Day 30 – Thoughts

NZCC 2013 Blog Challenge Day 30 - Thoughts:

Even though we weren't part of Bridget and Sonya's original blogging workshop, we were keen to be part of a local 30 day challenge and lucky enough that it was opened to the public (even if only a few of us actually did it!).

I started blogging in 2010, and have always just written whatever tickles my fancy. Initially it was challenging to write to specific topics, especially with some of the subjects - too hard even for the hosts ;), but by the end I was looking forward to seeing what was up for the day.

I'm stoked to have completed all 30 days, a big achievement with a lot of other things to juggle, and some of the topics came with very tight deadlines.

Thanks to Bridget and Sonya for a fun 30 days!

Day 29 – Trading Places

NZCC 2013 Blog Challenge Day 29 - Trading Places:

I'd swap places with Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta AKA Lady Gaga.

She's a singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, activist, businesswoman, fashion designer, actress, philanthropist, humanitarian, oh yeah, and then there's the net worth of $150 million.

Lady Gaga is an artist through and through, she writes songs, plays instruments, wears meat, and more than anything is not afraid to be herself.

Day 28 - Stress

NZCC 2013 Blog Challenge Day 28 - Stress:

A big part of our job is relieving stress! Planning an event (especially a wedding!) is stressful and one call to us can take care of your music, sound system, and lighting. We program the music, set up on the day, and collect it all after the wedding - stress free!

If you're looking to relieve more wedding stress, here are some tips:

- Remember to eat. It will be a busy day and it can be easy to forget simple things like food and drink for you!

- Plan and book as much as you can, as soon as you can. We already have bookings into 2014, and have had bookings two years out.

- Put at least as much energy into your relationship as your wedding. It's easy to be excited about the big day, but it's actually about all of the days after that :)

Day 25 – One Thing You Would Change

We'd like to change location! We're getting too big for our current space, so we're on the look out for the perfect workshop to move our operations. We're looking forward to it! A sparkly new workshop with plenty of room for the 0800 crew, jukeboxes, tools, and the occasional project car :)

Day 23 - Describe Your Perfect Day

NZCC 2013 Blog Challenge Day 23 - Describe Your Perfect Day

Being part of someone's perfect day is what we do :) Our jukeboxes have seen all kinds of perfect days - from weddings and birthdays to surprise parties and work dos. And because jukeboxes never rest, your party can rock on well into the next day!

We've collected jukeboxes that are still pumping 24 hours after we dropped them off - and Taranaki people know how to party! We've seen it all: beer can walls, 44 gallon drums filled with empty wine bottles, even a bride and groom missing their flight because they were still celebrating.

So, if you want non-stop music for your perfect day, a jukebox is the only way to go.

Day 22 – Share A Picture

NZCC 2013 Blog Challenge Day 22 - Share A Picture Of Last Thing You Bought

After a car parked itself in the front of our truck, we had to order a few bits from the US but they haven't arrived yet...

So, the last thing we bought is this:

I don't know about you, but I reckon cowl induction hoods should be mandatory on V8s.

Day 17 – Sport

The Harlem Globetrotters are hitting town in June, bringing back memories of Dad taking me and my brother to see them as a kid. You can check out The Harlem Globetrotters at the TSB Stadium, on the 28 May 2013.

Herbert "Flight Time" Lang @datrotter4 is coming to New Plymouth to promote the event, so we've replaced the lamps and made sure the balls are pumped up in the basketball machine at the cinema.

Sure, he can do this:

 

but can he do this?



(I can't do either but don't tell Flight Time - I've challenged him to a game on Twitter :))

@datrotter4 When you're in New Plymouth I will challenge you to a game on the basketball machine at the cinema.
