So so much. If Auckland wasn't so cliquey then there would be half as many gigs and twice as many people. Maybe i should join a clique so i would know where to bloody go!

I think everywhere's cliquey - I know Dunedin is. I think the key is to get involved in one of those uber-cliques, the synergised merged ones that do print, sound and video media.

Like Sony.

I hate it how nothing good happens and then everything happens on the same night so I'm crippled with indecision and still end up staying home. On Friday, my friend's having a party and though she's missed my parties to go to gigs recently, I'm going to be good and go to hers. Otherwise I'd be at the Good Work like a shot.

Well, they were vaguely work-related gigs, so I forgave her (plus it's nice to hear stories afterwards about her throwing up in front of The Datsuns). And I don't see Pluto or the Midnights breaking up any time soon, so there'll be many more oppotunities to see them later (I hope).

blah fucking blah dribble drabble dribble.
complain complain about the state of the gig guide when "nothing" is on - and then complain complain when "there is too much on"

it's the way it should be.

It's a bit weird for bands cause you have that little chill out room off to the side, but we have some ideas. He did us a deal on that room 1/2 price which was pretty nice of him especially as it comes with a big pa foldback and 10 mikes. Worst thing about it is there's no walk in crowd.
