To Listen to the Festival Online. Live Broadcast Radio 3 Sat and Sun, 11:30-10:30pm (HKT)
Turned out I was production assistant, which means, I run errands for everyone else. The most exciting part of the job description is I label all the DV tapes, hand it out to the camera people, and then collect them all, and put them in a safe place. I felt a little frazzled, as there are many cords to fix, things to grab, and the sound to check. I had such a great time.
When I finally sat down with some of my friends at the end of the evening she said, “So what have you been doing?” and I pointed out at the camera in the front of the stage, and said, “You know how that moves?” and she goes, “Yeah, I was looking at it, thinking how funny it looked going back and forth.” and I went, “It’s even funnier if you realize the reason it moves is that I am on my hands and knees pushing it…” “huh.” She went.
It was such a good day. I love being busy at these things, and much ado was made over my walkie talkie although in reality, I hardly used it.
Uncle Joe opened, followed by King Lychee, who rocked, (I finally said “Hi” to Riz), Nude was fantastic. DJ keon and Tommy was as usual fabulouso. It’s a bit sad that nearly all my favorite HK acts went on Friday as that’s the quietest day. I mean, I have no idea who the rest of the non HK bands are anyway, and nor does anyone else. I wish they pushed more local talent but hey, I am not running the festival. I am the girl pushing the dolly.
And I am off to bed.
