Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome D'ussePalooza (formerly HennyPalooza) founder Kameron McCullough to the Upper West Side! We talk growing up in Buffalo, NY, getting kicked out of elementary school, his time in Catholic school, high school football getting his D-1 scholarship offers, and seeing those pro football dreams evaporate in a split second. We discuss rebranding himself as a party promoter in college thanks to a friendship with Dela Yador, booking DJs like Mister Cee and Envy for college parties, relocating to New York City to work as a suit in finance, meeting music industry tastemakers and integrating himself into those circles, and taking a friends-only game night and turning it into a rollicking 20-city touring party. All that, plus breaking down Hennessy's non-involvement, competing events, the damage his friends have done to venues, jokes about all your favorite HP members, and much more!
