I've met some cool cats on this trip, local queenstowners, international stars, comedians, entertainers, snow boarders and party people. Some of them you've already seen. But here are a few more randoms... 

Meet Claire Brinsley, her cool son Winston and her adorable 7 week old puppy Lulu.

Not only does Claire run the beautiful B&B "The Dairy" where I'm lucky enough to be staying through Winterfest. But she also designs Claire Bloom a label that's sold in 13 stores around the country.

Big thanks to Paraflights!  

Up up and away!

So high I thought that Kayakers were ducks!

So I'd heard about this guy, even seen him around badly lit hangouts in Auckland. But never really A> Known him  B> Talked to him  C> Heard him do comedy... OR   D> Had my photo taken with him.

So now Ben gets four big ticks. Nice guy, fun guy, straight up sorta guy. But mainly funny guy!

I stopped in at Thriller in the Chiller. An event with around 60 tables and 4 huge stands- I'd estimate around 800+ people. I hadnt expected such a well put together event with so many of Queenstowns residents out in force.
