OMG live!


23rd September 2012: OMG live at The Actors Studio, a Malaysian Youtuber event supported by We Are Malaysian Made. This is Michael Chen from WAMM.


While waiting for the doors to be open one could buy merchandise…


…or watch a random impromptu yo-yo player.


Ming Han (left) and Joseph Germani emceed.


There was also Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob, singing the song to the music video playing in the background.


Dudes behind cameras.


A girl rushes on stage, in a reenactment of a popular video…


…revealed then to be Marianne!


(Also a reenactment.)


The stage is being set up for the next band.


Here’s Charis Ow!


The band is Skyward.


Dan Khoo pops on stage with fresh hair. Quite cool that you remember me from camera forums!


A random girl is called on stage for a game, I think.


And Talitha Tan proceeds to go full Derpina.


I didn’t catch their names, sadly.


Rizki and Jared of The GRIM FILM. I liked how among the current batch of Youtubers, these guys were probably the first to make videos about serious issues.


I really don’t remember what was going on here, but I think Talitha was asked to sing.


More people behind the scenes.


Swag to be given away!


Swag winner walks away with swag.


Swag is all in Shawn Lee’s mouth. He makes multiple layers of beatboxing sounds!


Jinnyboy, as he is now known, is a superstar. We’re both finding it funny how people swarmed for his autographs after that.


Reuben WJ Kang, the other half of Jinnyboy, who I knew initially through theater. Ironic that we’d meet at The Actors Studio, but without him going into a monologue.


Darren Ashley doing layers of vocal awesomeness with one Kaoss pad being a loop pedal and the other morphing his voice. He’s always a different act to catch, depending on what equipment he brings. Danny New plays violin in the background.


So yes, at the end, the crowd swarmed for autographs. Why wear sunglasses indoors, when you can wear a motorcycle helmet like Sam Insanity did?


Darren here’s a picture!


Charis and I.


Sam sans helmet and I.
