Exhibition News

First off, the balls-suckage known as Armageddon Plop-Culture Exposition is on this weak end, here in Wellington. I've read a brochure, and naturally what I saw... you probably already know.

Far more interesting will be what's happening in Aro St:

1. there's an exhibition of local comics, and sales of same, at the Ron Barber Gallery (91 Aro) which opens 5pm this Friday, and runs 10-5 Saturday and Sunday.


2. Down the road at the Aro Valley Community Centre, there will be talks delivered by Dylan Horrocks and Darren Schroeder at 4pm, followed by the Black River Digital Comics Awards at 7pm.

To get there, the quickest way is to go south along Willis Street. The street starts between the Old BNZ building and the new BNZ one (now owned by state, and enshrined in a book of NZ slang as "Darth Vader's dunny") and goes south. Just keep plugging down, and Aro is the next right (west) after Abel Smith St and before Webb (which has lights and goes left (east.) The gallery's on the left-hand side as you go up Aro, and if you reach the Four Square, you've gone too far.

Me... I've nothing prepared, except a Word document for making E Motel business cards, and some coloured card from the $2 Shop. So on Friday I'll probably roll up with a stack of those and drop 'em off. I could try making a quick 8-page booklet from the "Alien Review" (c. Jan. three years ago), but cards'll do the job just as effectively.

I'll try to take a few snaps as well. I mean, blimey! I could be going in and out of town like a yo-yo...
