To celebrate my birthday, which was the day before, I treated my two closest friends to dinner and to the Friday night UP Fair. Usually sponsored by the University Student Council, the Friday night fairs are almost always jam-packed, with the next day being a no-class Saturday and all, and are almost always attended by the coolest bands in the country. I was a bit disappointed that the line-up for the bands was meant to make only the JJIBs (jumping jologs in black) jump for joy.
The bands who played that night according to the ticket (I got to stay only halfway through the concert because one of my friends decided her boyfriend is a better companion for the night, while the other has a Cinderella curfew and lives in Valenzuela) were: Queso, Chicosci, Itchyworms, Sinosikat, Datu's Tribe, and other lesser known bands. I had a bad experience with the hormonal, Emo-Punk worshipping teenagers during last year’s fair so I was lucky to have left the area before Chicosci played. Hale (which was not included in the original line up of bands) noticeably attracted the female population that night, including my very bored and jerky (probably because of the curfew) girl friend.
All in all I would call it a waste of money, except for the performances by Alay Sining and the band that played the song “Rage Against the Dying of the Light”. Serve the People!
