    An encounter with the DARBINATOR.

    Darbinator

    By Al Ronberg

    OK, I am not really sure if it is the done thing to assign your own nickname to icons of New Zealand entertainment... but for now we are gonna go with it... But before then, I have a confession to make... can we handle confessions this close to Christmas!? I am sure it is the season for open and honest discussion so I am just going to put it out there... Ummmm... oh gosh this is tougher than I thought... Well... it's kinda like this... I have only seen 2 full episodes of Flight of the Conchords! (A NATION COLLECTIVELY GASPS)... In my defence... we don't have sky and I don't class myself as a junkie of TV stuff! I have friends in England that have more experience in the FOTC ways!

    So my entire idea of what will transpire on Saturday night at the Civic, is based around having seen The Boat that Rocked, Yes Man, an occasional appearance on 7 Days and the 2 Degrees ads! I am sure that The Darbinator himself will be awesome and from what I have read of the show at Buytickets.co.nz there will be an awesome array of Characters that The Darbinator will bring out to declare war on any frowns that may just show up. (Did I really just create the worst metaphor in history?!).

    I have to be really honest - my expectations are really high - I love the Darbinator's style and I think that out of all the KMA assignments I have been sent to, the expectation levels are as high as they were before I went to Avenue Q and we all know how much THAT was a resounding success!!! Looking forward to sharing with you after the show!

    This is an arts and entertainment blog facilitated by THE EDGE, the home of the Aotea Centre, The Civic, Auckland Town Hall and Aotea Square in Auckland, New Zealand.

    The blog was set up in 2010, as a project sending six arts novices to a whole range of cultural events. They tried EVERYTHING and learned a lot. We continue to change things up - getting more bloggers on board, including insider blogs, artist Q&As and background stories.
