Switchfoot Manila

so i was flipping thru YouTube videos when i chanced upon a clip from the Switchfoot Manila concert last Sep 10 at the Cuneta Astrodome. i realize it's way past overdue to blog about the concert. i don't even have nice pictures because banne and i only had our phone cameras along then. so you will have to live with my lame-ass pictures. anyway, here are some facts about the event (from what I remember):

1. mosh-pit tickets are way better than any other seats in the house. yes, your legs and feet will suffer irreversible damage from standing for more than three hours, but at least Tim Foreman can see you from where you are.


2. Jericho Rosales and girlfriend Heart Evangelista were behind banne and me the whole time.

3. Jerome Fontamillas is Filipino. he proved this by downing a balut in the middle of the concert (you can call it intermission). all the other guys didn't like the idea for obvious reasons.

4. before the concert, banne and i were thinking what we will say to Jon Foreman in the event we had to talk with him. i came up with: Hello Mr Foreman. I have a quotation of you that I use as a signature since forever. it sounded like i'm a stalker. (fyi: the quotation has gotten me published in Cebu Daily News hahahha... thanks Jason!)

5. Jon Foreman is awe-inspiring. he repeats one overriding theme in his songs and speeches: do not settle for an ordinary life. believe in something bigger, something more significant.

6. the Switchfoot concert is better than Jars of Clay's. I know, i know... i can't play favorites with these two bands. but i need to get that one out in the open.

7. Christian bands rock.
