I was invited to attend a bloggers’ party (along with nutcase and oOgA) for the event a couple of days ago.
The event was held in a Starbucks, and was a rather informal presentation on youth lifestyle and some coverage on the festival.
They showcased some home-made videos too, but I fail to recall what they were about, actually. >_<
After the talk and video presentation, the organisers let all the attendees try out dancing and cosplay. Pretty basic stuff, really.
There was a video camera set up too, so attendees could spend half a minute voicing out their views about the festival, or anything else if they didn’t feel like talking about the festival in particular.
To be honest and totally frank, there wasn’t much to see at the party. However, if you take into account that the event was targeted towards the typical casual teen and aimed to get them to enjoy trying out culture possibly alien to them, they did a good job at that. =D
The attendees (including yours truly) didn’t leave empty handed, though. They handed us a goodie bag with (get this) beach wear to go along with the “Urban Beach” event held during the launch of the festival on the 3rd of July.
I’ll elaborate on the event later (heck I’ll post the entire event schedule) in a later post, fret not. =3
You can check out The Banzai! Effect’s coverage of the event; it’s a lot less wordy and a lot more image-spammy.

I take offense at the phrase “image-spammy”.
A picture speaks a thousand words. Our post just speaks alot. =D
Actually it’s just my excuse for not posting as many; most of my photos were blurry ^_^;
I am saddened that you didn’t get the joke…but then again it was pretty vague.
I was not invited T.T
