Indeed it is! I’m working over at Weta next week which will feed into Beervana in Wellington and another trip to Wanaka. Can’t wait!

Very cool!  Are you a techo or creative type?

I’m a techo, unfortunately I never cracked it with my creative side to pay the bills!  Have to say though, it’s an awesome environment at Weta - very laid-back, no egos and if you’re into any of the Tolkein stuff it’s a playground - models everywhere.  And a german shepherd that seems to just wander around the offices.  This is one of the front yards:

The best thing though has to be the ability to jump on a plane at the end of each workshop and bomb it to Queenstown for the weekend!

I saw a few WETA caps around, and the wearers were obviously part of that industry. Sounds like a great job.

Azz for Azz jumping off things… I might be forced to put his bit in…. wink

Just remembered you guys also had a Tasmania TR so about to hunt that one down as well I’ll chalk it up as “research” smile
