Red Balloon Recap

The last Red Balloon event. I felt super honored to be a part of it.
It was rather hectic, since aside from vending there, TIZ also had a “surprise” performance at the show. While I sound checking and practicing with the performers, Karen and Adrienne documented the event – majority of photos here were taken by them. Props!

We arrived around 3:30. Rainy day.

Adrian, Karen’s boyfriend, has been helping us for the past couple of show. Thanks, man!

Tim! There’s no way you’d be able to turn down a smile like that.

Josh swung by. Soaked.

Soon after set up, the show begun.

Anna, Ruby, and Donna from [Sheselle], [RubyIbarra], and of course, UC Davis! Son.

Moments passed, wish I’ve seen the performances while I was vending outside.
Next thing I know, Leejay Abucayan from [Leejaybeats] was auctioning off Cathy Nguyen from [lilcdawg]?!

Bidding begun, whoever got the highest bid get to be serenaded by Cathy and JRA [JRAquinomusic]!

This birthday boy won the auction with $90.

TIZ was lined up to be the first off intermission. With no introduction, we showed as a surprise(hopefully) to the audience.

It was a 6 minute piece crafted by the poppers at UC Davis. My job was to guide the audience’s attention to the staircase, where they performed.

They nailed it. Moves were clean and on beat. Big ups to Popping Club at UCD.

Soon after, we have [Tyler Weinrich].

..then the headliner/ special guest – [Andrew Garcia]. Walup walup.

woot woot, with JRA and Cathy.

[Summer Breeze]!

Songbird.

From afar, [Square Marden]. Thanks for the smile Tasi. hah

Too cool for image stabilizer.

Met some ol’ friends, too!

Though, weren’t able to grab a picture of you guys, it was nice see you guys again after a long while – Nicki Sun [Nicki Sun], Dan Fontaine, Rachel Agana, and Dawn Castro.
