I’m arriving late and couldnt believe my eyes. We always talk 400 sumthing crowd, and here there are, (every type of person u can think of). There’s a cute boy with slightly advanced hairstyle, school children (hopefully they’re from secondary school), and even parents who seemed like dragged down by their children wanting to watch Hujan.
We’re simply not used to it. After a few rounds finding Yun and Qiela Rainbow, briefed by Izham I managed to sit down. There are people everywhere, and looked like they couldnt wait any longer. “Cheer up!” I mumbled. “Ramai sial….!” Jemek wit his disbelief face. He had been always so critical but positive minded. I can only grinned. We have approximately 37 sale booths and another 7 exhibition booths, so mathemathically it goes down to the power of network promotions. What makes it sweeter, the event is not in KL! I couldn’t think any of event not funded by well-published company, doing indie gig and art of this magnitude.
I hope everyone had a good day. I miscalculated the manpower tshirt. I end up giving an XXL Jebon an M tshirt! No wonder he’s so angry. =) He’s the hero of the day from my point of view dealing the stage flow and equipments while the imported bodyguard, Mr. Najib takes care of the security.
There are point for myself to remember tho:
1. No more sleeping ‘keru’. Every crew should have jobs.
2. Entrance to after-barricade area should be monitored closely. The stage is somehow crowded with assholes, in shape of cameraman and groupies.
3. Is there any ‘bomoh hujan’ u know?
4. Technical (plus one person - connecting stage and mixer tent). Security (if only we have 5 more Mr. Najib)
5. Soundman is experimenting on the day. I cant hear the tops, the sub woofer is ok. Will be alright if the band are all guest band!
Owh. btw. Retrodelic plays a beatles tune. Followed by Dewi and I was born to love you. We wanted to do some experiments so we played Rockstar Inc with Askar on vocal. I dont know but i think the crowd remember it and hopefully it’s a good sign.
Right before coming on stage my hp is nowhere to be found. That stupid asshole also give some msg to my contacts. May he live long enough!
