Yeap, we're still working on it. Actually, since it's not winter any more we'll be getting another wardrobe. It looks really cool. See you in the summer!

Has Bar Mode in Palm. Nth closed down?

Turns out Tane got his license revoked... The news article is a scream, although the police officer seems a bit munter.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/2422577/Troubled-bar-slapp...

//In a decision released this week, a police officer described Bar Mode as the worst-managed premise she had seen in her 16-year career, and a supporter admitted Mr McLeay was "not the best businessman".//

//Constable Gina Atkinson said she could not understand how Mr McLeay could simultaneously serve at the bar, prepare food, provide security, check identification and fulfil his managerial obligations.//

The cops need to recruit more people with life experience...
