And if you want to have the BIGGEST laugh you've had in ages, get along to Richmond Oval (the West Adelaide Footy Club) on Sun 19 Oct. Over the years Adelaide's prominent dance music personalties have put aside their musical differences to showcase their sporting prowess on the footy field. This year is no exception, and this time they are doing it for charity. If you think the Slowdown matches are funny, you ain't seen NOTHING until you see DJs, Promoters and MCs chasing a ball around the paddock after a big night... The money raised on the day will go to the Royal Adelaide Hospitals Burns Unit in light of the tragic circumstances surrounding the Bali bombing only one year ago. So get along and enjoy a day of barbeque, beats and *cough* ball skills, with a kick off around 2.30ish.
