Akustrek 2006!

Tonight was UTREK's Akustrek Night -- a night when mountaineers and UTREK friends gather to drink beer and listen to acoustic (and non-acoustic) bands perform. And maybe even 'jam' themselves.

This year, Akustrek was held at One Sports Bar somewhere in Cubao -- #6 F. Castillo Street to be exact, near the Hi-Top Supermarket on Aurora Blvd. Bok and I arrived at a little past 9. By then, 2 bands had already performed their respective sets. There were some food and pica pica included with the ticket -- lumpiang shanghai, tasty fried chicken and pancit. 1 beer was included in the entrance ticket -- we eventually ordered some more. After a while, "Anonymous G" performed their set. The bassist of Anonymous G is one of the UTREK member's brothers. I liked their original songs (sort of punk rock), but Bok was bored. "Yun din kinanta nila last year eh," he said. Hehe, of course, di ko naaalala. There were also some games, hosted by the lovely Ms. Emily and Vangie. For more pictures, click here.

Discovery of the day: To be called a "sports bar", all you had to have were billiard tables. Wow.
