely it is a singularity of content and diversity of delivery to accommodate various retrieval systems......kind of defeats the purpose really?
and what do you perceive as the purpose?
delivery of content to the most people is the purpose I'd have thought... -
Master Chef - Parliament
The long hot simmer...
If you can't stand the Heatley
get out of the kitchen...yellow card, red card,

Plonkers plonk - $175
Road trip - $1000
Currying favour with your credit card...
Priceless! -
the joys of radio...
try short wave - hours of fun - other countries, satellites, the big bang background noise!
plus it is a great for showing the effects of personal and other electromagnetic fields...
...and if you can get old valve radio with a tuning valve - they're fun too...Hell even as an off channel pink noise generator radio is pretty relaxing...

indie nihilist?
I stumbled on this on the web
- maybe it helps explain the stance..."Nothing is perfect
In the space where nothing exists
will one find perfection
The perfect nothingAccept nothing as fact
Question everything
Determine your own truth
Define your own realityBE YOUR OWN MESSIAH..."

I didn't happen to know this -- I looked it up on the historic street names page on the Christchurch library website.
