Super Happy Sunday

www.lomography.fr/homes/hervinsyah/notes/114193-festivals-o… Au Revoir Simone gigs in Indonesia www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI_5lth7usE --- www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbbiXN4HTos Sunday, March 23rd, 2014 I came to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia to see my fave Brooklyn New York base electro pop band, Au Revoir Simone, for the first time. I came early from my hometown Bandung (normally when traffic like always happen, Bandung - Jakarta take two in a half or three hour, but seems like God very nice to me, I came to Jakarta from Bandung only at one and a half hour). Jakarta has washed by the rain. After ask the security they said the concert will held 2 hours later from that time (3 PM). So I ask him where the closest toilet. Then he told me to go to the third floor. It's like blessing in disguise. After finish with nature calling at the toilet and spent the rest two hour waiting at Gramedia book store, suddenly when I read some book at the store I heard some familiar voice speak with American English language. Then I was running into the source of the familiar voice. Oh My Allah SWT, am I dreaming? One of my favorite musician walk through in front of me. Then I ask the man who walk behind her "excuse me sir, is she Erika Spring from Au Revoir Simone?" then the man said yes. And I ask him again "can I take a photo with her?" then he said "ask her" Spontaniously I scream her name while she walk fastly in front of me "Erika!!!" then she turn back and showing me her very beautiful smile then she said "oohh, hiii" then I moving my hand to handshake with her and said "hello, I'm Epin" And we shake hand, she hold me friendly and a little cheek friendly touch which made me very nervous because I never do that, only shake hands =*) Then suddenly another band member, Annie Hart and Heather D'Angelo come from behind and made me more surprise. "Hi, I'm Epin" spontaniously I shake my hand to the rest of the band member but only shake hand =) Heather and Annie is very friendly, all of them are very nice to the annoying fans like me. I'm the lucky fans. but I know they seems in a hurry because they walk fast. "Can we do a photo together?" I ask. But Erika said "Maybe we do a photo later" she said. Then I said "One minute please" and they ok with that. They are super humble and the best friendly international musician that I ever meet. When I took my Erika (my Horizon Perfekt named after my favorite musician, Erika Spring =) Heather commented on the Horizon Perfekt camera "oh, cool" For Your Information, Heather is a Bachelor degree of Photography in Parsons. Then she studied astrophysics but move to environmental study. Then I said "Can we do selfie" Then Erika said "Maybe you should ask him (she look at their Liation Officer) to take a picture" then I ask the LO "Mas, bisa minta tolong difotoin, tinggal dipencet tombol yang ini" then he snap me & the band and this is the best photo of Au Revoir Simone that I had =( The rest of the photo are blur, unfocus and underxposure also overexposure. It break my heart. I should stop take a picture with my none blitz/flash/hotsoe Horizon Perfekt camera at low light and back light condition.

    @blikka don't worry, maybe next year they will come to Madrid again. This year seems like Annie are busy with her son, Heather move to other town and Erika with her new band with The Strokes member and maybe she busy with her boyfriend (husband?) haha I'm too much stalking =p
