i usually don’t blog much about concerts… cuz you’re basically gonna hear the same things from other people. like bon jovi, justin bieber (foos, yes, i watched this kid live), thrice, some random j-pop artist (but hey, free tickets!), random viet singers in VN, and the first time i got to meet AM… even if i did talk about my experience at the forum. hahah, but i never actually blog-blogged concerts. but yesterday night was definitely something that i can actually just replay back in my head.
when i heard about this event, i was definitely excited. i was wondering if my parents were willing to lemme some money to go to this event. apparently, not. but i told my cousin that i was gonna go anyways. haha. so yes, i spent 40$ on this thing… haha… but i’m telling you - it was worth it! i asked mary if i could interview anh minh on her album, and anh minh said yes - OMFG, YES BABY! so i made up a lot of questions for this thing and thought “hey, why not have AMFuse participate this~” so i did… lalala, AMFUSE’S SECOND INTERVIEW, BABY!
i was the first to arrive… no duh, that was pretty stupid of me. so the lady in charge of the show (she wasn’t really fond of me… she kept giving me weird looks =_=) thought i was working for some magazine (my cousin told me it might have been “tre” (young)), but i corrected her that it was for a website… she probably didn’t hear me, so she let me in. before i even got the special treatment, one of the waitresses asked me if i wanted to drink… that damn tasteless sprite (literally… it was club soda) was $3. <_< never in my life… will i order a drink there. that’s freakin’ pricey w/ stupid service like that.
but i sat there… for a good 1.5 hours waiting for the show to start… haha, c’mon, viet people are always late. they were supposed to start at 8:30, but i guess many people knew that won’t happen. at 9:30, the singers finally arrived. haha, i was texting to mary about how bored i was. when i saw them arriving, i texted mary about seeing them and then mary told me that AM wanted to see me in the backstage - backstage? wait, wouldn’t security hate me? hahaha… but i needed to go to the bathroom. after i went, i looked back and saw that AM kept coming in and out. i felt really bad for her, so i quickly went backstage and asked, “anh minh?” she turned around and we greeted each other with a hug. she then introduced me to cat tien and andy. cat tien was very friendly while andy was like, “erm…” haha…. but i was cool with it. anh minh was the first to sing, so i went out to support her. the crowd was really tough - no one danced really until she started to sing a chacha song.
after she was done, we jumped into the interview. the interview was awesome - i really didn’t care how long it took - the interview was really good since she actually got to talk how long she wanted and stuff even though she said that she was gibber-jabbing the whole time. i don’t mind. hehe… at one point, andy was trying to dance and then noticed i didn’t have a camera - hahaha! he was disappointed. sowwi. >.<;;
when the interview was done, andy got me one of the drinks that AM was drinking - it wasn’t that strong, AM promised me. so i trusted her. it was really good… but too bad i couldn’t finish it. XD andy ordered some shots for us, and i havtah admit - AM and i got tipsied, but havtah admit - it was an energy booster and made the night really fun. there was one shot that tasted like chocolate milk… but then it really started to hit. haha, and then there was something called the hulk… it was green and strong… so AM and i shared that. man, andy was like, “i’m not responsible if something happens.” so he kept giving us these shots and stuff… XD it was hilarious. i turned red after laughing too much - not from the alcohol really. but AM kept asking me if i was okay, and sure i was. hehe.
when it was time to sell CDs, i was gonna buy one from AM for support, but she just gave me the poster and CD for free. laaaaa~ i felt really bad though, but she told me it was nothing. she really didn’t care about the money since she just wants support. on average, she usually sells 2 CDs at these things, and damn… i felt worse! she sold 3, so i should’ve bought it. grrr…. i was gonna buy andy’s CD, but i really dunno why i didn’t ask him if i can have it. haha. might be cuz i was trying to gain consciousness.
there was more sets for the singers to sing and so… i kept holding onto the poster and CD… but when i really needed to go to the bathroom, i had to put the poster down somewhere safe… but at the end of the night, anh minh found it there and looked disappointed. DAMN! i felt sooooooo bad. ;-;
so when the night was ending, everyone was talking about eating pho. anh minh asked me if i wanted to come, and honestly, i guess i can make it up to her for it. so i said, “sure…”
the finale was really amazing with these random medleys coming all at once. i felt bad for the drummer. but then… the band wasn’t that good much either… felt so bad for AM, CT, and AQ. but i’m sure they’ve been through that before… backstage, CT actually admitted that this was probably the worse band ever since they were off key and off beat. dang…. you must be that horrible of a band to do that. everyone agreed to that, and i could tell that the singers were having some troubles trying to keep the band to follow them. it is their show.
i didn’t realize that i was gonna be driving this person… omg… x>X so i tried to be extra careful… made bad first impression on driving when i went over the line at a stop light. so AM wore a seatbelt. felt soooo bad… but honestly, it was nice to actually know a lot more about her, personally. i love how she can entertain me with some deep thoughts, cuz i usually have quietness in the car… so it was different. but i was trying my best to drive as carefully as possible. blah… i’m a horrible driver… especially at night. so we finally reach there, and i havtah’ admit - worst parker ever. someone tried to be cool and reverse-parked. whatever!
so apparently… there was no pho… but there was chao! so we ladies opened the containers and the others handled the cooking. CT, AM, and i went out to find some drinks… i got che… while everyone got nuoc dua (coconut - i just find it sound better in viet, haha). definitely weird. we joked around how the workers will come in the next day and freak out because things would be empty and the place would be a mess. haha… man, it was funny. the dinner was nice though. i got to know a lot more about the music industry and behind the scenes. really nice too. but no one cared about my presence… the drummer was white, so he didn’t understand anything until andy told him about the wonders of viet food. i wanted to LOL’d so bad. XD just for the record, i’m usually quiet when i eat cuz that was how i was raised. my parents told me that a quiet person is more respected. so i probably creeped andy out cuz he asked AM to sit with him…. even though he DID take her seat, haha.
after dinner, i had to leave with the singers… cuz it was gonna be creepy for me to sit with the other people. like literally… so i left with them and hugged AM and CT good-bye. did i mention that they call me baby kim? haha… well, the interview sounded really clear on my iPod, so tomorrow, i was thinking of typing it all up and making a video with subs out of this. gonna take awhile.
but yeah, it was a really fun night. i was so happy that i went. gotta take chances, ya’ know? i know my parents are gonna kill me once they found out, but hey - AM and CT told me that they’ll give me a call when they visit FL again so we can chill. so i don’t think my parents will say no to that. haha. i love those two girls… andy was quite an entertainer, hehe. ^^;;
