Last night, I indulged my young brothers (the twins) and I went to the city where their band played. Raine and I ended up in a long table with youngsters (aged not more than 20). Raine had a blast of course, he really felt he was the same age as my brothers’ friends.
From 7- 12 midnight, he had 4 hotdogs on stick, some chips and 2 bottles of iced tea. I had 2 12-oz.-bottles of Coke, just so I won’t fall asleep. He he.
The place was like a beer plaza , reminded me of UPLB’s Feb Fair — except that the booths are of local stores and not of student groups. Everyone on all the tables surrounding us was groups drinking beer, cheering and jeering to the performances on stage. Raine had his own share of cheering in the performances he liked. I suffered listening to 15 local singers! Nobody told me before hand that there’s going to be a singing contest…before I can witness the band play.
Anyway…I was a good sport of course. It wasn’t my kind of music, but I enjoyed the band’s performance. Maybe lackng in some showmanship, but they sounded pretty good. One of the twins is on base guitar, while the other is the band ‘manager’! Ha ha ha.
It’s not with any of them to brag, but it turned they made it as finalist to the battle of the bands on Saturday. I told my mother she should go then. She passed on last night’s gig because she said she didn’t want to leave the house empty. For all I know she wanted some peace and quiet because the band has been practicing here for days without end. He he.
Next time? I will push her to go. I want some peace and quiet too!
Ha ha ha.
Well…I’m just happy that they are expressing themselves into something artistic and fun. I don’t want anymore girl woes. They don’t drink, don’t smoke and are not into illegal substances. So I guess they’re doing fine. Just lazy at times but better their friends hang out here than them hanging out somewhere else and we can’t see what they’re doing. At least that’s what my father always said.
And I am sounding a LOT like him!
