RedJungle: I haven't booked it yet, but I was planning on staying at the Bolton - I stayed there recently and was rather impressed overall.

I stayed at the Bolton when it was brand new - I was the first person to stay in my room. I came in half-drunk after a sports event at about 11pm, and wanted a shower, get changed, and head to town.

The shower and sink only ran hot water out of all taps!!

Duty Manager was VERY unhappy with drunk guy on the phone claiming hot water coming out of cold taps, and it was 20mins or so before I could convince anyone to come up and check/do something about it.

Sure enough - the plumbing had been pooched, and I got moved to a different room.

Ok, watchout Wellington. T-Pain is making the journey south on Saturday.

Keep an eye out for me - I am really short, tend to not drink much, and am really quiet. I am also not very opinionated.

What time is food being served? Looks like we will miss out on the fireworks show at 730pm on the other side of the harbour.

Well, there will always be something happening. In Christchurch 2008 was an All Blacks test. People scoffled pizza and run to a pub to watch the game.

If you want to make it 7:30pm on the other side of the harbour then I think it won't happen...
