Im not angry, I'm just disapointed


Why must old buildings be ruined with new windows?
Why?

Dome Cinema








I wish I had started my addiction to the Dome Cinema earlier.
I'm kicking myself for all the great films I have missed but to see such a great classic as Breakfast at Tiffanys for me really was the perfect beginning.
The elegance of Audrey Hepburn and the dome room mesh perfectly, lounging in the giant bean bags there were moments of pure pleasure, so wonderful to be sharing these moments with Audrey a flower on her wallpaper or a member of her fabulous party.
Good taste in films and giant beanbags are not everything... not quite.
Sally is the wonderful hostess of the evening, by standing at the back of the room she will politely but firmly let you know that we will be waiting a few more minutes for the poor souls that are running late. She is the queen of the night. At intermission (who ever decided that intermissions were to be cancelled?) everyone stumbles sleepily to the cafe, stocking up on delicious salty popcorn and another glass of wine. Pizzas purchased by the wise were delivered to their beanbags, Sally dong's her gong again indicating there is to be no dilly-dallying and the film begins again.

Applause.

Morrells Vegetarian Pies


I'm not a vegetarian nor will I ever be but god the vegetarian pies at Morrells are good. Stuffed with wholesome veges and a delicious saucy thing I couldn't quite figure out, they are satisfying without that heavy fatty after taste.


Yummy Pinwheel Scones


So good they have a following!

Blue Stools


I know they may look a little bit crazy, maybe even tacky but a splash of colour on a grey day does wonder for your spirits.
These beauty's were purchased from Sally at Staple (inside the historical PBC) and spray-painted with the brightest colour we could find.

Hope they brighten your day too.

PAULNACHE


Star Gossage



John Blackburn Installation View


Opposite The Winemakers Daughters is a small door, next to the small door is a large sign. It looks something like this.....

PAU
LNA
CHE

To an uneducated eye the sign seems obscure but through the small door and up the stairs is an art gallery that goes by the name of PAULNACHE.

PAULNACHE is run by two friends; Matt and Gene. They meet at design school years ago and from what I have gathered had the idea of opening a gallery rattling around in their full to bursting minds for a while, until Matt came home to Gisborne one summer and stumbled across a unused space filled with light and begging to be turned into an art gallery. Thus their gallery was born and these two delightful men have been bringing fantastic artists to Gisborne for the last five years... and hopefully for many more to come.

They represent many of New Zealand's up and coming young artists, they show only what they love and respect, each exhibition is carefully chosen and hung with care. Among the amazing young talent they slot in big names, artist's that have been in the game for years so whether you know what you love or you need a little help to add to your collection Matt and Gene will give you invaluable advice and a wonderful experience.

PAULNACHE is open from 10-5 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and 10-3 Saturday, or join them on the first Friday of every month to celebrate their new exhibition opening.

Cnr Grey Street and Gladstone Road , Gisborne
