while you can! Its getting cold outside, but the Pit bar is the
cosiest little bar in Wellington! The new heat pump is amazing...

The great new NZ plays] The second play we have a double pass for
is Hearts Encoded, a virtual love story. Since it's all about
computers simply tell me your favourite computer game ever to go
in the draw. I'm not a big gamer myself, but I did almost fail
Year 11 because of an unhealthy addiction to The Sims...

Congrats to last weeks winner Denise Brennock who will be joining
us for the world premiere of For Johnny. Congrats!
