Stubs: # 268 – Puss In Boots, Wellington, 2018
We’ve always enjoyed the pantomime at Circa – right back to when we went as adults without a kid (admittedly because a friend had a starring role, but we loved it). In recent years it’s been a great night of family entertainment and maybe we reached the peak with this performance – 2018’s season of […]Archive

Stubs: # 250 – Hawks vs. Huskies, Napier, 2019
Over the last few years I’ve got back into basketball – at first casually, and then with a lot more interest – even buying a ball and going back to shooting hoops and obviously I’m currently bereft because there’s not only no live basketball to get to (or watch on TV) but also I’ve finished […]Archive

Stubs: # 237 – Star Wars A New Hope In Concert w/ NZSO, Wellington, 2018
That’s right, it was the first Star Wars film aka Episode IV with the NZSO live in concert. You sat and watched the film on the big screen with a giant orchestra – our biggest and best-known covers band – playing the score live. There were moments. But I didn’t really like it. I was, […]Archive

Stubs: # 230 – Waiheke Island, Auckland, 2019
It took until 2019 for me to visit Waiheke Island. For some odd reason I’ve kept the ferry ticket stub…hang on, I say some odd reason…what I mean was: This was an amazing holiday! My brother owns a house on the island – and finally we organised the time to go there, which meant flying […]Archive

Stubs: # 224 – Cigna Saints, Wellington, 2019
I had a really great chat with a Facebook friend the other day. We had never met. But he recognised me and got chatting about things I’d written and from there we had a huge conversation about the arts and culture and content and contributing and how being an audience member, a consumer, is part of the […]Archive
