So. I finally did it. A month late, and one complete rewrite later. I ran off five copies on the crappy downstairs office printer, and they’re available for $2.50 at The Shed Project Kapiti. (Or I can post you a copy for $4.)

This first issue of Bemusement Park is mostly an essay on what I did for my 2012 holiday, which was a much-abridged bike trip in the Wairarapa. Plenty of photos.

I’m not sure… I might knock out the next one in a month. I just need a theme.

So I went into town today, and ended up walking for about four hours. I already tweeted these so ignore if you’re on Twitter.

  • Hit the waterfront, looking over to Oriental Bay;
  • Saw sailboats at play in front of Te Papa;
  • Frank Kitts Park, athrong;
  • Pigeons parked up near Herd Street;
  • Up a right-of-way to Hood Street, and this pretty house was at the end;
  • I’m not sure if the “idiot” was added afterwards;
  • Slogging up Marjoribanks Street as I ascend Mt Vic;
  • Looking out to Evans Bay (it’s all downhill from here);
  • Strange shop window, taken after lunch in Hataitai’s The Realm;
  • Ah, the great Kiwi summer sport.

More to come.
