I know ... I watched it there, in Auckland back in 1995. *TLM 
day-dreaming*...

I was so fond of the spread out city of Auckland I almost never left there. 
I met travelers coming and going from Queen St Backpackers, entering and 
leaving N.Z. And yet I stayed around, cleaning the rooms of the hostel, 
drinking beer and smoking pot with Rob the Guitar player. I went away to 
Keri Keri for picking Kiwi's, but returned only after a few weeks. A copy of 
F&Z from a Keri Keri used book store, I gave away to Julie at the desk when 
I returned.

Aaah, those memories. Mixing memory and desire, mixing mixing...
