Back at work (out at Sockburn Service Centre whilst our building is repaired - crikey!!!). But is has been a good couple of days, with Paul Ellis and Jason Kerrison (Op Shop) coming down from Auckland with one of those ideas that just steam roll into reality. Christchurch is going to have a concert in Hagley Park - for free, with NZ's iconic musicians banding together to help us all let off some of this quake tension and celebrate surviving! How nice is that? Two people who don't even live here are giving this to the city. Its going to be big. Check out the line up in this clip where a certain bureaucrat managed to kind of get in the way...
The PM helped us announce the concert for 23 October (that is his back), at a 'thank you' event for the student army, led by Sam (in the striped shirt), who rallied the student troops via facebook to help the affected communities. One day they had 1000 shovelling. We also gave them 240 Metallica tickets for next Tuesday's sell out gig as a thanks. It was a great affair, with the PM, Mayor and our rock stars signing shovels which will be auctionned off on Trade Me. Best speeches I've heard at a function in a long time. Go the youth!
