Burly people running up and down a very steep hill once a year carrying a massive woolsack. So yeah, not that exciting.

Having an awesome beach, the second most violent pub in NSW (Coogee is 1st) and for having the most shark-prone surf break in NSW.

Pigtown ? I bet it smells wonderful there! And I am guessing there aren't that many Jewish people living there I suppose?

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado.

So I guess it's best known for ... ummm ... OH! Fat Tire Beer, brewed by New Belgian Brewery, amongst a ton of other greats, but I don't think they're as well known outside of CO. Also the beers brewed by Odell's Brewing Company (they have great beers also, but I don't think they're as wide spread as Fat Tire).

Oh yeah, and that stupid balloon boy thing recently. Beer is better. I hope people know Fort Collins due to the beer, not that retarded publicity stunt.

I'll be watching their first few matches with interest, as I'm sure half of the media will be as well. Should be quite interesting to see how it all works out.
