Hi All - 'Stroke' has gone gold in NZ! During a BBQ in the fine Auckland summer yesterday we had a wee presentation for Chris where Pete Baker from Rhythm Method records presented Chris with 2 spray painted slabs of vinyl. Some drunken loon in the assemblage yelled 'speech, speech'. Chris did his best to respond.

Chris is ok - he's got a cold at the moment which is making him feel grotty as a grot. The lowered medication does seem to be helping though.

The Nothing will be playing Lane Way music festival on Feb 1st at the Britomart in downtown Auckland. The honorary Nothing member for this outing is the fab Shayne P Carter on guitar. It looks like a great line-up (Daniel Johnston, 3Ds, The Dirty Three) & there are still some tickets left if you're keen to see Chris up & performing again.

All the best folks.

Roy.
