Concert Scene 1: Every Avenue, There for Tomorrow, William Beckett Live in Manila


I don't have any good stories about the time I personally met the artists because I didn't meet them at all. I'm not even a fan, but I came because my sister was obsessed about it - and we got both tickets for the price of one. So, on the evening of 12th June, the 114th Independence Day of the Philippines, I found myself freely and independently fist-pumping to sounds that had not, before thus, penetrated my ears.

In the car, fingertips away from the Skydome.
Feeling artista, ampotek!

Our gold tickets got us as far as the mosh pit that was further away from the stage (there were two; a steel barricade divided us from the VIP's). But, as the night progressed, we were conveniently told that we would be allowed to enter the VIP pit! Sulit na sulit!

I didn't take many pictures (pardon the crap quality) lest I would have failed to remember why I was there in the first place, which was to watch the actual show. I just don't know about those girls in the front row who insensitively provided us with a "TV" every time they brought out their camera phones to record every freaking number.

We had a taste of what it took to be front row when the concert was over.
Our actual distance from the stage. Sad face.
Perhaps, I'm just appreciative. No word can do the thought much justice. I wish it had been a full house. I would have been proud of that. I'd love to tell you more about it, but I am still in love with last night. Ergo, it's hard for me to say anything of value.
