Something for the Kids
It's Foundation Day tomorrow, another holiday. It's something to do with a chick chopping down a tree about 200 years ago, and declaring Perth well and truly open, on for young and old; that sort of thing.
Anyway, I thought it might be nice to have a public holiday that's a bit more "hip" for the younger set, and that's why I'm suggesting celebrating Awesome Day, some time around August or Septemeber, because there's nothing there now.
Awesome Day celebrates everything that's really awesome. Haven't really thought much more about it, but I imagine it would begin with John Howard playing a bitchin' rendition of the national anthem on a Fender Strat, and then driving a monster truck around Canberra for an hour or two. It would then conclude with a regular fireworks display, except all the fireworks would be let off at once. Awesome!
I'll get back to you with further thoughts if I have any.
