It's almost been a week since the event and I already lost the high I got from that gig, thanks to work. Yet, upon exlporing the Internet and a few googling around, I found a lot of blogs describing the event as awesome! Well come to think of it, it was a blogger event!
So bloggers got altogether in one bar, drank bottomless beers and enjoyed the music altogether. Weeee!!!!
For the first time, Zoo played in a gig where the audience actually came to watch bands play, and listen to their music.
This time the audience did not go to the gig to watch or support their friend bands only, but they came to had fun! It was a whole night of rock n' roll.
As I read the blogs about the gig, I can't help but feel proud about my band. I can't help boasting what other people wrote about our band, rarely do you get to read things like these.

Let’s whip out our birds and masturbate to their music!” I would’ve dropped my pants and started flogging my dolphin in less than three seconds."

"They were great. Who ever said punk rock is dead? Zoo’s punk-influenced music is solid proof that it’s not. All of their four original songs were a healthy dose of good rock music that rightfully warmed up the audience and driving the anticipation for the other bands up high."http://blog.ademagnaye.com/2008/05/05/tmb-presents-bgrf-holy-crap-it-was-awesometastic/
"They played all-original songs and their punk-influenced music started off the concert pretty well and had the audience screaming for more. My favorite performance of theirs would be their first song Here We Are."
Sorry for boasting. I just couldn't keep to myself how proud I am with my bandmates, my friends and our music. We aim to play the music we enjoy and share it to everyone in every gig we play.
A big thanks for TMB for such a night!

My favorite performance in that night was Marco Palinar's solo guitar performance using his Loop Station. I am a modulation/Looper fan and listening to him play with his loops made my jaw drop! He's Godlike!

I also saw some of my old officemates in DotPH. Memories of a wacky OJT I had there popped up.
