---yesterday at blake's promo mini-concert, i decided to get their CD after a voice over announcement that a meet & greet will be held after the program. the mini-concert was over in about an hour & we queued to have our CDs signed. a staff member of the event brushed us aside & announced that ONLY those holding orange or purple M & G tickets will be allowed to have their pictures taken with the fab 4. mine was yellow & so was emma's (the girl i met earlier ). we inquired where the hell did those lucky people get their M & G tickets?! most of them didn't have any CDs at all. they just held on to the orange & purple stubs. so i decided to get the gentleman's attention to inquire about how this M & G will go about. my mind went in circles - this was absolutely the most 'out of this world' M & G i have ever attended.
1) yes, i bought the CD but i can only go as far as having it signed; no cameras or
celfone cameras allowed;
2) so where did those orange & purple stubs come from? according to the
staff, DISTRIBUTION OF THOSE TICKETS WERE NOT ANNOUNCED.
WHAT??? the lucky ones got them from the concierge. this was so unfair!
we bought our CDs for 400 pesos & yet we didn't have the opportunity to
have our pictures taken - all because of that color-coded stubs which were
only given to selected people- maybe friends & families of universal records
or members of the media.
3) there were so may posters lying around, ready for distribution but for some
reasons, were just given after we had our CDs signed. the posters were only
given on our way out of the activity center.
anyway, it was a fun mini-concert. and i gained another friend in emma bernardo, all the way from bulacan. the CD is worth listening to. and if blake will come around to have a concert this time, i'll go & listen to them sing & serenade their audience with their beautiful songs & wonderful blending of voices. bocelli? libera? yes, i'm now a fan of blake!
