Can you believe it’s already February? Can you believe the world is going to end this year? Hope you made some solid resolutions that you can complete before December 23 (when the world ends).

If, like me, your resolution is to be less boring and have more fun, you’re in luck – there are some super choice events on the horizon, and it may be your last chance to see them (if the world ends).

First up, there’s the Fringe Festival, which runs from February 10 till March 3, with a great mix of shows, performances, artworks and experiences. On the must-see list: Part-Time Prostitute – The secret life of a Wellington hooker, The No-Nonsense Parenting Show, Adam Page and Puppet Fiction, and much, much more.

On February 11, the Men in the City charity bachelor auction is back, bringing more babes together with ladies for an evening to raise both funds and awareness for Endometriosis NZ. Early bird tickets have sold out, so visit Eventfinder QUICKLY to snap up yours!

At the New Zealand International Arts Festival, which runs from February 24 till March 18, I really, really want to hear talks by Germaine Greer and Thomas Friedman (who has THREE, count em, THREE Pulitzers), the amazing circus act Circenses, a bunch of reinterpreted Shakespeare plays, the Black in Fashion exhibition, along with other musical performances, plays, dance, art, talks… the list goes on and on.

I hope your new year is off to a great start and I’ll be sure to keep finding us fun things to do for the remainder of the year/our lives! Stay cool!
