Sadly Witty, we are actually opening for Kiwi Dan's band "Bob Viagra & The Terrorists". Jesus wept.

MW: There will most certainly be silveries there.

There will also be exotic pole dancers.

Hope to see some of you down there around 8 or so...

A shame that Raspberry Ripple & the Y-Fronts won't be performing.

I thought u didn't like that fest.

I hope I can see you around 10ish? My sis's friend just came from saff afeca, gonna have dinner with them tonite. If not then I say break a leg.

I better wear my silveries friendly hat then, lord knows what will happen if I don't look friendly.

I don't make sense.

lol

Nothing sad about it sam..you have to earn your stripes..kiwidan's got the street cred in that area

Well, our set was shaved down time and time again, first to 6 songs, and then 5 songs, and then finally a pathetic 3 songs. I do feel somewhat satisfied that we played our three heaviest, noisiest songs and managed to cause two fights to break out in the mosh pit in front of the stage.

I do believe that's the first and last time we'll be playing at the Jaksa Festival. Hardly worth the drive considering that I practically live in Katmandu.

Thats a bit shitty, who was organising the gig?

How did Raspberry Ripple & the Y-Fronts go down?

as usual organised by thugs from outside jaksa. Whole event was just an excuse for a giant cigarette promotion. For some reason okusi was not invited to audit this year.

Yeah, I thought so too. I'm not sure who the hell organized it, but they should pull their heads out of their asses.

I was none too pleased when Afro-Rocker-MC-guy started shouting "Last song! Last song!" after our second track we played. The fucking idiots probably don't even realize that pulling this sort of shit doesn't exactly cause bands to want to participate again next year.

Do you do live on-stage auditing Kuku? Whilst everyone slam dances to the sound of you tapping away on a calculator?

no, my audits are strictly behind-closed-doors affairs. however, i would certainly be prepared to audit the quality of the bands that are playing. problem is, i suspect they would be "unauditable", much like my official assessment of last years festival finances.

Hmm, that explains the billboard.

Damn, missed it. My bad.

My contacts tell me Bob Viagra & the Terrorists kicked major Jaksa ass, then were followed by a whiny band

Silda and the Shouters?

Please stop this abuse! HELLOOOOOOOOOO... Secular Nation?

jakarta links eat links.JL eat dog turds off the school playing field.

Ah, another gem from the normally astute Witty Handle

Heh heh.

WH dog turd action.

There was an interesting incident last night on jalan jaksa. Two foreign gentlemen somehow managed to manouvre their (identical looking) cars through the glass facade of the ex-pool hall next door to romance cafe. More amazingly, it appeared as if the cars had been intentionally parked inside the building, perfectly parallel. Needless to say, it drew quite a crowd of onlookers in addition to the perpetrators and the law. I only managed one photo on my dodgy handphone.

Black as the ace 'o' spades they were.

clearly the cars were. racial prejudice and respect for my fellow continentals prevent me from revealing more about their drivers.
