It's official. They're doing a documentary about meThere are just 69 sleeps till 2009, and in this time Documentary New Zealand will be on my tail filming my antics in the spotlight, and behind the scenes. The last time I was on film I performed poorly, and it ended in tears, fingers crossed for a reversal of fortune. Also, if you're stuck for a NYE option come on my 24 hour party bus trip to Matakana, for Highlife Entertainment's huge dance event. Look at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=33575155317.
