November 11, 2011
Today, like many others around the world we decided to freeze the clock at the alliterative time of 11:11:11. To avoid missing it by a split second, I filmed Tom’s Casio. The build up was tense, the celebrations continue. See you at 12:12:12 next year. Maybe we’ll film the Big Ben or something. Check out the video below!

The Mount Flea Market
October 31, 2011
The new Mount Maunganui Flea market has it’s opening day, this coming Sunday, (November 6th). I’ve heard there’s going to be some cheap bikes for sale and baking and pre-loved clothes and all sorts of other goods. Oh and also, if you have old stuff you no longer need like your basketball card collection from ’95 or sister’s old bike, you can get in touch with Claire and set up your very own stall. Make sure you drop by, this Sunday at the Mount Maunganui Senior Citizens club, opposite Babette Café/Pizza Hut, Maunganui Rd, from 9am. Yeoooow!

Hello Mauao
October 5, 2011
Thanks friend and the man behind Major Toms Bar, Hambo Estrada is a talented human. When he’s not
pouring your beers, posting funny comments on Facebook or playing with his sausage dog, he’s out
snapping photos, timelapses and even filming. His latest venture, “Hello Mauao” is a Facebook page
dedicated to Mount Maunganui scenic shots, (all of which are his own work). Check them out, click below.
