H-Artistry @ Opera

19th March

The 1st Artistry event of 2010 kicked off in the spanking new Opera, Sunway Pyramid. This time I had some help getting in with a media invite and had access to the pre-show press conference.


Before the press con started, drinks and finger food was flowing around so at least all the waiting was more bearable.


Our host of the night, Joey G, kicked things off by introducing the various acts performing that night..


The press con was a pretty short affair with the usual Q&A before wrapping up with a toast..


After the press con was over, I went down to the entrance to take some pics of the arriving guests. DJ Sarasa from Japan was obliging enough to pose for photos..


One of the highlights of Artistry is of course the lovely ladies..




I opened the flood gates by asking her to pose at the photo wall..


Within seconds, other photographers were swarming the photo area...


By 9pm, the gates opened and the registered guests started coming in..


Before the crowd starts moving into the main hall, I quickly went in and grab a table at the front of the stage..


I've never been to Opera before so I was quite surprised at how small the place was. The stage was so tiny!! The last one in Quattro was way bigger.


After waiting for more than 30mins, the pre-show begins with some acrobatic performance..




Then it was another long wait before the real show starts. To make it worse, the drinks stopped flowing. Something bout running out of clean glass. WT#...

When the stage finally lights up, it was a welcomed diversion from the packed crowd and cramped space. Bunkface took the stage and wasted no time bringing the house down with some solid rocking..








After Bunkface ended their set, it's was time to call it day and went out with friends for some food and drinks. Hope the next event will be better..
