Random thoughts Stray memories

I just attended the outdoor acid jazz and DJ sets combo at Fort Canning Green. Basically, the gig is on a gentle grassy slope and the stage is at the bottom of it. People have to dance awkwardly on the slope in order not to slip, but it's still manageable. Sad to say I'm not really keen on the live sets from Incognito, James Taylor Quartet and Soul Bossa Trio, but I really enjoyed the DJ sets from United Future Organization and the Freestylers & MC Navigator (rapper and DJ collaboration). I missed some performances near the start though.

To summarize:
1. We sat on the slope behind a guy who kept smoking awful cigars, but didn't shift cos of the vantage view. We're stupid, yes.

2. We got so bored waiting for the last DJ set to come on at 1 am, we went to rest on a bench outside the men's toilet. For at least 20 minutes, we checked out the guys who visited the loo. There were 3 guys with dreadlocks. There was an asian guy who tried to sneak a caucasian girl into the men's toilet (cos there was a long queue snaking outside the women's toilet). The security guard caught them though.

3. Someone stole the purse of a musician from Soul Bossa Trio, and his/ her passport was in it. Freestylers' set was interrupted repeatedly by pleas for the return of the passport. I hope the passport was found and the musician managed to fly home in time.
