Wild Day Out 2008 - Part 1

Man what a long day this turned out to be!  I had been looking forward to this event for a while.  I was also excited because a lot of the bands we know were going to be performing, particularly Josie!  前週末香港でとても大コンサートがありました。AnDの芸の陣何人は演じた。ジョセイ、24味、ライアン。AnDはジョセイ為にたくさんプリントを分け与えたかった。それから僕はとても早い行った。ファンスからお手伝いしてもらった。

As long time Etchy blog readers will recall,  we printed up a bunch of Alivenotdead.com fliers for Josie a few months back.  We gave away a few thousand at the time, but we have a few thousand left! So I was looking forward to this event as a chance to give away as many as possible (both to promote Josie's blog on AnD and also to clear out some space in the office!) :-D

Luckily I was able to get some help from some friends, particularly from Lisamm's friend Caihao.  He and his friends from Guangzhou were coming down early to ensure they got a good seat at the show.  The show was supposed to start at 1,  but they got there at 10.

I woke up early to get there around the same time.  I was surprised to see so many people in line.  I guess the hardcore fans get here REALLY early... the front was dominated by fans of 'Fahrenheit'...  With some help from the fans, we were able to pass out about 1/2 of the fliers here.  As everyone had a lot of time on their hands, and it was frightfully sunny,  almost everyone was willing to accept the fliers. :-D

I went home at 11 and actually took a nap for 90 minutes before going back...  :-P


The event was held at the 'PopTV Arena'  which apparently is where Kayne West performed last year.  It was quite large and they had a fancy set-up... but during the daytime all I really noticed was the lack of shade! it was HOT. 

冬けど、天気がとても暖かった！太陽多過ぎ！ビールのPRイベントから、ビールが安かった、でも水がとても高かった！WTF! （僕は酒全然飲みません！）

Besides the lack of shade, there was another serious problem...  no outside drinks were allowed, and a bottle of water was HK$30! (at any 7-11 it would be $5 or $6)... and at times the line for buying food and drinks was like 45 minutes+. But because San Miguel was sponsoring it,  beer was only $10/cup (and no line).  unfortunately I don't drink alcohol, so I was screwed.

You guessed right,  that IS a giant inflatable Elvis walking around the crowd:

大エリバスですよ！

Here's a video of a few bands I took during the daytime, including Ryan:　ビデオを見て下さい：
