36 Things Gig-Goers May Or May Not Have Experienced

    You've probably lost track of how many nights you've survived on the one free beer stub.

    Anyone who tells you that OPM is dead, is lying.

    1. Nag-announce ng gig, tapos ginto yung line-up!!!!

    2. But then, ginto din pala ang door charge.

    3. But at the same time, alam mo namang worth it.

    4. SWELDO IS THE BEST TIME OF THE MONTH!

    5. Mainly because you've survived on your one free drink stub for so many nights.

    6. Free gigs are synonymous with HULOG NG LANGIT.

    7. Minsan, diretso ka na from work or school.

    8. Arriving just in time to get a good spot.

    9. Pag minalas, minsan sa may pinto ka na lang.

    10. Mamiss mo na lahat, wag lang ang favorite mo.

    11. Sa dalas mo mag gig, kilala ka na ng staff and regulars sa venue.

    12. Making friends at gigs??? THE BEST.

    13. But sometimes, the more there are of you in one place, the harder it is to keep track.

    14. That one friend that doesn't actually use their free drink stub.

    15. And that one friend who might have had one too many beers.

    16. But somehow, it always makes for a good memory anyway.

    17. Marami na nga kayo, wala ka pa rin kasabay pauwi.

    18. When you hear a band live for the first time and they totally steal your heart.

    19. And when an artist you've supported since the beginning is now making it big.

    20. WHEN AN ARTIST OR BAND PLAYS A NEW SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!

    21. SONGS THAT GET YOU SUPER HYPED.

    22. ALSO, SONGS THAT BREAK YOUR HEART.

    23. Actually, maiiyak ka na lang talaga minsan.

    24. ESPECIALLY when the artist thanks the crowd.

    25. After the set and your favorite passes by you, and you're not sure what to do.

    26. You might just have a gig crush.

    27. Sometimes, priorities are questioned.

    28. But before the big gigs, you just load up beforehand and YOLO later.

    29. You've mastered how to conserve battery, even while taking photos, tweeting, and texting.

    30. You've gone to gigs so often that sometimes, you just spend most of your time outside.

    31. ...or was a total Tita and went home early.

    32. That after-gig high that leaves you tired, but smiling.

    33. Which immediately fades once you've realized you have ten missed calls from mama.

    34. Going home with like, 20 pesos in your wallet...

    35. ...but saving up so you can do it again next time.

    36. GIGS ARE LIFE!!!
