Country of nice, according to Teej

elliot — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:02:18 +0000

This blog plugged the Kinoo t-shirts the other day. They talk about the word ‘nice’ being a synonym for New Zealand, the country of niceness. Its pretty funny and worth reading.

Its time for a BBQ…

elliot — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:38:14 +0000

No better way to kick start the summer by having a gold old barbie in your backyard. Join sideroom and friends for their 4th birthday at The Kings Arms in Auckland this Sunday… see you there. Its worth it just to witness a set by Tommy Flowers (we still miss his breakfast show)

And if you haven’t already checked them out the new sideroom organic tees just arrived yesterday.

Skate Cards from Germany

elliot — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:40:38 +0000

European markets are a great place to find goodies like this pack of skate cards. A Friend discovered these in Germany. Bring back game cards… especially pre-2000 skateboarding ones, and mustard yellow t-shirts.

We look forward to trying some of these moves this summer… after a few beers of course!

Rob Tucker in Wellington

elliot — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:20:42 +0000

We are lucky enough to have one of Rob Tuckers first works from his ” My Trip Through Belmont Show” in 2007 hanging on the wall. This 21 year old artist from Auckland is proving to be one of NZ’s next big names. No stencils, no digital artwork, just good old paint and board.

So all you lucky Wellingtonians get on down to Smyth Gallery and soak up some fresh kiwi art. Its Rob’s first Wellington exhibition.

9D exhibition

elliot — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:03:25 +0000

We were lucky enough to check out the 9D Design Collective exhibition last Friday. Some final year design students from AUT got together to form 9D as a way to showcase their final year projects.

Some pics below of our favourite project by Andy Bamford. Andy had produced an illustrated video on how to beat match two vinyl records. We could have watched it over and over. Smoothly edited and it had some mean Dub Step booming under foot too.

Keep an eye these budding new creatives…

50 ways to help

elliot — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 23:08:54 +0000

Our two favourites are…. whats yours?

Our friend Anthony sent us this in the weekend. What a cool way to cheaply and easily get people moving towards a greener lifestyle. Now that the Greens are out and the new government is anti-Kyoto it is up to us to keep NZ beautiful. We started today trying not to talk about politics but we just can’t help it as we feel passionate about our piece of paradise. Cross your fingers our nations image does not get green washed any further (e.g. 100% Pure), leaving it for future generations to worry about.
