I certainly had an interesting evening last night, at the Backbenches Mt Albert by-election special in Kingsland. I hadn’t gone along to anything like this before, but it was pretty obvious even when I first arrived (quite a few hours early, somewhat by mistake as it was easier to find where it was than I had expected) that it would be interesting, and quite crowded. It was like someone had dumped together all the political media and bloggers from around the country into one place together.
After disappearing off to Handmade Burgers for a very nice dinner we came back and met up with a few friends. Rather strangely, I managed to end up live-blogging for The Standard on the whole event, which was an interesting and fun experience – although it was quite difficult to actually hear much of what was being said.
The show was pretty rowdy and the crowd really got into it, which certainly made for a fun evening.
