  • Mike,

    Yes the ZM MC was a little out of her element. Her introduction for the Bats came across as a justification for their inclusion on the bill. Clearly she, or ZM assumed that the crowd would have no idea who they were.It was a fun day though.

    In Bats-related trivia, there was a lovely moment during Jens Lekman's recent set opening for Joanna Newsom in Christchurch: aware he was in the Bats' home town, he told his audience he wished he had something as brilliant and simple -- not his exact words, but close enough -- as "Block of Wood".

  • AllanM,

    I am a little surprised that Parnell Baths were open on Sunday, given the

    fauxnami.

    Still, Parnell Baths are one of the first things I discovered in Auckland when I moved here 10 years ago.

    Bit obvious I guess. Well, more than a bit, but hey, it's Friday...

    Sychronised wading

    I'm assuming you mean Synchronised.... :- )
    Sychronised sounds like a portmanteau word
    mixing psycho crones ...and believe they are usually dunked at the end of long poles...
    a puritanical synch or swim scenario...

  • Allan Bollard,

    Parnell Baths closed for about 2 hours, 10-12. It was surreal seeing it at 11am, good enough to drink, and deserted.
