Thank you for organizing the event Russell. I enjoyed the opportunity to see the Wintergarden. I'd never been there before ... what a beautiful room. The collaborations were a really interesting concept.

Hey thanks, Sarah. That's great. It was nice to see you guys there — in a perfect world…

We did a short video story for The Daily English Show. The style may seem odd for PA…

Btw, it was a great night!

You can't go past Ferrero Rocher. Really

Oh Ambassador, you are spoileeeeng uzz.

can't beat Simon on the ones and twos... altered images, inspired!

thanks to all

Did you roll them down the aisles?

Not by choice, but in those days we didn't get a packet each, so there was a good chance they'd all end up on the floor during the fight for the last ones.

Always

Compulsory in small town cinema with sloping wooden floor and two dozen steps before that satisfying final thunk against the front wall

Never! They were dear – aniseed balls, however, were really cheap...

Did you roll them down the aisles?

Always. :)

Yes we can. ;)

Ones that fail to dispel stereotypes about Aucklanders..

Jafas!(also now known in CHCH as just another fukin after shock :)

Remind me not to invite you to the next PAS lolly scramble.

I'd be an ideal invitee, as I wouldn't grab any, so you'd get more for yourself.

I just didn't like seeing my friends scrimmaging around snatching things off the floor is all.

Nah. It was robustly-produced art sold in a robust fashion — although I think I missed the most frenzied period.

I liked the idea of the artists selling work they'd made that day, direct to the customer (we did pay them fees as well). I think they were very happy…

Then later on, standing looking aghast as people scrambled for art, more or less sight unseen. That's not how I like to see art treated, but people will do as they wish.

And where were you, Mr Nicol? I never even saw you.

Right at the back on the left side facing the stage. In chatterer central. Standing sometimes, sitting others.

Great venue, even the loud chatterers…

Aric Sigman at it again report... (sorry guys...)

How could you...I just about lost my lunch! The Daily Mail is probably a suitable home for a fruit-loop such as Aric (which is semiotically close to ache or arse?

I've been meaning to, honest, but Matt had a couple of things he wanted to nail before I showed it to y'all.

No worries. Excited to see it. Vamping is fun, revamping even more so :-)

Neatly matched by Craig's crush on "studmuffin" Karl ;-)

Hey, I'm a sucker for an artist who doesn't look all malnourished and scruffy. Deeply superficial I am.

And I hate to be (slightly) Grinch-y about a thoroughly excellent night, but the acoustics in the Wintergarden are *cough* somewhat challenging and,…

Another highlight of the night: Robyn Gallagher's tweets about the Original Gangsta Bytchyz Annual General Meeting appearing on the big screen.

You know, it started as a bit of a joke, knowing that #ogb tagged tweets were being projected at the event. But after a while, others starting joining in…

I now have a complete girl crush on Emily Perkins.
