The PINOY INK

At the Muziklaban site there are a lot of events you can attend to. One it the Pinoy Ink. Pinoy actually means Filipino. This event is a Tattoo Competition. This is the event that I attended to because the main event of Muziklaban was too crowded, I cannot even go near the stage. So we stayed at the Pinoy Ink and mingled with the best tattoo artists and people with good skin arts.

This is how far I am from the main event

The Beer Guyz

These are the guys who sell Php20.00 cup of Red Horse Beer. They just roam around looking for people who needs beer. So it's not a hassle looking for a beer in this event, they're everywhere. 

The X-Treme Zone

Well this zone is for extreme games. Like bikes and skateboards. I have nothing to say about this because I wasn’t able to watch the game.

The Vocalist

I really don’t know this guy. He was at the beer stand trying to buy a beer. The guys behind me were talking about him. They said he is a vocalist of a certain band. Well, I’m not really sure what band it is, actually he told me the name of his band but I was just t drunk to remember it. I’m so sorry. 

The Bouncer

The biggest bouncer we’ve seen on this event. Well, not the tallest but the muscle is crazy.

The Other Side Of The Beautiful Story

The line to the “Restroom”. It takes 2 to 3 minutes before the line moves on. And if you can’t hold it, you’ll bow it. And after waiting for several minutes this is what you’re going to get.

The worst public toilet, ever. Well, what do you expect, it’s just a portable public toilet and you’re in the Rock Festival. 

Back To The Beautiful Side Of The Story

This is the crowd inside the Pinoy Ink Tent. There are bands playing and Tattoo Artist doing their works on the sides. Too bad I was not able to capture Bands who played that night. Or should I say I was busy drinking.

The improvised restroom. Well, due to the long wait of the line and the not so good scene inside the portable restroom, We’ve come up with a better solution. To let it out outside the scene.

FRANCO at The Main Event

At The Main Event

These guys are still waiting for the collaboration performance of Best Harcore bands in the Philippines. And this guy is so tired and drunk waiting. I think he thought he’s just in his home. Too drunk to notice.

Well, if you messed up, you’re out of the game. This drunk guy just want to have a fight. Bouncers are driving him off the area. Beers should be put inside the stomach not in the head.

Well, sometimes it’s better to let the beer ot of your system but not like this.

The beer guy still waiting for someone to buy his beer.

The Beer Stall

The guy who helped me carry the beer that we bought.

More beer for me.

Just Being Observant

These are the checkerd guys. Just being observant. There’s nothing wrong wearing long-sleeved checkerd.

It’s the checkerd boys buying beers.

One of the checkerd boys.

I’m out of beer, said one of the beer guys. And I think the other one is counting the bills he have.

Gadezki, left behind by his pseudo girlfriend. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I’m sure it’s not good. 

After the event there are a lot of mix emotions outside the tent. This is the line of people with different emotions. Drunk, happy, sleepy, and some are still looking for fun.

And it’s time to go home for them. Or should I say Home Run

Serve And Dream

These guys are supposed to be watching us not watching their dreams. Yes, they are the Policemen who supposed to be serving and protecting the citizen. Well, I guess it’s just too good to be true.
