Last night the City Gallery played host to the launch of Gamefroot, a new platform on which to build platform games — or more specifically, a HTML5 Game Creation tool. If you can use a web browser and if you can use mouse to click and drag – then you can use Gamefroot. The bar has […]
“Audience members will be seated close enough to touch the performers and viewers will be encouraged to think about the ways they look at women’s bodies — both on film and in the flesh.” No, that’s not the press release from Wellington Fashion Week. Instead, it’s Lucrece: An Adaptation of Shakespeare’s the Rape of Lucrece, […]
Our favourite Miramar Mexican restaurant is turning one, and to celebrate, they invited us along to learn how to make tortillas, and to taste some tequila. It’s a hard life being a Wellingtonista, but if we have to rub shoulders with mouth heroes like Jonny and Rachel and Martin, well these are the lengths we’ll […]

Ha ha ha, of course we’re kidding. Let’s talk about pancakes instead.We wanna know where Wellington’s best pancakes are at. Today for lunch I went to Cafe Panama (in fact, I am still there. Woo!), and this is what I ate: I thought I was ordering standard pancakes with banana and bacon for $11.50, but […]

Naturally, they’ve decided to do a show in the Wellington Fringe Festival […]
