1) Doug Tereu @ VBC. Doug is pretty awesome. Student radio stations are incredibly hard to run - volunteers can be impossible, the quality of shows varies A LOT and the choice of music can be all over the place. However, Doug has managed to make a student radio station into something actually worth listening to. Yes, I know bFM does this well sometimes but VBC is my radio of choice. And have you seen the O Week programme they've put together? LOVE YOUR WORK!
2) Wellington City Police. OK so sometimes they suck. Especially at 4 in the morning when one of our team was almost arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour. However, a friend of ours had an incident last night that resulted in national calls being made to family and friends, three flats being visited, and finally, a banging on the door at 7:30am. All was well but the amount of work done for this incident was pretty impressive.
Hey guys! thanks for making me choice.
ReplyDeleteI just want to go on and say that the VBC was put together by Matthew Davis, Kristen Paterson and myself and without any of these people it would have been an impossible task.
And without full support of people who and have volunteered over the years then we would never have got this far.
I am happy that it is at a point in which it can be handed over and carry on in a direction that is beneficial to everyone who is wanting to get involved and support our local and international acts that others may not.
Not to blow the VBC 88.3FM whistle, but it is an integral resource for students studying a variety of subjects to get skills in any kind of media, from broadcast to print and film. Even sales, advertising and promotion. There is something for everyone who has the time to commit.
Also we must thank the Victoria University Students' Association for their support and belief that we can do what we say we can do. Without the students association I wonder what many cultural and sporting clubs would do. Campus culture is very important for all those out there and there is a bill coming into play that seeks to destroy all Students' Associations. Without these services from VUWSA and other associations there would be no culture on campus, starving students, people getting kicked out of courses and having no one to represent their injustices. Oh and no SWEET ORIENTATION LINE UPs at good prices aswell!
Victoria Univeristy is choice too for letting us be creative with our projects.
Also the VUWSA Orientation Team @ the VBC are also wicked and special thanks to Chrisana Love who has done an aswesome job. I reckon if I were to join the WWF she would be one of my tag team partners and Matthew Davis who has also worked tirelessly with the not so pretty side of the industry and also Jonathan King, Teresa Samuels, Stefan Reyners etc etc heaps of people i should be mentioning.
Thanks for thinking i am choice, but I couldn't take all the credit when I am surrounded by so many choice people who make things happen for everyone!
1 thing I will say before I leave.
SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC
SUPPORT LOCAL PROMOTERS
SUPPORT COMMUNITIES
SUPPORT GOOD PEOPLE
SUPPORT AWESOME BARS
SUPPORT OUR CAFES
SUPPORT OUR ARTISTIC FLARE
There are important things to Wellington and it is sad to see many people giving up on what they love doing because sometimes we are way too lazy to leave the house or just want to be stingy.
AND TOTES BUY ALL YOUR ORI TICKETS BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAP AS CHIPS AND MEGA SWEET BANDS!
