Of course, we here at the Wellingtonista would never blow our own trumpets, but we’re happy to blow our families’ – in a non Southland kind of way, of course – so we’re pleased to tell you about the new exhibition on at the Academy Gallery called Solo 22. There’s paintings and sculptures by other […]
As James pointed out yesterday, there’s a lot going on in Wellington at the moment. I don’t know about any of it, because I live in Auckland. But there is one particular upcoming Wellington event that I am aware of. Tomorrow night, Friday 24 February, much-lauded Wellington-via-Palmerston-North band Cortina will perform at Indigo alongside Disasteradio, […]
For those of not interested in (or without tickets to) the Sevens, and an appreciation of fine local music and the joys of a BBQ on a nice day, may we recommend the Little Day Out, taking place today (Fri 3rd Feb) at 42 Old Porirua Rd, Ngaio. Wellington blues-rockers Connan and the Mockasins are […]
If you happen to see a group of large, fit, young lads wandering about the Wellington streets this week, chances are you’ve either stumbled across the cast of Downstage‘s latest play ‘The Boys in the Band‘ , or, and more likely, one of the Rugby Sevens teams that are in town for this weekend’s tournament.

WellUrban probably sums up the effect of the annual Kirk’s Sale best when he writes… Expect worse than usual queues of SUVs between Karori and Lambton Quay this morning: the Annual Kirks sale is on. From the look of some of the ladies queueing outside the doors this morning, it could be said that they […]
Amongst the usual info accompanying the email alerting us to a rare Bunnies on Ponies performance, was a brand new word – nosfarious. To quote… The nosfarious Bunnies On Ponies are making a rare appearance at Cabaret (ne Chow) this Saturday night from 11pm. We like it. If one of the Bunnies (or, indeed, one […]
January 28 until February 11. And listen up folks, it’s the Year of the Dog! What we’re particularly looking forward to is the Asian Market (11am-3pm) at the Events Centre on the waterfront on Festival Day (Feb 11). The food! The crowds! But mostly the food. Festival day will also sport a parade from Courtenay […]
When’s the last time you stood by the wall hoping that someone would ask you to dance, and then they did, and you put your hands on their shoulders and they put their hands on your waist and you stepped left, and then you stepped right and oh man, it was so exciting, and you […]
Wellingtonian flickr-ites Felicity and Philip were narrowly pipped at the post for first picture of 2006 to hit the American-based mega-site Flickr and the 2006firstpix pool (with their snap [above] of New Years revelries in Civic Square), by Masterton’s curiouskiwi (who has taken enough fine pictures of Wellington to qualify as a local anyway), who […]
I’m sorry, no picture, this is a family site. So I’m striding purposefully along Lambton Quay, minding my own business, head down… Suddenly I am forced to pause for a moment by the unexpected obstruction of what can best be described as somewhat generous cleavage. I look up into the eyes of an absurdly young […]
