Easy instructions on how to participate follow after the jump
1. Login in to Zoomin. If you're not already a member, you should become one. It's easy and free.
2. Join the Wellingtonista Celeb Vista group by visiting its page, and selecting 'Join this group' under members.
3. Search for the location of your sighting by typing in the address to the search bar.
4. From the results list, click on the address (not the "full details" link), which'll bring up an "add place" link
5. Click that to bring up the Add Place dialogue. Call it something like "Figwit sighting", add a description of the sighting and maybe some tags
6. That'll take you to a new place page at that address. Add photos (proper stalkerazzi photos, or something grabbed from the net - copyright free preferred, though), and add it to the group.
Aww. I was excited to see Mark. Guess I won't be putting in my exciting multiple sightings of Steve Gray from Good Morning then.
ooh yes, we have to polish our little stars, Steve Gray sightings please. I'm dying to spot Christopher from the Sopranos!
I'm doing my best to broaden the pool!
"Someone complain about the cappucinos?"
Someone should investigate their baffling resistance to stocking trim milk, and their Byzantine ordering system.
Astoria's a bit of a hangout for TVNZ types. Fair Go (and presumably other shows) used to be based in the old Petrocorp building at 86 - 90 Lambton Quay. I saw Janet McIntyre trollied at Astoria on the day that 20/20 was nabbed by TV3.
Somebody saw Christian Clemenson? Seriously? Doesn't he look kind of... Generic Lambton Quay-esque (i.e. it could have been anyone).
Well if by generic Lambton Quay you mean white, middle aged and wears a suit on tv then yes.
But ...
It was in the evening and triple-verified by three fans of the show.
Once I was sitting in the window at Krazy Lounge and Adrian Brody appeared across the road, having just emerged from either Rouge or Eef-Jays -- I forgot to pay attention to specifically where, because I was too busy fighting to conceal the sudden bulge in my pants from my companion.
Dude is hawt.
Well this has turned into a bit of a Damian Christie wet-dream, hasn't it ;>
Mark Sainsbury? Sheesh.. and what was Fair Go doing at Astoria? Someone complain about the cappucinos?
