1. Right now you should go and buy your tick­et to the Wel­ling­ton Girl Geek din­ner, because accord­ing to their site, there are only three tick­ets left. And you know you want to go, because a) Brenda is awe­some at all things inter­web b) I’m speak­ing and there must be a reas­on why I’m so hub­rist­ic­al and c) we already men­tioned the hope­ful swag.

2. On Sat­urday, you should go to the Gay and Les­bi­an Fair in Civic Square, because, to quote Sue, it’s “fully licensed with rumours of white­bait frit­ters”.

3. As if that was­n’t enough of a fair, on Sunday there’s the New­town Fest­iv­al!

4. Also on Sunday, the Cos­tume Cave is hav­ing a sale of its old cos­tumes, so you should go along and get some new out­fits to spice up your life. As a side note, I was going to do a post at one stage recom­mend­ing that you rent any wigs you may need from the Cos­tume Cave instead of since Cre­at­ive Sho­woff in Thorndon they’re $10 instead of $20, but then I was a month late in return­ing a wig to Cre­at­ive and they did­n’t charge me any­thing, so that’s nice.

And the half point: Since we know there’s plenty of Auck­landers who read this site as well, on Sat­urday at 5pm the Auck­land­ista is hav­ing its first meet-up in an extremely untrendy bar near the Via­duct, and so if you’re inter­ested in con­trib­ut­ing to the site, you should get in con­tact to find out where they’ll be and come along.
