Biglaang Gig Fronting Parokya At 70's Bistro...

around 4pm na yata yun nung sabihan ako ni Bolong na wala palang kasama ang Parokya that night sa 70's Bistro... since it was 70's Bistro, i didn't want it at first pero naalala ko na wala na pala dun yung isang guy na allergic sa loud volume so i decided na "what the heck... tugtugan na"... so it was a choice between Pillow and Candy, usually i'd go for Candy since madaling hagilapin pero i remembered na may sakit pa si Ecay so nagbakasakali muna ako sa Pillow... nagulat ako dahil instant reply with only Jann Paul hesitating because we haven't had any practice since October pa yata... pero i told Jann Paul na wala na yung kontrabida sa 70's and since kami lang ang front eh madami kaming matutugtog... so there, as early as 5pm we were all raring to go... syempre i had to go home muna from work kasi naka-sporty look ako... dapat pogi kasi Pillow nga... Apple kept bugging me as to what songs we were supposed to do so i texted everyone around 8-9 songs yata... hehehe, walang nag-reklamo...

So Dennis Candy dropped by my place to help me with my gear... around 9pm na kami umalis ng bahay para daanan si Rene sa kanila... Apple was having a hard time recalling the way to 70's so we met her at Kamias cor EDSA... syempre, kina Rene pa lang eh kulitan na until we got to fetch Apple... yung kulit namin, specially me and Apple suddenly disappeared when we caught sight of the unexpectedly large crowd that was present at such early time... Kinabahan si Apple at pati na rin ako... mas kinabahan ako when i got in because ang dami talaga and since it was 70's Bistro which isn't that volume friendly, i felt sure na magkakalat kami... it was almost 10pm na pero Jann Paul was still a long ways to go... nag sound check kami nina Ralph at Rene with Ex-candy Ruel pitching in... hehehe, walang nagrereklamo sa volumes namin so i felt a bit relieved and Relaxed... Jann Paul arrived at around 10:10pm and we wasted no time ang ripped thru about 7 songs... mas madami pa sana yun kung napaaga lang si Jann Paul... pero it was still worth it... needless to say, we pulled it off without the benefit of preparation... ang saya nga eh... we even laughed at some really slight boo boos we made while playing... after our set we went out for fresh air and saw Ecay, pormang lalaki at may tinatagong sama ng loob sa akin for letting someone (Mavi) sing in her place without her knowing, during last Saturday's Club Dredd stint ng Candyaudioline fronting for Moonsatr88 naman... I even saw another Ex-Candy memeber, Cuckooh (vocalist) whom i introduced to Ecay and Apple... a short while pa eh naglabasan na ang mga camera ng mga bandmates ko and ayun... piktyurans galore na... Pictures were taken everywhere... from the doors of 70's to the isaw-isawan by the corner, even while walking along Anonas going to Baliwag Lechon for refreshments... nag mukha kaming mga paparazzi... syempre si Ecay at Apol ang tuwang tuwa sa nagaganap na piktyuran...

we all went back to 70's for some more kulitans but Apple had to leave na din at around 12:15am since she have classes pa in a few hours time... Jann Paul followed a few minutes later then Ralph and Dennis... It was only me, Rene and Ecay who stayed to finish Parokya's set... before going home, the three of us went to Mr. Kabab to eat and we stayed there til about 3:30am... can't really help but express my happiness at how we did during that gig... syempre, mas masaya dahil kumpleto kami with Ecay and Dennis tagging along...

here are some pics i took infront of a Barbeque/Ihawan Kiosk, doon ko lang kasi naisip magkukukuha ng pics eh...






ilalagay ko nalang sa multiply yung iba if i find time and the will to do so...
