Fundraiser organised for new business hit by thieves

From Checkpoint, 5:32 pm today

A neighbouring bar is setting trading rivalries aside to raise money for the owner of an under-construction Wellington music venue hit by thieves before it's opened its doors. L-B-Q is collecting money from beer sales from donated kegs for its competition and close neighbour, Meow, which is behind the planned venture, Meow Nui. This show of solidarity comes as Meow Nui's opening date remains up in the air after its slated August debut has come and gone.
