Cityscape - Issue 109

في هذه القضية

Celebrate good times, come on. It's a celebration! Kool & The Gang’s disco banger is a welcome ear-worm for me as our season of sun and fun kicks off. How are you going to celebrate? Throwing shapes to some sick beats at Hagley Park? Skanking to Fat Freddy’s? Singing along to a Hoodoo Gurus’ classic with Dave Faulkner? Or maybe a day worshipping at the altar of beer? How about slurping down some huhu grubs? Would you like a gin with that? Choices, choices, choices – isn’t it wonderful to have those again! With the borders thrown open I am also looking forward to a long overdue reunion with friends and whanau from afar. It’s been so long! One thing I have learned is to not take for granted the opportunity to mash it up in a mosh pit or mix and mingle in a crowded bar. As Joni sings, you don’t know what you’ve lost till it’s gone. So I’m on a mission to make sure I wring every last drop of good times from the months ahead. Not just in a crowd but also in some of the beautiful quiet spaces we are so blessed to have. Whether that’s heading into the high country or just taking the dog for a walk on the beach. It’s ka pai to be back at Cityscape. I love the buzz that comes with sharing the city’s latest with our readers, both in print and online. When I was last here, in early 2020, it seemed everything I was writing about was getting cancelled the next day. Dark times indeed. But now we have come into the light. Long evenings, warm seas and cool company beckon.
