besides, I'm sure there's something in the treaty about hogging toanga.

any other treasures hiding in your cupboard then?

and hotdamn, but the Features are timeless. looking forward to the album.

so am I. The tapes sat in my storage space for 25 years and it was a problem to transfer as the old Harlequin Studios 8 track and anything like it are long gone.

4 of the ten…

prop of the night, the german helmet.

tracks of the night, First in Line and Suicide II.

Turned out the reason I was so tired was…

My fav for the evening would have to go to Proud Scum with Spelling Mistakes coming in second.

Mine was Nick from the Spelling Mistakes, although Proud Scum doing the Sex Pistols, and Scavengers tied for a close second...

I was a bit young so never saw any of them…

Agreed
Here's a couple...

The shades were necessary as it got dark about 9 and any pre meet/drinks before required them, as you do. Man, there was a lot of Docs. I couldn't decide which of mine to wear. My choice is green, black ox blood and Stewart tartan which…

There was definitely a bit of grey but all good

Agreed

Here's a couple known to a few PAers looking a wee bit grayer but all the better for it

My head hurts a wee bit.....

I've had a swag of photos sent thru or Facebooked to me. Most of my old comrades in arms are looking a bit grey around the edges. It kinda hits you when you don't see them daily as you used to.

Also, is it wrong of me to want that house with a fiery passion? I mean, I really really want it.

Me too. I want that pond under the stairs.

Danielle, Jackie, I'm seeing this as the future marital home – whaddya reckon?

right, that's three. we offically have a crowd.

Say hello from me..I know one or two who are going ;)

Tomorrow night.

Brilliant! You telling me you didn't all rehearse that skit.. :)

hands up who's off to the AK79 gig.

see you there, you'll be happy I've decided not to wear the tartan mini skirt with safety pins...

Oh, and Russell thanks for the heads up on the Sola Rosa download – that's more my taste these days...

Say hi to Nick Spelling Mistake from Pete & Jo in nelson!

See you there! I'm off to dig out my Docs from some dingy hiding place at the back of my wardrobe (oh – and some earplugs!)

now, where's me coat?

punk roolz, OK?

now, where's me spray paint...and me hair dye...and me glue...oooo, me gammy knee.

"...the result is an overstuffed maelstrom that makes all the punk dolts scoff. His ambition is noble, yet wildly unrealistic. It's like if Jeff Lynne tried to make Out Of The Blue sound more like Fun House, except with jazz drumming and a girl singer from Motown."

Frightening. I've hated…

"Reviewing Chinese Democracy is not like reviewing music. It's more like reviewing a unicorn."

I feel for you Auckland punters having to make do with groups like those Smiths copyists Cut of Your Fingers.

We sooo spoilt for choice down here in Wellington.

And that bathroom! You'd just have to sit down and... powder things.

While listening to what I believe is an... inbuilt radio and/or intercom above the toilet roll holder? Aqua, naturally.

I know, right? That built-in orange vinyl bar has me actually drooling like Homer Simpson.

I think I had a teeny tiny heart attack. And that bathroom! You'd just have to sit down and... powder things.

I'd kill for that office.

My father had that exact same desk, in about…

The only thing not 1970's about this house is the price

That the place in Lower Hutt? It's been on the market a long time, I think that link got circulated around the Wellingtonista some months ago.

I know, right? That built-in orange vinyl bar has me actually drooling like Homer Simpson.

It's perfect beyond belief. Maybe we could have a whip round? The PAS party pad...

That is absolutely stunning.

Also, is it wrong of me to want that house with a fiery passion? I mean, I really really want it. (Apart from the lounge suite. But I would keep everything else!)

The only thing not 1970's about this house is the price. Remarkable snapshot in time.

That is absolutely stunning. Change the horrible velvet couches for some good '60s ones more in keeping with the other furniture (formica, lip chairs etc...) and the place would be perfect.

I'd kill for that…

American "humour"

Gah.

The only thing not 1970's about this house is the price. Remarkable snapshot in time.

I recommend the full tour slide show to truly appreciate this flashback.

You can download the whole show via itunes…

But I'm such a dude...

Regarding this whole dude thing, I hope you're channelling The Big Lebowski or Bill & Ted rather than Ashton Kucher and his missing car.

Dude! Stuff! Cool!
