The 2+ hour train ride from Taipei felt somewhat longer than
the trip I made the previous week to watch sodagreen. I alighted at 豐富
station
at about 8ish at night. Not
a single soul was in sight at the station, nor the surrounding area. After
a 10 minute trek in near-total
darkness to the venue ground, I was greeted with this familiar sight:

| overnight campers |
A
couple of guys were onstage tweeking the sound and stage lighting. As
all the best spots for the front row were already taken up, I settled
for a spot on the right side, facing the centre of the stage.
The
night watchman who was concerned about us catching a cold
from sleeping out in the open windy ground came over and offered us full use of the backstage area (the backstage portaloo and tents (for sleeping).
As
the night fell, it only got colder and the windier. Brrr... I sought refuge from the strong chilly wind in one of the backstage tent attempting to sleep on a
makeshift bed consisting of 2 plastic chairs.
At 6:00am I made my way back to the line. By the time the sun came up it was scorching hot and we were literally being baked under the sun.

By mid-afternoon we were finally
relieved of the countless hours of queuing boredom. Yen-J, Jonathan
Lee, A-Yue, 831 turned up for rehearsal.

Finally it was 8:00PM. Showtime! First up was 翁立友
Wong Li-You
whom Ashin remarked looked like Monster (i can see the resemblance LOL), followed by 831, A-Yue,
Yen-J and Jonathan Lee. What a stellar line-up!!

Mayday
was the final artist on the bill and took the stage after Jonathan
Lee. Luckily the two Yen-J fans in front row left during
Mayday's second song so I managed to move up to the front row from my
second row spot. Yay!!
During the second verse of 知足,
Ashin descended the stairs and walked towards the crowd. I wasn't expecting him to walk over and stand RIGHT IN FRONT of me!! *faints* Fans all around me
had their hands stretched out but none touched him. In my
mind I thought how nice it'd be to run my fingers through his hair XDDD
I stretched out my hand and planted it firmly on Ashin's shoulder. Though all I could feel was the shoulder pad on his StayReal jacket, it was enough to make my day!

When the concert sadly came to an end, I got onto one of the many the 接駁車
headed for Miaoli train
station. Managed to get on the last Taipei bound train. Arrived back
in Taipei past 1:00 in the morning, tired but oh so happy.
