In Familiar Territory Again: Duster and Ang Bandang Shirley
I’m counting my last weeks in the morning shift. ARGH.
So despite the fact that most of the people in my social networks in Twitter and Plurk went to gigs last Friday, I went on a Saturday. And I really think the only thing I missed is not seeing those people, and not the bands that night.
Duster
Anyhow, I went to Big Sky Mind to watch Ang Bandang Shirley, Duster, and a few other bands I don’t know. I only did get to shoot the aforementioned bands,
The Susan Fernandez Benefit Concert
Susan Fernandez
I know Susan Fernandez via her old 90s hits over LA 105.9, when songs by her as well as Buklod, Jess Santiago, etc. I also know her via her hosting stints for Paco Park Presents over at Channel 4. Once I got news of this benefit gig (to help finance Susan’s battle with cancer), and the roster of artists performing, two things came to mind: this was right in sight of my beloved camera group (which should give you a clear idea of the dominant age range haha), and that this was another refreshing change to my usual modern rock haunts.
Oh, and Lolita Carbon of the legendary Asin was performing. as well.

Interested to hear what Susan’s music sounds like?
The Photoshoot
Ayi and Jill, shot with a vintage Seagull 4A twin lens reflex camera with Fuji Superia 100 medium format film
I met Ayi through Multiply. She was a gorgeous self-proclaimed camwhore, of the nicer and tamer sort. We had a common friend, were both added on a Yahoo Messenger conference, where I told her I wanted to shoot photos of her. She loved the idea, but wouldn’t think her boyfriend would agree.
All that happened a few months ago, and I’ve kept in touch with her via online chats. I stopped pestering her about the shoot, but she mentioned one time that she finally gave up on her relationship, and I had to ask if it was now possible to proceed with the photoshoot. I remember her giving a hint of hesitation, but she did oblige. After that confirmation, and ironing out details, the day of the shoot was set. This being the first time we’d meet, I also did ask her to bring someone, and if that someone could possibly be Jill, her lovely best friend.
The ToyCon 2008 Ladies

So I did go yesterday to ToyCon at Megamall (photos from last year’s ToyCon). And all I have to show now are 5 photos of 6 awesome cosplay ladies.
Women of Terno Get Stripped 6/4/08
Mick of Outerhope
It wasn’t my first Stripped gig at Route 196, but there were two factors that ultimately lead me to going: Mick of Outerhope, and Armi of Up Dharma Down: I haven’t seen Outerhope perform, and the few songs I was able to scour over the Internets I suppose would hardly equal to actually getting the CD. I asked around, couldn’t get a copy. And Armi with a solo set? After hearing the new songs from the last gig they did, I was expecting wonderful things.
