The Wiggles; and an introduction

Hel­lo. I’m Alan. You may remem­ber me from such blogs as half-pie.

No? Oh.

James has added me to the ros­ter of con­trib­u­tors, for which I am very flat­tered. I’m still fig­ur­ing out what I could pos­si­bly relate about this fine city of ours that could be rel­e­vant and time­ly. And indeed, I was going to make excus­es for my lack of with-it-ness by explain­ing that I’m just a sub­ur­ban Dad-of-two, but as I think Mike, Andrew and James also fall into this broad cat­e­go­ry that’s not going to work. Those three are all more with-it than I.

And then there’s Joan­na and Jessie on board too, hip young things both.

Oh well. Best foot for­ward and all that. Per­haps one of them can review tonight’s Nick Cave gig for an old fogey that only found out about it after it had sold out?

And now, Welling­ton­ist hat on, we’d like to remind all the oth­er Dads and Mums out there that those mul­ti-coloured Bea­t­les of the pre-school set, The Wig­gles, return to Welling­ton for two shows at the Town Hall on June 10. Unlike Mr Cave’s gig, nei­ther show is sold out (yet).

Book at, er, Tick­etek.
