imagine.



The feeling of being so close to one of the best DJ's in the world is just indescribable.

Being at the front, the lights, the beats all combined together made for a surreal world.

However, never has being short ever posed such a problem. It's as if people couldn't see me. Which is probably true as almost all the guys were a head or more taller, and the girls were just way too drunk. The amount of times I got elbowed in the head, the countless times my poor Converse got stepped on and the amount of drinks spilled over me. Also the lack of fresh air as everyone was wayyy too sweaty. And the amount of guys who took off their shirt when they really really should not have.

All that aside, can't wait to go back to WHP for Skrillex in December.

sanctuary.

Spent practically the entire day at Curve.

For what?

Laundry Festival.

No. It does not involve doing laundry okay =P.

It's actually a music festival where loads of local acts perform. Started as early as 2pm and goes on all the way till closing time.

Didn't actually watch everything since it was outdoors. So kept going in and out whenever it got too hot. Some acts were of course better than others. Overall it's nice to know that the music scene in Malaysia is alive and kicking.

Something that did cross my mind. How many people there were actually there to enjoy the music or were they just there to support a friend?

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with supporting a friend. But what about the other acts? I mean, if you're only there to support your friend, it's likely that they'd go off after their friend's performance instead of staying on to catch the other acts.

It also means that only people with friends in the music business will be exposed to our local talent. Does that mean that those who don't happen to have friends in the scene will be deprived of the music? Word of mouth does work. To a certain extent I suppose.

Hmmm. Wonder whether this only happens in Malaysia?
