LifeBrisbane checked out Supafest over the weekend at RNA Showgrounds…

We snapped this pic of Akon from backstage…  We were so close we could nearly touch him!

Gradually as he performed, more and more of his clothes came off.  Towards the end of his performance, he was even crowd surfing amongst some delirious fans.

Apologies for the not so great quality of this image, but you can see the little guy in the red circle crowd surfing!

Also, a little bit about Supafest – It was packed!  Its the only urban festival around, so hopefully we’ll see a few more of these per year with the combined forces of some really great hip hop/rnb acts out there.  Yes, we love our dance, but we love our hip hop and rnb just as much.  Crossing our fingers next year for Snoop Dogg,  Ne-Yo, Timbaland…  Sounds pretty good already!

From LOST AT E-MINOR:

As greater focus has turned to sustainable, ethical meat, unicorns are starting to make sense as a protein source for humans. Unlike other meats, unicorns become more tender as they reach the end of their natural lifespan, so the meat is harvested only after they’ve died of natural causes. Guilt free meat full of sparkles, giggles, rainbows.

Recently visiting the Sunshine Coast, LifeBrisbane snapped a group of young bucks out on a buck’s night…

As you can see, glad wrap has been used in this instance to provide maximum discomfort for this young Mooloolaba buck…  The rest of the bucks proceeded to pour oil and tomato sauce all over him.  Eeew.

Get ready peoples!  Iron Man 2 is being released in Australia on Thursday, 29th April!

Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.

Also starring Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko / Whiplash, Scarlett Johanssen as Natalia Romanova / Black Widow, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
