I forgot about SithLord. Not much of a Star Wars fan but I did like their debut 20 years ago.

Cities I've seen the most live shows/concerts/music festivals in:

701 ... Auckland, NZ
100 ... Wellington, NZ
20 ... Melbourne, Australia
16 ... Hamilton, NZ
8= ... Christchurch, NZ
8= ... Tauranga, NZ

Saw my 100th in Wellington last night. I've lived near Wellington for about a third of my gig-attending life, but my gig addiction didn't really take off until I moved to Auckland so that's way ahead (plus it's bigger so it's got more worth going to).

3½ years later I've just seen my 200th in Wellington. Almost got there before moving back to Auckland 9 months ago, and then somehow there were another 5 to go to in one visit. Yes, I'm counting Porirua separately even though it's attached to Wellington like a mole.

775 ... Auckland, NZ
200 ... Wellington, NZ
24 ... Melbourne, AU
17 ... Hamilton, NZ
11 ... Porirua, NZ

5 films I think we had to study in high school:

Dead Poets Society
Edward Scissorhands
Schindler's List
Speed
The Truman Show

It's such a weird way to watch a movie. Felt sorta like being mentally challenged/suffering from dementia and having someone pause at the end of every scene to discuss the insignificant details with you rather than just the plot. Especially if you were away sick for a few days or the class ran out of time and fast forwarded parts.

I've applied varying degrees of my attention to 3 of them since. No interest in Dead Poets Society, but I should really watch Speed normally.
