Join Qkchk and Qkkid for a bloody hilarious night on the 23rd Feb @ starting from 6pm down at the Auckland Domain. (The big grassy area below the Auckland Museum, silly...) The Skycity Starlight Smyphony (http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/whatson/events/starlight/default.asp) is held every year in Feb and is free of charge. The night always ends with a bang (either by fireworks or by Army Artillery!)


What is involved:

1. Good Company
2. Good Food & Drink - B.Y.O. (For best results bring a pinic!)
3. Good Weather (Lets hope)
4. Passable Music
5. Good Price (The concert is FREE!)

The aim of the evening is to, well..... have a damn good time. We will be heading down to the Domain approx 5ish to try and get a good vantage point and then proceed to have a feed, drinks and talk bikes etc.

There is excellent motorcycle parking right next door to Auckland Hospital at the entrance to the Domain (Park Road).


NOTE: After previous years debacle, it is important to arrive before the show starts, cause we couldnt find some of ya last year! 250,000 other people around makes it impossible! Cellphones dont work well either down there, the lines are far too congested........... as we found out... (Someone txt'd us at 7pm and we did get the txt till after we left - 11pm)


NOTE: THIS EVENT IS WEATHER PERMITTING (Hurricane and horizontal rain....)

The Westpace Chopper Ride is on the next day..............

Can't remember what time it finished last year..

I'll probably come down again, wonder how bikers react to symphony music? Last time I went with musically minded people and they were near enough singing along.. I didn't have a clue. See you guys down there.
