Amanda is Famous in an Internet Kinda Way

Before she moved to Austin, Amanda lived with the hipsters in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This is where she met Von. Von is a recording artist who goes by the moniker VonVonVon. He made a song called House of Von, and because Amanda is a dancer, she got to be in the video. (She's the one that shows up on the right, in the t-shirt that says VON.)

Rumor has it Von never breaks character -- like, ever. So watch the video, then picture talking to a person that really acts like that. All the time. Even when you're trying to order a couple beers from a cocktail waitress without sounding like a total douche bag. Amazing. I'm equal parts thrilled and disappointed that Von (presumably) has no plans to re-ignite the late-80s German-inspired house scene in Austin. Because this city could totally use that kind of kick in the ass.
