Kia ora. =D
Okay there's an election coming up (17th September) so I thought I'd run a gig! It's at Valve, Friday 16th September, the night before the election; hopefully we'll get someone from NORML and the Green Party to come and do some ranting etc.
Does your band want to participate? It'd be cool to have five-ish bands on the night, hopefully showing a cross-culture of Welly talent. Confirmed are Idle Faction and The Body Corporate from Auckland.
For those of you who haven't played at one of my gigs before, I organise everything properly, top postering campaign, radio exposure, wicked lighting, stage and venue decorating, great sound and pro sound engineer, actual sound checks, visuals, the works. This is going to be a rocking gig. /m/

i've decided i'm against legalising cannabis, not because i think its bad (it's rather good stuff on the right occasion), but because of all the fucking annoying drug culture that goes with it.
all these twenty somethings in ponchos sniggering because something 'looks' like a bong, all those t-shirts with cannabis leaves on them. etc etc
would be nice if people could just smoke the stuff and have a good time getting fucked up without buying into all this cheesy cosmic corner bullshit, the guy that runs those shops must be the richest hippy around.

of course i'll probably end up showing up to the gig anyway, because overall its a good idea to at least decriminalize - waaaaaay better than everyone drinking alcohol all the time. . . .

Damn straight. the thing that really gets me are those cheap posters of an alien smoking a doobie. However, theres nothing better than getting baked then lying back with a few boxes of N2O and listening to a few of your favourite albums I gotta say.

Argh! Ooops... my appologies Mr Strip - even though I play in 4+ bands I'm terrible for actually knowing anything about any other artists!
Having said that I'm still looking forward to playing with YOU!

Okay the lineup is finalised!!
* Amy Racecar (Hamilton)
* The Body Corporate (Auckland)
* Idle Faction
* Cop Car
* Dragstrip
* Alabaster Theatre
* Libra Accord
If anyone would like to lend a hand, we could use help in the following areas:
* poster printing - do you work for a govt dept and can get free A3 printing after hours? do you know anyone who's an architect and could get large format printing cheap?
* lighting - do you know anyone who hires lights, works in theatre, owns a bubble machine etc etc etc and can you score it for cheap/free for the night?

The Green party has shot up the polls (6.6% according to Herald, 8% by NBR's count). This is good for you leagalisers. I totally support the softening of drug laws but I am way more interested in other things the greens can do for NZ in terms of energy and health.... so lets keep those party vots coming boys and girls (I'm gonna get in trouble with the christian right nzmusic posters again! Doh!)

Personally I think the law is too soft, anyone who votes for any party on the issue of legalisation/decriminalisation should have their right to vote withdrawn.
Actually raising the voting age to 35 would be a much simplier idea, with a cut off at 50, ie only people between 35 and 50 can vote...
I fully agree! Absolutely!...

I'm with Mr Rider.
And I think that anyone who supports a tax cut which will give rich people a bigger cut than the poor people who need it, then they are fools... and I hope that the rest of NZ votes differently than them.

Well technically a tax cut is always going to benefit the rich more than the poor - but I'm pretty sure we all understand what you mean...
It's interesting actually recently the Green party have been steering away from their legalise cannabis policy and focusing on other areas... as is I think it needs to be de-criminalised for users as opposed to legalised.
Just for Sic - though I wouldn't mind seeing a change in voter eligibility I would prefer to see some sort of breeding (child) license brought in more.

I loved the sub headline that the Dom Post had the other day - it was something like "National Policy would benefit the well-off the most" - it's like "Newspaper Sub Editor states the obvious".

Yes, that's forward thinking. And it could be applied initially in certain low gene pools.
