Fall Out Boy Night 2

First band: Zylke 

While Paul and I have already been to and been a part of a number of gigs and events there are still times when I find myself in that 'Aha' moment and just know that this is it, this is the reason why we do what we do and for Fall Out Boy Night 2 that was when Bernard Sicat from Red Paradox called out to the crowd in attendance, he said Fall Out Boy family and for me he was right. 

These crazy kids who went to an album launch in Odyssey a few months ago are now one big crazy family who share the love for both music and Fall Out Boy. 

You can check out the original event announcement post here. 

The crazy but talented boys of Along Van Buren

Taking things in their own hands, these crazy kids (Yes! I will always say crazy kids because they are crazy kids and whenever I'm with them I feel like a crazy kid too!) organized this event all on their own, planning through long threads and group chats on Facebook amidst crazy jokes and antics.  

I'm really amazed as to how a young age is not a hindrance to today's generation of kids in pursuing their dreams and passions, I know that I may be talking like an old person but I am one of the oldest if not the oldest in the group. Your What is your age? poll on the group is a constant reminder of that. :p

Speaking of age - let's talk about someone's age for a change - Freedom Bar! Well Fall Out Boy Night 2 was held in the iconic and historical Freedom Bar as what I said during my hosting duties, many rock stars have performed on the very stage where these kids are performing now. 

So a bit of trivia - because I'm such a history nerd Freedom Bar in Anonas, turned 17 last August 23, 2013 and is the same anniversary as the Philippine's cry for freedom on Biak na bato, thus the name and patriotic interior design. :)

The Pull-It Surprise

I always enjoy band night because it is like a reunion of sorts where friends get to see each other and have a great time enjoying music. Where they can forget school deadlines and work problems and just let off some steam and enjoy music and now they get to do that with a family of sorts that have bonded over memories of a great concert, sharing meals at ungodly hours and flooding each other's  timelines on social media sites.

Red Paradox 

Of course aside from seeing friends and hanging out it's all about the music and sharing the same love for the same band and indeed we all celebrated through the music from the night until the early morning. Guys! You just have to see Red Paradox's acoustic take on 'What a catch, Donnie' I was in tears after. I can't spoil it yet! Will be posting a video of that soon!! :3

Just wanted to say a big thank you to our sponsors, especially to Odyssey for giving us prizes for our games and trivia questions during the event. :) 

Of course after all the bands have performed it was time for Open Mic and everyone just loves open mic, its a chance for any one to come up on stage and be a real rock star for a song. :) 

Definitely a second round means a third one is just around the corner right? And well, let's just say that there are sparks in the air for an even bigger and better Fall Out Boy night ;)  

The EPIC group photo!
