What can $8 buy you these days? Two gallons of gas? A ticket to see The Love Guru? In a word, hardly anything. Might as well spend it at the F Yeah Festival's Scavenger Hunt in Los Angeles on Sunday. The prizes are just too good to pass up.
According to the press release, here are some of the demands from last year's list:
- 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 cutout of Ezy-E.
- Photograph of team member kissing a stranger on the lips. 50 extra points if they are a senior citizen.
Good times! The prizes this year are also strangely awesome.
- $500 cash
- One hour to play whatever you want on KXLU 88.9 FM, Los Angeles.
- The opening slot on Mess With Texas 3 + $200 cash to get to Austin to perform. Your band or a band of your choice (your best friend's band) gets to play.
- Five gallons of whiskey, or a keg of Pepsi or fruit punch.
- A Gibson guitar. For real.
- Four tickets to Mogwai at the Wiltern and four tickets to Hot Chip at the Wiltern.
- A package of vinyl records from In the Red Records.
- A Crystal Antlers concert in your living room.

You never know. You might kiss the senior citizen of your dreams.
