Fred and Laura on Tour

Friday, November 3

At last....a post!

No, your eyes do not deceive you, this is indeed a new post from Laura and myself. We have been pretty lax with the the old posts recently as we've been so busy and a bit skint. Firstly, I shall update you on what's currently happening in our lives....

I'm now working for the ANZ bank doing mind numbing work for not a great deal of money. The office is at a good end of town for bars though, and Laura and almost all my mate's work in the same area, so the social side of work is good.

Laura's Mum and Dad are over in New Zealand at the moment and it's been great having them over. Laura has taken 3 weeks off work to take them on a whistle stop tour of NZ. They're currently in the South Island enjoying the scenery and beautiful weather. I wish i was travelling with them.

That's the now, now for the then.......

Wellington has been a confusing city to live in of late, as the days either start off with beautiful sunshine that deteriorates into gale force winds and rain, or vice versa. At the moment the weather is beautiful so hopefully we'll get a couple of games of football this weekend.

I've met 3 other scottish guys to booze and play football with, in that order, so we have a wee scottish contingent now that is getting well known around Wellington. We actually all met when we tried to watch the Scotland v France game but couldn't as the tv guide got it wrong. So we did what any other scottish fans would do on a nice sunny day….went and got hammered in beer gardens all day long, getting sunburnt for our troubles. Great day though.

Watched a lot of films recently and am currently going through a western phase. Saw Talledega Nights the other week and it is hilarious….roll on Borat!

Since we last posted I've also tried to sneak into a nightclub that Peter Hook (New order) was dj-ing at, we had to climb out a mate's window and scale the roofs of some shops and then onto the balcony of the club but someone grassed us up to the barman and we got turfed out of the club without seeing Hooky.

We've been for a drive up the Kapiti Coast for Sally's birthday, encountering a human hamster wheel and one of the best adventure parks ever....fear not, there are photos that will follow at a later date.

There is a lot more we've been up to and Laura will update you all on her side of things when she posts on her return to Welli. We're still having the best time out here and are still in the flat, so for those of you that have the flat number, feel free to give us a buzz......just remember the time difference is now 13 hours! Otherwise just drop one of us an email, always good to hear your news. Thanks to those who have phoned, has been great hearing from you.

Also, Happy Birthday to all of you that have become a year older recently, I'll be joining that club in a months time so feel free to send cards/presents/money over!

Take care, and we'll post some photos soon, promise.

Love Fraser and Laura x

  • Horray! A friday afternoon treat, two new posts to read from my NZ buddies. Always good to hear of high jinx escapades in clubs. I'm liking the whole fragmented form too, it's like I'm in the modernism class all over again...

  • Hi! Sorry to barge into your blog like this. I'm actually here on a mission. I’m a big fan of The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang, having seen it recently myself, and I work for a fansite that has been keeping track of the progress of the movie since the very beginning, and some of the things we keep track of are the reviews from audience members who’ve seen the film at festivals. Well, your blog came up in one of my searches for SDG news, and I can see by your review that you really enjoyed the film.

    So, I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind helping the movie out? The director of the film mentioned at the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, that SDG is in trouble of never being theatrically released. To remedy this, a petition was created by fans to show support for the film. Please sign the petition, and tell your friends to sign it:

    http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SDGinTheaters

    Also, a unofficial myspace was created for the film, and it includes behind the scenes photos, clips, and other extras. If you have a myspace please friend it, and please tell your friends to friend it:

    http://www.myspace.com/thesasquatchdumplinggang

    Leave them a comment to let them know you’ve seen the movie, and enjoyed it.

    It’s important that we convince Sony BMG to put this movie into theaters, because it deserves to be seen on the big-screen, and not shafted to DVD, and forgotten about.

    Thanks for reading, and spread the love for this movie! ^___^

  • Sneaking intoa club to see Peter Hook? Two words for you mate... Martin Fradley!

    Good to hear from you guys, was beginning to think you were having far too much fun and had forgotten about us all!

    Anyway, I've got to go right now because someone has just appeared at the office door to install a new pc, hurrah!!!

  • Bryan it is actually 13 hours difference you fool. Cheers for the comments guys amd check out the websites Maria has suggested as it would be a crime if Sasquatch Dumpling Gang is not released.
