Tim Wilson talks to Rhys Darby.

Auckland Writers’ and Readers’ festival. 2012.

*Image uploaded with help from our friends, and a great deal of thinking, with all our minds, about Rhys Darby in a 4 piece suit.

 

Rhys Darby is funny.

At least that's what Tim Wilson tells us a number of times throughout the one hour Writers and Readers hour with Darby. It began to seem as though Wilson was conce [ ... ]

Maurice Gee talks to Geoff Walker.

Auckland Writers' and Readers' Festival. 2012.

The self-effacing Gee appeared on Sunday evening at his first public even [ ... ]

PEPE DELUXE - QUEEN OF THE WAVE ALBUM REVIEW

Espresso coffee is consumed a fair bit at Depot Sound, strong and sugar-less. There's something to be said about the increase in productivity one experiences after finishing a caffeine-fueled brew so I have tried to maintain a pre-work morning coffee ritual, however I was recently somewhat surprised to learn the country with the highest coffee consumption per capita is  [ ... ]

Fair Trade Fortnight

5-20 May 2012

Having the great fortune to be in the employment of a Fair Trade Workplace (The glorious Depot), I found myself at the Auckland Fair Trade Breakfast at the Britomart Country Club in the autumnal chilliness of the morning. Surrounded by fellow Fair Trade aficionados munching on Kokako’s moist and delicious banana cakes, muesli and All Good bananas I listened delightedly to  [ ... ]

We arrived home from Europe penniless, relatively jobless, and homeless for a month. But spring was in the air, and we had a new project to plan, not to mention announce. All in all, people didn’t think getting married was bad idea in the least, and we were pleasantly surprised at the lack of awkward moments, doubtful looks or heeds of caution from near and dear. The only dubious moment was when our friend Hale [ ... ]

Joy and loveliness, and splendiferously creative fare, and engine oil, and toasty fire, and delightful curios, and friendly casual but attentive service, and glorious bathrooms!


Ahh, what a marvellous melding of these elements is to be found at York St Mechanics in Newmarket.  I’ve been here a few times before and loved the food; all glorious [ ... ]

Rooftop space is an under-utilised resource in Auckland.  In my last year of university, one of my assignments looked at allowing rooftop space to be used for agricultural purposes. The project involved retrofitting large flat roofs (usually old industrial buildings) so they were strong enough and water-tight enough to support large crops of veges and the occasional b [ ... ]

The day before our three year anniversary, Josca and I had been travelling in Europe for just over two months. We were in Visby, a beautiful medieval city on the island of Gotland, smack in the middle of Medeltidsveckan, the annual festival of all things Middle Ages.The sun was sinking, caramelising the stone of city walls. The iconic roses of the city were burnished a bright blood red. Warmed and contented by  [ ... ]
