Eavesdrop Listening Party!!!!

There are a few things that I have to give to Auckland. One of them is Eavesdrop. Wandering along, mid week, to attend the Wine Cellar was always a favourite.
Yes mustering up the spirit after a booze-fuelled weekend was sometimes hard, but alas upon arrival memories of migraines and stomach pains disappeared entirely.
Wellington you're swell and I promise I won't be leaving you, but to be honest, in the mid week department, you really don't pull through.
No I don't want to party, I want to sit, and I still want to chatter, listen to music and have a glass of wine...or two...
For all you lucky souls still residing in the City of Sails I suggest you head along this Wednesday. You get to listen to new music, hang out with your friends, play scrabble, eat cheese, win prizes...
I mean really.... why wouldn't you?

my idea of heaven


... you walk into a room and take a deep breath of gin and tonic. Seriously, if someone could start pumping atomized gin and lime through the air conditioner at my work for me? I'd be less of a bitch. In fact, I'd be downright delightful.

Bompass & Parr are English jelly specialists and creators of culinary events.... and they are currently holding a sold out event in London in which an old store front has been turned into "alcoholic architecture".... seriously, a room full of gin-laden fog.

I know, I know! it's sold out! and it's in London! but don't you just love new ideas? Their past events look intriguing as well, how about "scratch-and-sniff cinema"? which might be so-so if the film was say Chocolat but Peter Greenaway's The Cook, The Theif, His Wife and Her Lover with smells of 'dusty books' and 'rotting meat' .... brilliant.

p.s. If you haven't seen that movie. Rent it immediately.
