'V' once again has a whole host of cool stuff to help you celebrate Big Day Out 2009.
For those of you out there who haven't joined www.vrepublic.co.nz - get to it! It's the best way to get Rock Star status this Friday.
Two Music in Parks series - Drake Jazz at the Rotunda and The Culture Garden - kick off this Sunday at Auckland Domain.
Drake Jazz at the Rotunda is Auckland's longest running annual jazz festival set in the historic Auckland Domain band rotunda.
Auckland, Jan 11 NZPA - Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is drawing crowds to see her fishing exploits as well as her singing.
More than 100 people gathered at Russell wharf in the Bay of Islands to watch the weigh-in of a huge blue marlin she caught in the ocean off Cape Brett on Wednesday.

7 January 2009 - Lazy Weekends, the Garden City's SummerTimes offering of everything restful and gentle in music, will start this Saturday. Slow, leisurely, unhurried, easy. Relaxed, restful.
I had a sneaky read of someone’s C.V. the other day that was lying on the desk in the office. It belonged to a 32 year old male. His record of employment included Rafting Guide, Ski Instructor, Bungee Jumping Jump Assistant, Mountain Biking Guide, Canopy Guide, and Photographer.
I recently read a fantastic book by American author, Taras Grescoe called Bottom Feeder; How To Eat Ethically In A World Of Vanishing Seafood. It worried me to say the least, and though I don’t wish anyone any undue stress I suggest everyone dips into the pages of this book and picks up some sage wisdom. It outlines, as the title suggests, a world in which we have ravaged our oceans to their very limits, and beyond in some cases. It describes the collapses of various fisheries and the areas in the ocean aptly named dead zones. Grescoe details ways in which we can be more informed and ethical in our munching on the bounties of the seas.
