Happy When It Rains...

Hello everyone...

First of all i would like to thanks those bands who tried to male it to mayrics last saturday for Buzz Night!!! And also i would like to apologize to those who were present at mayrics for us (Candyaudioline) doing a rehearsal session on stage instead of performing (Our vocalist was expected to arrive late because her work was up until 11pm)...

Here's what happened. me and my candymates decided to practice at mayrics way before the regular playing time of the event... I arrived at around 8pm there were about 3 people seated. 10 minutes later Maggot arrived followed a little shortly by Carlo... by this time around 11 souls were inside i was a bit worried because the rain was really pouring hard. by 9 pm, espaƱa was beginning to get flooded. dennis arrived 10 minutes later and immediately proceeded to the stage to practice... we did feel a bit awkward because there was already a lot of people watching. i asked the guys a mayrics to turn-off the PA system and just let the vocals come out of the stage monitors... 30 minutes into the practice session people were beginning to leave. i took some time to text my othe bandmates mavi and the rest of pillow and some of the other bands that the streets goinging to mayrics was already flooded... we went on practicing for the next hour and a half... tether drummer Jigger and her grilfriend were the only ones presnt at the time we were practicing... by the time we went down stage, flood-water was already at the doorsteps of mayrics... i got text messages from My Science Project, Lazy Lorelei and Kings and Pawns saying that they too were caught in flood at different points leading to mayrics...

it was about 12 midnight and the possibility of get out of that area was next to impossible. we decided to wait for the waters to subside... it was a good thing that the mayrics staff was very accomodating. letting us fool aroud the place specially dennis who was having a telethonwith a "girlfriend" for more than 5 hours, during which we had a swell time making fun of him by talking to his girlfiend and making them quarrel about issues of dennis' being a gigolo hehehe... we also had and acoustic guitar jamming session wherein carlo showed us his wide array of knowhow in the field of music from condiman to mainstream pop rock, me and maggot did some pictorial sessions infront of the bar wherein i was able to take a picture of me creating a powerball... at times maggot and carlo took turns at napping while i scour the area for a possible way out but it was only until 6am that waters showed signs of going... we left mayrics at around 7am and went home...

that's all for now...

By the way, we'll be playing at 70's Bistro tonight...
