On The Road

The five of us squeezed into Sabrina's car today and headed north to Leigh (Nikki's performing her Phat Grrrl Revolution there on March 13th). We took the scenic route and did a postering run on the way.


Here's us in a great little park at the back of the Albany shops.

































This is us....in Orewa....but not us at all.

Had an awesome time in Warkworth by the river, and Matakana is a cool little town - hadn't been there before, strange how things can be right there all the time but it takes someone from somewhere else to come along before you get there. Matakana has invisible killer eels. And a very beautiful movie theatre - or so Christian tells me, I didn't actually get to go in.


It was so easy putting posters up in these towns. In Auckland you get turned down by the vast majority of business owners - who want their windows for only head-office approved promotional displays. Every single place we asked to put a poster up, put a poster up. One lady put up two.


And driving along the coast and through our rolling hills reminds me yet again why I dig living in New Zealand.


We wound up in Leigh, where we went and checked out the venue for Nikki's gig on the 13th - the Sawmill....


...and had a play on the swings....
















...and stood in front of the brick corrugated iron boat....

















All round a great day, heaps done, something written together even, well sort of written, something found together, arranged together. We have decided to make a programme for GROWL and have stitched together lines from every piece in the show. Anyway, the others just left a little while ago and it is time for me to sit still like a vegetable and absorb good bad TV by osmosis.
