Thrilled to catch The Smashing Pumpkins tribute band Porcelina on a big stage! As part of Esplanade's program at the Outdoor Theatre in this theme 'Songs We Grew Up With: 80s - 90s', Porcelina played two 45-minute sets at Esplanade Outdoor Theatre.
Took the dog along. Dogs aren't allowed at the steps/seats at the Outdoor Theatre. it's also too loud for their sensitive hearing. I wisely retreated to the restaurants. Our friends took a good table at Tomatillo; out in the open, facing the stage — we could hear the music well and see the big screen, but the volume was controlled. Although there was some weird lightning and overcast skies, the weather held. It was incredibly humid. Thank goodness for portable fans. Dog was very happy.
Porcelina played a great show! Kudos to the band for gritting through the crazy heat at soundcheck and the actual sets. The Smashing Pumpkins are coming to Singapore in October, to play a short set at F1 Grand Prix. I'm not bothered to go see them, not even if I have complimentary tickets to the races. But the husband is a huge fan, and he has been given a ticket. So he's going.
I was pleased to hang out with the friends for a drink and a chat. It was good to see many whom I haven't seen for a while too. We totally finished a barrel of beer at Tomatillo. Haha. I regretted drinking 1.5 pints of beer. I should have kept it at a pint max. Beer sh*ts. I got home early enough at 10.45pm for a hot shower, dog's bedtime feed and all. BUT my stomach churned till 2.30am ain't fun.
