\nI did not steal these glasses from the IMAX theater. My colleague did.<\/p>\n


\nBehold, the new wing of Avenue K<\/b>! The place has a certain educated middle-class art savant appeal about it. Some walls are unashamedly black. This isn’t Starhill.<\/p>\n


\nThere was an art exhibition of sorts, where one of the exhibits was this trippy fractal. In the background, spacey synth music played. I recognized it as Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here<\/i>. Doesn’t saying that you know Pink Floyd<\/b> make you loads cooler among your music elitist friends? Any rocker can know Jimi Hendrix<\/b>, but David Gilmour and gang? And so, my MSN nickname is “So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell?<\/i>” (It’s the first line of the song.) Yes I intentionally picked that line because it looks like it was inspired by Constantine.<\/p>\n


\nHair<\/i>loom. No, really. A dress made of hair.<\/p>\n


\nWe now teleport to The Curve<\/b>, a trendy upmarket shopping mall which has blue lights adorning its sanitized version of Petaling Street. Captain’s log, 17th February 2005.<\/p>\n


\nThe last time I had this chocolate cinnamon roll was at the previous KLue Chillout Series<\/a>. This time round, it was called the KLue Starbucks Music Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nSei Hon<\/b> was your regular folk singer in the key of G Major. For some reason, my exposure to acoustic guitar virtuosos has made my appreciation of heart-felt singing\/songwriting dwindle. In less polite terms, I didn’t take any interest in his performance.<\/p>\n


\nLied<\/b><\/a> was more interesting, with rock-fied guitar chords and melancholic (but angry) vocals.<\/p>\n


\nQings & Kueens<\/b><\/a> were back in town. The guitarist now sported a most appetizing, wall-paint-color retro guitar. It took me a while to figure out it was an Ibanez Talman Artcore series<\/b> from its logo, as ‘Ibanez’ wasn’t written anywhere.<\/p>\n


\nNow that’s what I call a fruit shake.<\/p>\n


\nThe one-night-only guest, Reza<\/a> melted hearts again<\/a>. It seemed that the crowd was anticipating (as much as I was) his finale, that jazzy song with the cute little blues riff. They cheered before that. Tracy<\/a>, you missed the shiznit.<\/p>\n


\nReza had a trick up his sleeve. A setlist behind his guitar!<\/p>\n

Again, ask me if you want the videos and un-Photoshopped pictures. I have a DVD burner. I am a nice person if you are nice to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
