Relating to Penelope Scott songs so much is pretty antithetical to my attempts to be just a silly little guy.

LADEDA 2014 - a new cultural tradition that never happened...

2014. Well, actually, 2013 this proposal went to Council. 10 years ago!

A very excited Council… then the wheels fell off when the administration couldn’t see the “value” in the event.

Creative Director on this was Philip McDougall. At the time Philip was EVP Creative in New York for the prestigious Experiential Company Jack Morton Worldwide & was rebranding San Francisco Bay Area in preparation for Super Bowl. He had been Creative on some of the largest broadcast events of the new century including Melbourne Commonwealth Games & Beijing Olympics as the head Creative of JMW Australia… he was home on a rest while waiting on his new position with another global giant & we decided to put our heads together to make something to celebrate our home town…

We aimed to show Wellington as vibrant & exciting to the world. Not celebrating ourselves to ourselves. Allowing others to celebrate us, our city & our place in the World - if only for the fact we are the first capital city to see the New Year!

We did this to instil some pride in our children in our home town. There was no gain for us. Sure we each have a son at Victoria & I even have a son who works at Paperkite as a Product Owner & Designer but he lives in Christchurch. But all my kids live overseas or Auckland & Christchurch & don’t see Wellington as “home” like we do.

Philip is now Creative Director at Google. I’m shifting our business out of Wellington this month to Auckland & overseas. I’m still questioning why Wellington does not have anything to offer us. But I keep thinking it’s more that Wellington wants nothing that we have to offer…

Wellington creatives don’t make it in Wellington. They make it elsewhere & live in Wellington until it becomes easier to live somewhere else or they are prepared to adjust their work & lifestyle to suit - I live in Wellington but we’re moving core business to Auckland. When I first worked with Phil in 2000 I commuted to Melbourne but worked in a satellite office (old style remote) back here in Wellington or my studio in Melbourne… we worked on installations in Sydney & I worked on events in Auckland too.

But as Wellington gets more & more isolated the remote working style gets more difficult to justify. The issue for our home town is that it keeps telling us it has great food & theatre & entertainment however it’s not as good as Melbourne or Auckland or Christchurch right now - ask all those new students who went to Canterbury this year.

The issue is the town needs to stop making out it has a lot to offer & start offering a place that new people feel they are making a contribution… that’s what we wanted from LA DE DA 2014. A new culture that offered a place to belong & then celebrate that. And then show off about it to the World!

note: 2014 the main question was “who is Kendrick Lamar?”

Paperkite Brewing Co.’s IPA is finally tapping at @TapRoomKL, and it’s a pretty decent session IPA. It’s clean, crisp, refreshing and uncomplicated, with just the right balance of hops to satisfy regular IPA drinkers and also serve as a gentle introduction to hoppy beers for craft beer beginners. #beer #beers #craftbeer #craftbeerkl #IPA #IPAbeer #mytipsyturvy #paperkitebeer #tipsyturvybeer #paperkitebrewingco https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWk6KvJ35W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Learning ground Techniques  for the sport of kite fighting. Traditionally most are small, unstable single-line flat kites where line tension alone is used for control, at least part of which is manja, typically glass-coated cotton strands, to cut down the line of others. Many of these kites are flown with a typically very sharp, abrasive coated line (manja). To avoid getting hand injuries ordinary string (saddi) is used for the ground end. Some lines have thin blades attached to the tail, line, or kite. The person who cuts the opponent's line wins the fight. In multiple kite matches, the person with the last kite in the air is the winner. The two most common types of cutting are done with abrasive coated line – release cutting or pull cutting. To release cut, once lines are in contact, both parties reel out their lines until one is cut. In pull cutting, the flier quickly pulls in the line. Winning factors include the skill of the kite flyer, size of the kite, its speed, agility and durability, the quality of the line, its sharpness, the quality and size of the spool, the spool mechanism, initial contact and wind conditions. When the kite is flown with the line taut, the kite is deformed by the wind pressure, giving it a degree of stability. When the line tension is reduced, either by letting out more line or by the flyer moving into wind, the kite will begin to become unstable and begin to rock from side to side, or in extreme cases even spin. By reapplying tension at the right moment, the kite will move in the direction that the flyer requires! @olddelhiwalk #paperkite #patang #kite #patangbazi #kitefestival #kites #kiteflying #patangbaz #patangbaazi #manja #dori #charkhi #kitekifghting #fighterkite #delhi #kiteforkids #india #bigkite #kiterunner #kitelife #kitelove #kiteworld #kitefestival #fun #olddelhiwalk #olddelhitour #olddelhi #delhitourism #tourismindia #Tripadvisor (at Masterji Kee Haveli Tourism India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTwLY76lAjS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Large tree nymph by Foto Martien The rice paper butterfly, paper kite butterfly or large tree nymph (Idea leuconoe) is a very popular and spectacular member of butterfly gardens around the world due to its impressive size and bright distinctive colors. The black and white butterfly with a wingspan of 95 to 115 cm across is orginal from South-East Asia. The name Rice Paper Butterfly comes from the translucent quality of the wings. This picture was taken in the butterfly garden of De Passiflorahoeve in Harskamp, the Netherlands. _____________________ De papiervlinder (Idea leuconoe) is een grote witte dagvlinder met zwarte tekening uit de familie Nymphalidae. De mooie en opvallende papiervlinder met licht transparante vleugels wordt veel in vlindertuinen gehouden. De vlinder heeft een vleugelspanwijdte van 95-115 millimeter en komt voor in Zuidoost-Azië. In een onderzoek naar de levensduurverwachting van vlinders in gevangenschap, was de gemiddelde levenslengte van deze papiervlinder 19 dagen, met als maximum 104 dagen. Deze foto is gemaakt in de overdekte tropische vlindertuin van De Passiflorahoeve, een zorgboerderij bij Harskamp, vlakbij Arnhem, Ede en Apeldoorn op de Veluwe.
