Makeshift Issue 3 Launch

Last weekend I took my girlfriend out. We hit up Coherent on K Rd for the 3rd issue launch of Makeshift Magazine. If you don't know about it, Makeshift is a magazine for writers, artists, creative people, whatever to put out their stuff. It's really cool stuff.

Saturday was a gorgeous day, as anyone in the Auckland area would have no doubt noticed. The evening however, was miserable. As it tends to do in this city, it started raining, and just wouldn't relent. Still, a quick cab ride solved all the issues there.

The launch was great. Makeshift organised free Vodka Jelly shots (when I say free, I guess I meant it was included with the door charge) ***EDIT Steven from Makeshift gave me the inside word here, he said "The shots were actually free as MoonJoos pitched them in for us! The cover charge was split between paying for the magazine (or trying to) and giving the bands loving as well". So there you go, the inside word on the cover. Of course, heh. ***

There were cupcakes there for anyone who wanted one. I did, and they were delicious. There was a karaoke room, a crazy lush forest room, with masks made by my friend PodgyPanda, there was a drawing board for anyone who wanted to bust out their art skills. Which I crudely attempted to do, failing to conjure up anything to do me justice.

Finally, and most importantly, there was booze and bands. So everyone could get their swerve on and listen to some rocking sounds.

I had a great time. So go check them out. www.makeshift.co.nz

If you wanna submit something, you can email them and get something in for issue four I guess. If I find some spare time, I'll look at doing it myself.

rock on.
