I have never enjoyed a celebrity interview as much as this one. Dame Kiri was beautiful, charming, eloquent, and open to answering all questions. The interviewer contributed greatly to the success of the event by being so well prepared. The only problem related to the audio system which was poorly set up, and this has been a persistent problem at the New Zealand Embassy.Written on Nov 17 2009

A unique opportunity. You should have more of these. (I note that the similar Brendel event sold out before I even knew of it.)Written on Nov 14 2009
