New Zealand Only 18 Hours From New York
1 Mar
Episode 19 of Flight of the Conchords is not to be missed! Not only is the poster by Murray’s desk classic, but Jemaine’s impression of Art Garfunkel and Art’s actual appearance on the show is hilarious. Plus, the prime minister of New Zealand makes the trip to New York for a rocking fondue party with Murray.
I found a facebook discussion group titled, “Best New Zealand Tourism Posters from Murray’s Office” where people have posted their favorite sayings from the posters by Murray’s desk. I forgot about a few that made me laugh like, ” New Zealand Just Like Lord of the Rings”.
In other Flight of the Conchords news, a fun video from the show, “Leggie Blonde” is on the HBO website featuring Murray (and a few other behind the scenes videos as well). And, most exciting, Jemaine and Brett are going on tour this spring, and will be in Salt Lake City (the closest venue to me) on May 17th!

That is so great! Thank you for posting this! Your photographs are beautiful. I absolutely hope to visit someday. Do you know if you can order the posters? I wrote and asked HBO if they were selling them, but never received a reply. I’m thrilled that you wrote a comment. Cheers!
