It’s all very good and well read­ing Wel­ling­tonista every day, and think­ing to your­self “hur­rah, I am an act­ive part of Wel­ling­ton! I am hip and young and down with the kids” – but what have you done for the com­munity lately? I’m not talk­ing about giv­ing to char­ity, or coach­ing a sports team, or any of that stuff. Oh no. I’m talk­ing about giv­ing up your thoughts and ideas – that and buy­ing us drinks. Well it just so hap­pens that today we’re going to provide you with a chance to do both of those things, so pop on your hat of altru­ism, and here we go:

1. For the know­ledge­able amongst you, loc­al bearded man with a cam­era Blink is com­pil­ing a book of loc­al know­ledge, and he wants your help. Stop by his for­ums to share your ideas about cheap places to eat, stay and drink in Wel­ling­ton (or any of the oth­er places in NZ that we like to pre­tend don’t exist).

2. For the gen­er­ous stalk­ers amongst you, Tom of Wel­lurb­an is organ­ising drinks for the people of Wel­ling­ton-who-write-webpages-and-like-to-drink. You can find more details on his site in three seper­ate entries, but the guts of the mat­ter is come to Boulot on Blair st from around 6pm, and look out for us. It’d be great if you intro­duced your­self as well, but if you’d like to sit in a corner and send the tall fat girl drinks anonym­ously via the hott staff, that’s also a per­fectly val­id option and we’d still respect you in the morn­ing.
