80000 bottles of beer, 6000 people, 500 policemen, 56 arrests, 18 hours of madness, 1 street (Aberdeen) - Queens Homecoming 09

This post was brought to you by: Queens Homecoming 09.

hello everybody.. just want to share with you the wonder that is homecoming over at Queens!! we are supposedly (in)famous in Canada for our homecoming and just a little background information.. we are in Kingston but riot police from Toronto and horseback policemen from Quebec are here to celebrate with us as well!! =)

The day started with an awesome homecoming match! American football is really one boring game with lots of stops and change of teams (though Jason would disagree being the semi-pro he is by reading some Japanese comic on it! HAHA) But all in all, it was an entertaining one where you get to swear at the referees, curse at the opponents and of course be part of the Homecoming crowd at Queens! Also, homecoming gives a warm feeling to the heart as you see all the students cheering for the "seniors" from many many years ago!

Highlights of the match include:
1. American football
2. Streaker
3. (Where's) Wally
4. Cheerleader whom did a great improvisation when he needed a drum with but had none
5. Purple Engineers

Then came nightfall and this is when Kingston as a city single-handedly gives beer executives in Canada their bonuses for the year!! hah.. the streets was just littered with beer bottles / cans. The crowd estimated at 6000 will usually crowd Aberdeen Street and just flood the place.

Highlights of the night include:

1. Drinking
2. Seeing people drink
3. Talking to drunk people whom know me as David
4. Seeing people get fined
5. Drinking
6. Water fight with the free water that's being given out
7. Seeing people get arrested
