Well, technically I sang a few fragments of that Dean Martin song, but essentially the strike is still happening. Yes, it is making me angrier, but I'm not stoned, so I'm fairly sharp and lucid with my anger and that's probably working well. It isn't my explicit mission to target the Wellington elite, but their objections about me have really upset me and I'm enjoying demonstrating how they're using their wealth and overseas educations to get millions from the government. I think that those musicians are bamboozling the NZ arts bodies, and love their perks too much to acknowledge the success of CSO, APO and Orchestra Wellington, while I'm not a fan of theatre, which makes it easier for me to demonstrate those inequities. 🤣

- I missed Evee's play unfortunately, but I think I was still right to criticise that funding decision. - Hi Tim from Chloe's campaign launch, and Glen McConnell, who I've seen around the Parliamentary precinct but haven't spoken to yet. 👋 I hope you guys are forming fantasy teams too: I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but probably a message board or something where everyone posts their scores.
