This is Mikey. He is 38, likes basketball, giving his lady foot rubs and chill-raving at his desk at werk.
He has un-diagnosed ADHD which is lucky cos he (urgh this expression) “wears many hats” and currently is a; journalist, DJ, trivia host, Hawthorn FC mascot, Herald Sun Ollie the Owl Kids News mascot, uni consultant, events MC, husband, papa, friend and rarely foe. One day for Mikey is like a month for most people. Example;
Mikey finished up his standard 9-5 of chatting with local bands and covering family events heavy on face-painting (#jobsecurity), then got in his Hawks mascot outfit, ran onto the field of a packed MCG and butt-spanked Eddie McGuire (twice). He paraded around the G until the game ended, then ran off to to his next gig at The Palace Theatre where he hopped into his ‘wild strawberry’ costume and performed on stage as one of Pnau’s back up dancers. He nearly lost a foot stage diving at the end of the set, then pashed a girl while being dragged to the ambo but was stitched up in the hospital nine hours later and home in time to meet his mate for lunch the next day.
So yeah his werk has taken him to some interesting places and allowed him to meet some interesting peeps. He’s been groped by Molly Meldrum, accidentally touched Paul Kelly’s Paul Kelly, and got smooched by Juliette Lewis’s cold sore spot. But he no care cos his ultimate bae is his baby-mama who he met when hosting a trivia night 6yrs back. Having previously been a hoe-to-the-mo, he was bewildered by the feelings that flooded him when he first saw her. “Play it cool this chick is special don’t freak her out” he kept repeating in his head. He realised within two sentences SHE was IT. “She liked Beck. BECK, MAN. BECK. I had to lock it down”. You can see their awes chemistry for yourself at their trivia night on Tuesdays but I can’t guarantee you won’t end up in the dunnies like I did. It’s at Revolver Upstairs.
