MMMM Wendys. Dude you're so on it.

Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kremes soon I hear. grr.
Umm, we have Dominos.

aucklands just filled with arseholes!!! even glorious Wnedy's workers are arseholes!

...ahhhh, square burger patties heft mere mmmmmmm

I still like Wellies better. I've tried Auckland, HATED the bloody motorway. There are some cool cafe's though. Solid 6/10, nice effort 'n all that...

I played in Wellie recently, had a great time there. Cool people, great venues. But what's with getting
something decent to eat after hours in the city? maybe I just wasn't in the 'know' enough. I suspect there may be some Aunty Wendy jealousy goin' on. Oh.. and enough of the garnish on the omlettes.
Hi, I'll have a parsley and corriander omlette please, oh go on then, throw some egg in too.

//aucklands just filled with arseholes!!! even glorious Wnedy's workers are arseholes!

Jesus! That's a fine advertisement for the "other" parts of NZ - especially wherever it is you're from, dumbass.

How is American fast food going to be a selling point ? Id trade you all the fucking Wendy's, doughnuts, Burger king, Carls jr or whatever for a steak/cheese pie and a bottle of red at the Swan.
If you can find work head south.

Mmmm .... Wellington food memories ....

The best burger I ever ate I got in the welly region ... Upper Hutt to be precise ... damned if I can remember the name of the place now .... it was on Ferguson Drive, not to far from St Pats as I recall. They made absolutely the worlds bestest burgers. The missus and I used to treat ourselves to one whenever we managed to get rid of the boys for a day or two ...

Probably gone now ... been a while since I cruised Fergusson Drive.

Hey Leonard, next time you're in Wellington at 3am I'll take you to King Kebab on Cuba Street- just up the road from Indigo, around the corner from Valve. There's these freaky twins who run the place. Good food though. And then you've got Midnights across the road, but I think they close at 3am... nothing like a flat white and one of those yummy caramel slices to finish a night off- provided you can still get to sleep afterwards...

Aha, I will take you up on that offer.

who are they

Check out their website:

http://www.sommerset.co.nz

You ought to find sufficient live music that takes your fancy at the King's Arms and the Dog's Bollix, provided you're over 18, of course... and once you get to the KA, you'll no doubt spot a bunch of people (in varying degrees of Odd) milling about in a corner snorting tequila. All we need is a giant pink neon sign saying "NZMUSIC.COM NET GEEKS THIS WAY". We're working on that.

I'm not ashamed to say this site is a bloody good way of making friends, so write some stuff and listen to some mp3s.

yep we'll look after you

muahahahaaaaa!!!

*prepares tequila mainline*

anyway.......drop me a line....especially if you are a fan of joy division

Prefer the Smiths personally, however it's all cool. Do you maen the new style Hardcore/emo/thrash Joy Division you don't hear much about? :)

the new style joy division - don't you mean interpol?

Ah, yes, however less suicidal.

thanks leonard somehow you have inspired me to go to real groovy right now

Well, I do try. Get the new My Morning Jacket and Leonard albums while you're there.
Good stuff.

i'm still waiting to see the new leonard wideo! heh

Umm, I guess it will be on C4 soon, most wanted sometimes plays it. I dunno.

joy division are the greatest, ian curtis was a genius, have you read touching from a distance? a bit biased in the respect that it's written by his embittered wife and tends to focus more on how she was having a rotten time, rather than how he tapped such remarkable creativity so young ... a case of too much too young i guess, he must have felt a lot of weight on his shoulders

When I first got 'Closer' I listened to it a couple of times. One lyric stuck out, can’t remember which, but I promptly stopped the track and haven’t listened to Joy Division since. Too depressing.

True, Ryder and his bro are loose, still are!

Speaking of never listening to Joy division again,you guys seen that flick 24hr party people ? its pretty cool goes into the whole "factory" scene. Joy division, Happy mondays, birth of DJ / club culture etc etc.
The scene with the pidgeons is too funny (not that I support that kind of thing mind you hahaha).

well, what if im almost 22....am i getting too old!!??

Perfect.

Well, welcome to NZ. What part of the States are you from?

Yes Welcome to NZ!

auckland is only good around january the rest of the time its kinda of a drag anyway everyone knows that the best NZ bands come from christchurch i.e Cripple Mr. onion

Really? How so? Cripple Mr. Onion?

CMO really do get let down by their dumb fuck fans.

Well...It's only one really...

Auckland? You might want to check out the North Shore. I hear that is just like Beverly Hills 90210.

only south of milford...

more like Durban hills, or perhaps Cape town 90210.
