Soleo Misadventures to Buenos Aires
I was invited to play bass guitar for the girl-fronted band Kill Sophia to play a beach gig in Soleo Beach resort….. about an hour and half drive away from Bacolod down south.
La Salle’s Annual Summer Splash. All students are required to attend….. so there were at least a few thousand students hittin the beach.
So i was looking forward to going bwahahahahaha for the obvious reason that I was single and was on the hunt anyway.

Rawr.
Well the Kill Sophia thing didn’t push through at the last minute because Panoot had Hepa A (harharhar) so she couldnt make it to the gig and sing but I was nonetheless picked up to play for a project band and we played Head Automatica covers for the heck of it.

Obviously I’m fishing for chords cause I keep forgetting how Graduation goes.
Who cares. We all got drunk anyway.

During the lunch break, we spent an hour trying to break into Erwin’s pickup because he left the keys inside. And all our food and gear was inside the pickup.
Yay to Subby!

Albert and Subby scouting for hot chicks
After the Soleo Gig, Albert, Erwin, Errol, Orven and me crammed into Erwin’s Pickup together with Marian (Orven’s girlfriend) and her friends Jackie and Karen.
Mission: To get drunk and party somewhere. We were so not going home yet.
So we packed our coolers with alcohol, pooled cash for gas and we decided to drive all the way up to Buenos Aires (a really really long drive up the mountain) from Soleo beach so we could pitch a tent there.
Unfortunately, two hours later the Buenos Aires management wouldn’t allow us to pitch a tent. They wanted us to rent a cottage for at least Php 1,200

Orven, Errol and Erwin at Buenos Aires two hours later. We spent gas money just to drive up there and take pictures. asdf
WTF
So we drove again down the mountain all the way back to the city to Pavilion near the port area…. then to Errol’s house then finally after being on the road for X number of hours we all crashed into…. Jackie’s house in Eroreco.
Finally.
So as to keep the camping and the outing spirit alive, we pitched a tent in the garden area and pretended to be somewhere else.


Etc etc etc, we all had fun, bonded a bit, got drunk, lumbernecked and slept at around 5am.
For more pictures of the entire misadventure clicky here to go to my Multiply account . I unfortunately ran out of batteries in my digicam so most of the stupid drunken fun wasn’t caught on cam.
We’re planning to go on another real road trip… this time to APO island before classes start.
Wohoooooo can’t wait to go on this road trip.
