jamming with milk 'n money and 6CM

after a wonderful party at beng's place, i came home to find that milk 'n money and ney (of 6CM) was hanging out at my pad. i found everyone in a trance watching incubus live at redrocks which i have to admit is a great dvd i bought at Music1.
we spent most of the night enjoying music the way it should be enjoyed by everyone.. drunk! it's hard to remember exactly the words to the songs we were playing. and it's almost difficult to differentiate if i was intoxicated by the alcohol or the saturation of talent in one room. it's sad though that ryan or chuck (6CM) hadn't gotten the chance to jam with us. running into the wee hours of the night (or was it day?), there was "the ever dependable" rey, "silently sipping on my beer" richard and "not so silently sipping on my beer" ney.. and myself jamming on the guitar like we were the music. it's so hard to put into words how much i enjoy being around people who are this good at their craft. normally i'd get star struck the way i normally do when i am around people who are famous but it's different with this bunch of people.. it's not that they're not in the same league as those other rockstars, it's just that there is an amazing reverse proportionality between their fame and ego. the more they become famous, the more they tend to plant their feet on to the ground. which is what makes them great. another reason i enjoy hanging out with them so much is because i learn to play their songs even before they release it as a single. and by the time their song plays on the radio.. i can say that i know that song by heart.. and i had these people teach me this song in the comfort of my own home. it's also pretty cool that they signed their names on the my sister's door. it's a sort of their hold to my pad that they are welcome there anytime they wish to crash over. sad though that i didn't get to last the whole session being drunk that i am, i took the wise advise of my better half to call it a night (again.. or was it day?).

itago mo ang ating ala-ala
nandito lang ako naghihintay
