I can't believe how time flies so fast. It's been seven days since my wonderful Tanduay First Five experience. Since obtaining tickets to the event was so easy, there were too many people, including the not so civilized ones. To add fuel to fire, the weather was so uncooperative. My companions did not bother going in anymore. I'm sure glad they decided to ditch the event. There were a lot of people who caused trouble and got arrested.I was lucky to have been spared from the chaos, though. I thank my friends Renee Rolette Tan and Maria Carla Estella for squeezing me into the VIP area as a pseudo-photographer. I hope you still found my photos acceptable. haha
The set-up of the event was weird because there was a VIP area at the backstage but the front stage was blocked. It didn't make sense because what would you do in VIP area when you can't watch the concert? Honey and I made our way to the front stage even if it was clear that the bouncer wanted to kick us out. I guess our nonchalance simply overpowered his arrogance. hahahah
I wasn't able to take photos of Sandwich because of the heavy rain. Good thing Raymond Marasigan joined the other bands. Did I mention that he was drunk? While he was on his way to the backstage, we bumped.. I mean he literally run us over and didn't even apologize. Chicosci had so many gimmicks, I mean too many. They sang Taylor Swift's and Justin Bieber's songs. They also brought along a Michael Jackson impersonator. For me, Chicosci was okay. Miggy tried to interact with the crowd. There were some who dissed him but he didn't seem to mind.
I don't really like 6 Cycle Mind, but I commend the vocalist because he was able to control the people who were already behaving badly. He sang an Eraserheads song, I think it was Alapaap and everyone enjoyed it. I bumped into him at the backstage but I didn't ask for a photo with him. Okay, I'm so mean. haha
Kamikazee rocked the night. Jay was his usual entertaining self. He was so funny and he connected with the crowd. He asked a cross dresser to come up on stage, who gulped and finished his Tanduay. Jay then told him/her to kiss him anywhere he desired. He/she kissed him on the neck. It was so funny. We later found the cross dresser, who passed out, after the show. He/she was lying on the floor with puke all over the place. Tanduay's first aid squad was useless. One woman just pointed a flash light at him/her and poked her. What a jerk! Jay came and their guitarist Jomal was the one who help him/her sit, saying "Bumangon ka, maraming tao. Nakakahiya." Awww what a great guy. I think he was concerned especially because he/she was wearing a short skirt.
The finale. The main reason why I insisted on going to the event despite the madness was Bamboo (the band). I have been a Bamboo groupie since college and I always try to attend their concerts here in Cebu. To my dismay, Bamboo (the vocalist) acted like a diva. He went out, surrounded with bouncers, when everything was ready. Posing for a photo with him wasn't allowed. During their turn, he didn't interact with the crowd. I wasn't really surprised because Bamboo does not usually ad lib, but during that night, he looked pissed. I guess it had something to do with the lousy sound system. Oh well. What can I say, he's a great singer.
I didn't get my dream photo with Bamboo (I was able to pose with Bamboo in the past, but the picture quality sucks!) but at least other artists were kind enough to pose with me. Most of all, I was able to watch a fun concert with my friends and take tons of photos. Overall, it was a great night.
