24 Seconds of Fame

I've been waiting for ages to post this on The Daily Dissonance! It's taken me a while because I'm what I like to call technologically crippled. I'm learning. Slowly, but learning all the same.

Anyway, this video is of my friend, Cushen, who went all out this year to go to DefQon.
From what he's told me, DefQon is a massive rave festival that goes all over the place, and the one on currently is near Amsterdam.
Each year, they hold a competition: The person who publicises the DefQon logo the most wins two plane tickets, accommodation and entry to the rave for the week.

Cushen decided that he'd go mental with his attempt, and it paid off! For all of those who went to see the "Dreamtime at the G" match between Richmond and Essondon they would have seen something like this: A short guy running across the M.C.G. with his pants around his ankles, a cape with the DefQon logo painted on it and a red elephant g-string ("It's cool! You put your JUNK in the TRUNK!"). And here's the footage of him making a fool of himself.



Brilliant! I met up with him at e:55 later that night and he was so psyched about it.
Anyway, he did win the competition and he's currently over in Amsterdam enjoying some of his much love hardstyle. He should be back in the next couple of days and I'll see if I can get him to do a post about the streak and the trip.

The only problems with his streaking at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground for all you people who aren't up on Aussie lingo) is that he has to go to court for interupting a public event, pay a $6, 000 fine and may be put on the sex offenders list. Damn...
Much respect and love to the little man. I hope he's having a good ol' time over in Amsterdam.

So that's all for me tonight, as I have to have a decent sleep so I can go job hunting (and not look like a member the living dead) in the morning and study for my Psychology exam.
Blogs away!
