Day Two of F YEAH FEST 5:
LA Scavenger Hunt 08’
This year we decided to make the fest a little more interesting… After the F Yeah Tour we realized that we had to go back to our roots of doing more then simply putting on shows and focusing on events that have nothing to do with music. This is why we are organizing an all day scavenger hunt to kick off the second day of the F Yeah Fest.
We are doing this for all of you that have never participated in scavenger hunt as a kid… Also for those of you who live like we do and strive off child like activities such as dodgeball, hide and seek, and capture the flag…. For those of you that just want to have fun. That’s exactly what this event is about…. HAVING FUN.
At the first LA Scavenger Hunt we had more then five hundred participants. People of all ages attended this event. It was great to see a sixteen year old punk kid with a Limp Wrist shirt chat with a middle aged architect while waiting in line to sign up. This was in some ways an accomplishment because it was the first time that we had organized an event that brought such a diverse group of people together. And this is what we want to bring back… This scavenger hunt is for everyone. Let’s make this the best day of summer.
Here are the details for the event….
About:
The hunt will take place on Sunday, August 31st and will start at 2pm at the Echo Park Lake. It will end at a yet to be determined location in Echo Park at 7:00pm. The hunt is all ages & open to the public.
The List & Teams:
The list for the hunt is made up of 100 items. Each item is worth a certain amount of points. The team with the most points at 7:00pm wins the grand prize. Teams are made up of 2 to 5 people. Each team must have a name…. Your team should be like one of the gangs in the movie, the Warriors. Wear matching uniforms (this is not necessary but HIGHLY recommended), face paint, and make sure to scream a lot.
Items & Points:
Here is an example of some of the items that were on the list to the last scavenger hunt.
• Everyone on the team gets cornrows and extended fingernails. Must be real cornrows.
• One Person on the team getting a flat top with their name shaved into the back of their head.
• Life size cut out of Eazy E.
• Gay Porno magazine pre 1987
• Photograph of team member kissing a stranger on the lips. 50 extra points if they are a senior citizen. Look at example below.

THE LA SCAVENGER HUNT:
Here is a list of a few of the prizes for the winning team of the scavenger hunt. We are serious when we say that this will be the best day of the summer.
$500 cash
1hr to play whatever you want on KXLU (88.9fm in Los Angeles) on Friday, September 5th from 4:00pm - 5:00pm. Thank you Matt from KXLU for making this happen.
The opening slot on Mess With Texas 3 + $200 cash to get to Austin to perform. Mess With Texas is a free party that takes place during SXSW. This past year the Breeders, NOFX, Simian Mobile Disco, Lucero and Islands were amongst the bands that played to over 20,000 in attendance. I organize the event with two friends. Your band or a band of your choice (your best friends band) get to play.
10 new cds every month for an entire year from Finger Prints Music, which is the best record store in Southern California.
The largest whiskey bottle known to man. Actually, it's not the largest but 5 gallons is big and if the winners are underage they will get a keg of crystal clear pepsi or fruit punch.
Here is some information about the scavenger hunt:
The hunt will take place on Sunday, August 31st. It will start at 2pm at the Echo Park Lake and will end at a location in downtown LA at 7:00pm. The hunt is all ages, open to the public and cost $8 per person to participate.
The list for the hunt is made up of 100 items. Each item is worth a certain amount of points. The team with the most points at 7:00pm wins the grand prize. Teams are made up of 2 to 5 people. Each team must have a name. Your team should be like one of the gangs in the movie, the Warriors. Wear matching uniforms (this is not necessary but HIGHLY recommended), face paint, and make sure to scream a lot.
Items & Points:
Here is an example of some of the items that were on the list to the last scavenger hunt.
Everyone on the team gets cornrows and extended fingernails. Must be real cornrows.
One Person on the team getting a flat top with their name shaved into the back of their head.
Life size cut out of Eazy E.
Gay Porno magazine pre 1987
Photograph of team member kissing a stranger on the lips. 50 extra points if they are a senior citizen.
The Cause:
Forty items on the list are material goods that the Union Rescue Mission is in need of. The Union Rescue Mission houses hundreds of houseless families in downtown Los Angeles and is one of the few missions that works with homeless to get back on their feet. With the last scavenger hunt we were able to donate thousands of dollars of material goods and plan to do the same with this year's event.
THE SCAVENGER HUNT IS MEANT IS FOR EVERYBODY. WE DON'T CARE IF YOUR 14 OR 40. COME OUT AND HAVE FUN. AND AFTERWARDS THERE ARE VARIOUS AFTER PARTIES TAKING PLACE WITH DAN DEACON, POLVO, TRANS AM, PAINT IT BLACK & MORE. CHECK THE SITE FOR MORE DETAILS.
WAIT WAIT! Important question.
The last two years I went, I just bought my ticket at the door; however, this year it seems like there is much more hype.
Do you guise have your tickets already and is it a problem I don't?
