I spy with my little eye, something beginning with B


B is for Beatbox Kitchen & Burgers

We may not have the brilliant Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream trucks roaming the streets of Melbourne...yet, but tonight I came across the Beatbox Kitchen food van in North Carlton.

Tunes + Burgers = 2am gold.

For anyone who wants to meet for a burger at Rathdowne and Park Street North Carlton, we’ll have to wait a couple of weeks because Beatbox is heading north to Splendour in the Grass. Just another reason to have Splendour envy.

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with S



S is for Super Soakers & StreetWars

Kicking off 2 August is London’s annual 3-week 24/7 watergun city assassination tournament.

Rules are simple

At the start of the game you’re given critical information about your target:

  • Name & picture
  • Home & work address
  • Email & phone number

Your mission is to find and kill (by way of water gun, water balloon or super soaker) your target.

You can hunt your target down any way you see fit; you can pose as a delivery person and jack them when they open the door, disguise yourself and take them out on the street, etc.

If you are successful in your assassination attempt, the person you killed will give you their envelope and the person they were supposed to kill becomes your new target. This continues until you work yourself through all the players and retrieve the envelope with your picture and name. Then you win.

Anyone prepared to pay for my Tour of Duty?
