I am mighty excited about the Cuba Street Carnival this Saturday. Many music acts! Random chaos everywhere! People not cars on the city streets!
Curious how this follows so closely on from the Rugby Sevens tournament, which is the other Wellington ‘Carnival’. The notion of a combination of the two fascinates me; I can’t decide if they’d cancel each other out or kick off an exponential positive feedback loop.
I am in the midst of novel-writing so I shall not linger. Instead, I direct you all to WellUrban‘s post about it, which is full of goodness and much better-informed than me.
By the by, I mentioned seeing Strike perform earlier in the week. During the interview bit they said they would play during the Carnival, but I can’t find any evidence of this on the Carnival website. Anyone know the truth of the matter? They were incredible and it would be great to see them again.

Apologies, I have no intelligence on the Strike front (Doye. I live in England!). But make sure you check out So So Modern at the Carinval. You may think they sound like a squirrel having a colonoscopy, but what the heck….
SSM are already on my list 🙂 Real keen. Their Fringe show Octophonic is apparently awesome too.
SSM are about to hoon around the US so you’d best check’em out before they hit the big time over there. 🙂
Er, So So Modern do not have a show named Octophonic in the fringe. Spartacus R do. I am an idiot. The end.
Strike turned out to be playing in the parade, as well.
