things to do Archives - The Wellingtonista

August 6, 2007

It’s a busy week in Wellington, so we hope you’ve got your hangover cures sorted.

Monday is Hustle for Autism at the SFBH – you can read more details about it over at Public Address. We think you should go along, some of us will be there if you needed any further prompting.
Tuesday is the Wellingtonista Quiz League. This time we’ll be playing at JJ Murphy’s in Cuba Mall, which apparently starts at 7.30, so make sure you get there early to secure a table, and see if you can beat us (you probably can’t).
Wednesday is Gadgets, Games & Geeks 07 at the Michael Fowler Centre. To quote their blurb:

Join us for one whopping great big geeky networking fest. Hear and network with some awesome speakers and exhibitors who are passionate about their gadgets, games and geek status.

And it is heavily implied that there will be free drinks – which are two of the Wellingtonista’s favourite words. See you there then?

Wanting to stalk us this weekend, and/or find something for yourself to do? Here are our suggestions:

Since Hadyn likes the poster, it’s probably well worth checking out Wellingtonista’s favourite man-bear, Sam Flynn Scott with Lawrence Arabia at the San Francisco Bathhouse tonight. I know that’s what I’ll be doing anyway.
If you’re looking to head out for drinks tonight, why not try some amari?
See if we’re capable of being drunk and articulate at the same time at on Public Address Radio broadcast on Radio Live at 2pm on Saturday.
It’s the last days of the A Human Touch: Design by Droog exhibition at the New Dowse, so why not see if it really does “trigger questions, spark discussion and elicit giggles”?
The Country Club will be doing Brazil tomorrow night. Expect caipirinhas, samba, soccer, feijoada and no doubt Brazillian porn.
We went to the last opening and had a (drunken) blast, so we can recommend pretty clothing & accessories shop Modern Love’s opening for its new premises in Left Bank at 2pm on Sunday. If you need an added incentive, there will be cup cakes and the Real Hot Bitches!
Of course, if you’re not heading out of town to wrestle pigs, or bask in your well-deserved fame, and you feel like something a little more family-friendly, you could always do some home etomology, go see Bad Jelly the Witch, work on your screen-printing or catch up on some Vonnegut.
