Where’s Gavin?

May 6, 2010 @ 21:27 By Gavin Webber 18 Comments

Today, I had the privilege of attending the Replace Hazelwood rally on the steps of the Victorian State Parliament.  We yelled, we talked, and hopefully some of our politicans listened.

I have some video footage of the event that I am processing at the moment, but until I get that up on YouTube, here is a little game with a prize for the winning comment.

All you have to do is be the first person with a comment accurately indicating where I am in the photograph below and what I am wearing.  The first correct answer will win a copy of the book, The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell.  Unfortunately, I can only afford to send it within Australia, but don’t let that stop you from playing.

Remember that you can enlarge the image by clicking on it!

    Are you sure you were there?? Is that you behind the lady in the orange tshirt, wearing the brown cap? Or the guy up the back in the black cap? Gosh, I give up, maybe you are the guy near the statue, wearing some sort of white wig & beard?!?!

    I’ll second dixiebelle’s choice of the guy up the back wearing the dark cap and red jumper on the right of the wind vane.

    Hmmmm, I’ll go with the guy in the brown cap behind the lady in orange. Someone else guessed that first though, so no drama from me.

    Gavin, I’ve been listening to your podcasts with your boys and laughing….I have two boys but they’re only wee fellas right now, makes me think about the future with hope, and hoping I can keep my sense of humour intact for what will inevitably come 🙂

    I second dixiebelle, I think that you are wearing the brown cap behind the person in the orange tshirt.

    Gav, I’ll forfeit any entry, as I just don’t know, other than guessing! Take the correct answer after me!!

    BTW, I think I’ve seen you in a brown cap like that before, is why I thought it was you behind the lady in orange!

    You’re the bald guy walking past Parliment House ignoring the large group of people holding placards and one suspicious looking dude with a funny brown cap.

    Wally is nowhere to be seen.

    Hi Gavin – I reckon you’re wearing the windmill!

    But I know I can’t win if I’m right, as I live in NZ. So if I’m right, I ask that you donate the book to your local school library.
