Panelbeater music, both of them. Still.

The only time I went to a multi-day festival, we popped home for a shower. That was wimpy, right?
Dearie, dearie me. And you took anti-bacterial hand-wipes too?

Not with the windows open. But my 57 beetle did have mushrooms growing in it.
Hah! Organic mushrooms naturally.

At my first Sweetwaters I had too many shells of kava (having been gleefully urged on by one of the Androidss)
Androids: always trouble.

mixed shower -
They were vile. I either stunk or swam in preference to the showers.

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Joe Wylie,
It's Ring's sly hints at unearned mana that makes him more contemptible
String him up I say (greenie lefties can be rednecks too.) I have friends who left this city in terror because of another set of charlatans. The dodgy seers and the paw-reader are malevolently mischievious and prey on the fragile.

I walked around the front of Alice's by the old front door on Friday dusk.Seeing the old Cotter's building across the road surviving while all around is nothing was surreal, like a movie set. Another 'wish I had the bloody camera moment'. I'll capture it one good sunset this week (if Gudrun doesn't get there first!).

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Nora Leggs,
luckily hard evidence isn’t necessary for touching hearts, for sparking imagination and connecting people – the things that keep our lives balanced : )
Well put Nora.
Hard evidence is also not to be mistaken for the punting-on-the-Avon schmaltz being peddled as Christchurch history; a MacHistory that confuses sentiment with emotion while somehow ignoring the near 800 years of human settlement here in favour of a mere century and a half of little England.
It will indeed be interesting to see the demographic changes (age, cultural identity, nationalities of residents settlement patterns etc) wrought by the earthquakes. I see that happening already and find it a more fascinating prospect than the physical rebuild. Rewriting our history, recasting our city.
