Friday night drinks? Meet me at:
Well, I'm new to Auckland and haven't had much time to have Friday night drinks but Chapel is pretty good on a Friday afternoon in the sun, so I'm sure it's pretty similar a few hours later.
Where I'll be wearing my new:
High-top
Puma kicks or my Palladium boots.
And this weekend I'm planning on:
Rehearsing for Gagarin Way Saturday afternoon, then enjoying the sun with a few friends for the rest of it.
But first I'll need to refuel at my favourite cafe:
Queenies Lunchroom in Freemans Bay.
Saturday evening. If my dreams came true there would be a gig by:
The Beatles' - their first gig at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, or the full line-up of the original We are the World song, Michael Jackson included.
But if there's nothing else doing I'll probably just:
Go to the movies or hire something and have a quiet night in.
On my stereo/headphones right now is:
Crazy? Yes. Dumb? No! by the Mint Chicks.
The books I can't put down are:
Michael Caine's first bio, What's It All About?, and a book about football, radicalism and riots in Scotland (as research for Gagarin Way).
The TV show I take the phone off the hook for:
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution or, uh, The X Factor.
The movie I've been dying to see:
Four Lions. A comedy about some not-so-good-at-it jihadi terrorists living in England.
A non-cooking Monday night means takeaways from:
Japa Deli on Anzac Ave.
Or a splash-out Wednesday night restaurant would be:
Japa Deli ... I'm addicted to the place.
