Well, I'm writing in sunny ChCh from an internet cafe so this will be brief. We arrived by plane on Thurs. That night I stayed with a school friend and we sipped a few wines (ick) while watching Ryan on late evening news - quite a long piece in the end so v. hopeful that the band is getting out there a bit, despite only having one budget music vid. We spent yesterday driving around the city, filming ourselves on Hi-8 (oh the out-of-date technology - it isn't even old enough to be cool like super-8) - we are budget enough that we will prob try to make another music vid out of the footage. All the others kept being reminded of the Brunettes tour of the US and went on about it endlessly, so I was glad when Mark arrived and I was able to talk about staying home and doing nothing of note (oh, except winning the montana award ... have I mentioned that enough times yet?)

We did a live-to-air in the morning, complete with cocktails and actors weirdos in the studios. Pretty terrible, but the gig in the evening was reasonable. A decent-sized crowd who I think we won over in the end, incl Hat from RDU so I guess we have made some inroads in the town.

Today we are driving to Dunedin. Ironic since we spent our free day yesterday driving around. Though the ex-brunettes tour bunnies just think I'm a wuss!
