Hi Jane,

The best friends are the ones who love you no matter what; the people you can tell anything. Like about how you're starting to notice hairs in your ears and sometimes your armpits smell funny at the end of a long day. Yesterday we confided in you that one of our grand plans wasn't doing so flash and asked for your help. And boy have you pulled through for us Wellington.
 
Within hours of our plea we had actual video entries into Something I Prepared Earlier. And by this morning we had 21! There's even some pretty good (and cheeky) ones. To celebrate and to say thanks we've talked to our friends at Mojo and they're going to give 25% off retail coffee to anyone who sings 'I'll be there for you' to them at Mojo Coffee Central HQ at Shed 13 today.

As well as our awesome prize up for grabs, the fellas at Yeastie Boys are going to give a $150 case of Her Majesty (one of Stu's personal cases!) for the best entry featuring one of their brews.
 
Check out the Something I Prepared Earlier videos here.

There's still time to enter if you're keen - competiton ends on Monday 9 August.

So anyway, enough about all that - find out what's happening around town over the next couple of weeks...
