One month until #T4WA!

Ooooh boy, we are very excit­ed lit­tle pup­pies inside the Welling­ton­ista Tow­ers today because it’s exact­ly one month until the Fourth Annu­al Welling­ton­ista Awards (or the TAWAs for short, and specif­i­cal­ly #T4WA on twit­ter).

Nom­i­na­tions will start appear­ing this week so you can go and check out who we’re rec­om­mend­ing, and then vot­ing will be open from Decem­ber 1–14. 

On the night of Decem­ber 17, you’ll want to get your ass down to Mighty Mighty, pay your $10 on the door, and let the good times begin. The awards pre­sen­ta­tion should be hap­pen­ing around 7.30pm, and then at 9.30pm we are very excit­ed to have the Klezmer Rebs play­ing tunes for us all to shake our tuchas­s­es to!

If you’d like to help us make the night even more awe­some by pro­vid­ing good­ies for give­aways to our love­ly read­ers, flick me an email — johubris at gmail. 

And if you’re feel­ing nos­tal­gic or you did­n’t man­age to make it along last year, relive the Third Annu­al Welling­ton­istas event here.
