International Festival of the Arts

One of the many great things about Wellington is we get the International Festival of the Arts.  We also get the Sevens, Te Papa and the World of Wearable Arts while other cities get flower shows or something.

Readers may be especially interested in the session with Economics Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz. The Greens will love him as he is anti-globalisation.

Also Stiglitz appears with Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau in a discussion with John Campbell on the costs of the War in Iraq.

And for those wanting more light hearted and adult entertainment, there is La Vie.
