I kinda remember this supposed to be showdown between Joric and Alex, and yun nga di natuloy.
Can somebody retell the story?
Baka nga one of the new contestants will keep on adding up delaying tactics and more stipulations na it becomes more impossible for it to be a reality.
So, can anyone retell?
Ok, ilang beses na ito tinanong dito at dun sa isang thread kaya sasagutin ko na.
In one of those flaming hot GC threads in July/Aug 2007, hinamon ako ni firemodel55 sa shootout. I agreed to the challenge. But then he set a date many months ahead, Dec 30/31, 2007, with matching full production, sound engineers, catering (di ako kasali sa bilang. LOL!), voting by palakpak, etc. Knowing it was Xmas holiday season and I surely have better things to do with my family, and was sure that the other parties he wanted to be involved (ie, Arie and Lito) would have plans with their families on those dates also, I disagreed on that date. I proposed and offered alternative dates. Actually, I was gigging actively at the time and gave him an open invite to come to the gig with his gear and we can do it then. He never showed and I never accepted that Dec 30 schedule he proposed. As he keeps saying, he does it on his own terms and his own rules only. Better believe him (so TS and others: all that whining about when, where, and how you wanna do it is all for naught).
Weeks after waiting for him to show up on my gigs, I realized I didn't want to be part of the 'circus' anymore. Indeed, I had nothing to prove to him or others. I'm happy with who I am and what I have, and I don't need validation from others, especially someone like firemodel55 who's not even into the same music as I am. In hindsight, I think it was foolish pride that got me involved in the first place. But I checked myself just in time. I think it was in another thread that I said I will refrain from participating in that shootout and the circus surrounding it. (If I find that thread, I will quote my post here)
If there's anything I learned from that episode is that all these proves and will prove nothing. A waste of time. A circus. Tama ang thread title: comedy show. Better if the two parties just walk away and woodshed or learn as many songs as they can till Jan 2012. They both win.
My bet is that it won't happen. But if it will, what a story eh? So I'll just watch this thread and suggest some things to make it exciting and fun.
