you must be wondering what is happening up there so here goes
a couple of days ago i went to ARTE, an exhibition of "Indonesia's best performing arts, culinary arts, visual arts, film festival, art market, and music performance" to see one of my favorite local bands, Jirapah.
i was supposed to watch them with a friend of mine, but she was running late and it was minutes before they start performing so i went to the hall (where they would perform) and looked for seats/standing spots. i saw people just sitting there in front of the stage. CARPET-SEATED! it wasn't so crowded at the time so i sat somewhere in the middle with the best view. the emcees kept talking for about 5 minutes, introducing the exhibition and the bands and stuff. when they were finished, Jirapah came onstage, and out of reflex i just stood up and sat closer to the stage to have (yet) a better view. which i got very easily since not many people had arrived. including my friend, though, so i watched the performance by myself. warmed by the carpet, chilled by the air conditioner, calmed by the silence, eager from the noises. strangers around me, the nearest one was about one meter away from my left.
the only two pics i took (bad quality, mind you):
minus yudhis on the very right bcs i didn't see him as his outfit were black+black despite the fairness of his skin // [focusing on] mari and synth // the magical setlist which i didn't dare to ask them for. gotten via @wingnarada
