Zoo Brew 2008
Joey and I went to the 2008 Phoenix Zoo Brew last Friday, April 11. It was festive and well-attended.
"Zoo Brew" is one of many Phoenix Zoo fundraising events. This year, proceeds go to the construction of a new night house for their Bornean orangutans. To attract the public, Zoo Brew offers sampling of food and beer, plus live entertainment. Performers last Friday were from Lost 80s Live, namely Dramarama (what?), When in Rome (of "The Promise"), Real Life ("Send Me an Angel", "Catch Me I'm Falling"), and A Flock of Seagulls. It was cool watching them up close! I was just a few feet away from them and took some not-too-good photos, though I have personal photos with the lead singers. Yeah, I am such a starstruck groupie!
Dahil naawa ako, bumili ako ng CD ng When in Rome. I said, okay lang, they're five different versions of "The Promise", plus two other songs. Turns out one of the songs, "Heaven Knows" was cut -- it had an abrupt ending (or no ending, for that matter). What the heck?! I didn't buy Real Life's CD anymore since I have their songs in our Real Life CD at home. And ... it looked awfully pirated, as it didn't even have copyright warnings or labels at the back. Ano ba 'yun? Talagang nakaka-awa naman sila. Heto na naman si Ms. Awa.
Prior to the performances, Joey, some of my colleagues, and I were at the private party of KPKX-FM (The Peak). As we were busy feasting on sushi and pulled pork, a man came up to us asking for a pen to borrow. Joey giggled, whispered to me, and said that with his hairdo, the man looked like he was from A Flock of Seagulls. And what do you know -- he was from A Flock of Seagulls!
When in Rome and Real Life are scheduled to perform in Manila this week, coming after Duran Duran.

Zoo Brew was a lot of fun. We were able to see some giraffes (giraves?) up close. I pitied the animals -- they must have been upset with all the noise and loud music. Joey and I left the event in good spirits -- he, after tasting different beers 5x; and I, after getting my taste of 80s music. Did I even do the beer thing? Beer stubs are wasted on me. What do you think?
