A local man tested his mates’ appetite for avant-garde art and cold air this morning by suggesting they go on a boys’ trip to Dark Mofo this year in Hobart.
“Oi,” typed Olympus Hardy, a 29-year-old software developer who wears Converse to work.
“We should go to Dark Mofo this year.”
That was seven hours ago.
The Capricorn’s suggestion went through to the keeper at 9:59 am when the last person in the Whatsapp group saw it.
“The double blue tick at the bottom really put the boot in,” he said.
“Everyone saw it and nobody said anything. I think Dark Mofo would be a great time.”
Tragically, young Oly didn’t leave it there.
In all seriousness, he typed out the following:
“Come on, guys. Don’t you want to be huddled around a flaming barrel in Salamander [sic] Square drinking mulled wine while someone performs an autopsy on a pangolin in front of us or something?”
“You guys could bring your girlfriends if you want to, I don’t mind.”
Two hours have passed since that, he said, and still, nobody has written back.
However, the silence was broken just before this story went to print.
A friend of Oly’s posted a meme of the entire cast of Friends in cartoon form engaging in a group sex act to the chat which garnered a great response.
“They could probably see that at Dark Mofo, ironically,” he told our reporter.
“Maybe they’ll see that one day.”
More to come.
