This Week + Next Week in Auckland

Little bit of a quieter issue this week, but hey, the newsletter can’t always be the longest and craziest every single week. Hard to beat literal knights beating each other up and a bunch of other wild events that happened last week. Still, there are some great events in this issue though.

Also, big thank you as well to everyone who’s shared the Bagel so far, it’s much appreciated.

Enjoy this week’s issue 🥯
