The widening of their product base seems to be an ethical problem for Stuff (the ad sales and news packaging corporation formerly known as Fairfax NZ) - their Events operation brought over the Night Noodle Markets concept from their Australian parent company - and their papers and website run regular fawning articles about them.
At the outset (back in 2016) they did mention the connection, but as of late they usually only mention their contracted organisers - I always write in and ask why they don't note the umbilical connection and they have taken to then adding a line saying that Stuff is a sponsor - even though the Night Noodle Markets website does not have them listed as either sponsor or owner.
How altruistic and noble of them to 'sponsor' anonymously.see:

If you are stuck inside today or at some point - this is an excellent way to wile away an hour and a half .
Sigur Ros: Heima (at home) their 2006 tour of the villages of Iceland culminating in a big concert in Reykjavik .I'd never really heard them before - I was most impressed.

re – King’s Arms…
there’s Departure Lounge, an exhibition…
Deparcher Lounge surely?

…anyway, I always thought that ‘Departure Lounge’ was a fine Chad Taylor book. -
Very sad to hear of Grant Fell's death.

Man at work...
Reading this: https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/100788520/trump-working-hard-or-hardly-working-during-shutdown I'm beginning to wonder if any day now it will be revealed that Trump (and all that that envelops) is really a time expansive private conceptual art project of Gilbert and Georgian-conceit - or maybe an amalgam of Jeff Koons/Damien Hirst and Billy Apple/Andy Warhol.
Maybe a post-Dadaist/Situationist riff on High Office for the BBQ ribs set.
Cutting edge stuff. -
NASA owes its Jet Propulsion Laboratory to Thelemite and Crowleyite Jack Parsons back in 1943.
