Well con­grat­u­la­tions Wel­ling­to­ni­ans & wan­nabes, even with a short­er vot­ing peri­od we saw a record num­ber of votes for the fifth The Annu­al Wel­ling­tonista Awards. Now that vot­ing is closed, let’s pay atten­tion to tomor­row night. OMG, what are you going to wear?

Here’s what’s going to hap­pen on the night tomor­row, Decem­ber 3rd.

  1. The Awards will be held at Mighty Mighty, as always. You can get there any time you like, but from 6.30pm we’ll start char­ging $5 on the door. Get­ting there early does­n’t mean you won’t have to pay, it just means you’re more likely to get a seat. We’re pretty pop­u­lar and cool, you know. Plus, pay­ing means you get a tick­et to go into the draw to win all kinds of amaz­ing prizes that I will expand on later in this post. And you can cap­ture the night in the Amaz­ing Trav­el­ing Pho­to­booth!
  2. Awards will start around 7pm. Win­ners get beau­ti­ful trophies from the fab­ulous Ponoko.
  3. After the awards, around 8.45pmish, we’re going to have a DJ per­form­ance by Dan Untitled.

    Dan James has played in vari­ous guises over the years.  His live audi­ovisu­al mashup pro­ject Anaes­thesia Asso­ci­ates has played in NZ, Lon­don, Ber­lin and live online.  Copycat Crime was murdered mid-set at a party.  Elbow vs Knee made an album and then went on hiatus. Ubermahlung und Frot­tage is a new pro­ject in which he drops samples, scratches vinyl and plays bass all at the same time.

  4. After THAT, Mighty Mighty takes the party back over for the Stink Mag­net­ic Son­ic Were­wolf Con­fer­ence.  That’ll cost you anoth­er $5, but we reck­on it’s going to be a howl­ing good time.

So now let’s talk about prizes! Oh my good­ness! Robyn said on Twit­ter that it’s like we’re Oprah, and that’s pretty much true. So here, in alpha­bet­ic­al order, let’s talk about the good­ies we’re giv­ing away. We are so happy with all the amaz­ing busi­nesses con­trib­ut­ing to the night. These people are awe­some and you should buy many many things from them.

So you’re com­ing to party with us, yes? Yay! And remem­ber – we are very happy for you to buy us drinks. Cheers!
