What did I do for Halloween?
Well, I retired my moose costume because I’d worn it a lot already and it’s freaking hot. I wanted to be something else but hadn’t really prepared so I ended up just being a mechanic because I have that flight suit from the surplus store I bought like years ago. It was convenient except for the fact that I had the hardest time ever just locating it; so, not very convenient except in the sense of not having to shop for another costume. I’m still trying to figure out what my next purchase should be in general.
Anyway, we went to the Rhythm Natives show at Out of Asia presented by FilAmNation.com and hosted by Red Oyster. Let me tell you the one thing you need to know.
Those people, the promoter and the director of the program suck. And while 'suck' is a general term that probably doesn’t encompass all the bad things I want to say about them, it’s succinct and applicable.
So, the Rhythm Natives were initially supposed to perform at 10:30pm but that got moved to 12:30am. But luckily, we found that out thanks to Twitter; so we don't get there too early. 1:30am rolls around and they still haven’t performed but finally, they start to prep. They’re pretty much set when the program director takes the mic from one of the emcees and says, “You’re not going on right now.” How f'd up is that? I mean by 1:30am, the place is pretty empty. I mean, it wasn’t full to start with, like really wasn’t full - with a $20 cover charge, I can see why not. There really wasn’t anything worthwhile there. The music was mediocre. The people they had before were pretty bad: there was this one ’rapper’ and his starting line was something like ’we’re going to set things loose like Jamba Juice’. While that may not be verbatim, he did in fact rhyme something with Jamba Juice. :( That’s just fail.
I was pretty damn hyped to see Rhythm Natives, too because they have a new set they’re doing and crap, I heard it’s the shit. I was so annoyed that they didn't perform. How very unprofessional of them. Halloween Fail.
We did eat at Chano's though. And Chanos is usually pretty awesome. :)
