    Animal Attacks: One More Time!

    “The day wore on and the sharks were around, hundreds of them. You'd hear guys scream, especially late in the afternoon. Seemed like the sharks were the worst late in the afternoon than they were during the day. Then they fed at night too. Everything would be quiet and then you'd hear somebody scream and you knew a shark had got him”

    XXX Week
    Issue 2

    Simultaneous to the first falling leaf of autumn, 2010 O’Week began with a blistering sun and a fuck load of fun. Events like toilet racing, the dunker, and touch the transvestites showed the class and organisation of the wonderful WSU. Marquees covered the Village Green from head to toe, handing out everything from bibles to condoms, condom bibles to bible condoms. Christians, Young Nats, Old Labour Dogs, and any other organisation that targets young people’s money, converged together for a week of preying on unsuspecting first-years and their easy-to-impress minds.

    Togas, hypnotists, quizzes, comedy and music.
    O’Week at night had a lot going for it. And, for the most part, the nights lived up to the hype.
    Monday night ushered in the celebrations with a traditional pub quiz at Bar101. Just a heads up guys: Machu Picchu is in Peru.

    Logan Hughes did exactly what he set out to do in O’Week: gain publicity for his bar. Owner of Hamilton bar Agenda, Mr Hughes set up an O’Week promotion selling ‘goldfish shots’ to students which quickly caught the eye of the politically correct.

Proposed changes include: raising the driving age to 16, a zero alcohol-limit for under 20’s, changing the right give way rule at intersections, and more booze and buds buses to catch stoned sober drivers.

    New Years - Gisbourne

    Have I ever been more excited than I was during the road trip to Rhythm and Vines? Heck. No. For what awaited me was the most insane New Years ever. Here are the highlights...

    January 15th. 11 am. Mt. Smart Stadium. It is that time of year again in which I rise to the challenge of the over bearing sun, the thousands of punters, and the suffocating ‘D’ entry for the 2010 Big Day Out.
    Kicking the day off with The Checks at the main stage reminded me why I love this underrated band so much. Ed Knowles is easily the coolest NZ front man, manically dancing around the stage with a swagger reminiscent of Mick Jagger.
