☆A little little fun
Who: Those who signed up to perform, and anyone else
What: The Double S Charity Concert is go!
When: January 24th throughout the day
Where: Archer Park
Warnings: None planned
☆A Little Little Fun
On the morning of the 24th, the sun rises over Vista City and, more importantly, Archer Park- a series of rooftop parks connected to each other by bridges and overflowing greenery of all sorts. It's a popular on most days to start with. Today, however, is the day of the Double S Charity Concert. Thus, it's more packed than usual.
One of the park "islands" is home to a concert stage, and that is where the concert is taking place. All throughout the next couple of days, various musicians will perform songs they've written about or dedicated to another in the industry. With the entertainment value of the idea and the fame of the musicians, of course the place is packed.
The stage is where every musician will end up at throughout the day, performing for the masses, but behind it is also a rest area for them to either bide their time or just hang out. It's supposed to be restricted to just those musicians participating, but frankly... security is lax just enough that bandmates and the such could duck on in to see their friends. No fans, however, sorry. It's not the most impressive of places, with seating areas and a salad bar and all the pizza that could possibly be ordered, but hopefully it's good enough. This is also where one can find event organizer Jenny around, in case they need to bring anything up.
Of course, no one is required to stay back there while waiting their turn, or after they've done their performance. Attempts to raise money go beyond just the concert. Double S has all sorts of stalls set up, whether to explain to people the various causes they can specifically pledge support to, or to sell merchandise. Can't forget the food stalls. There is, of course, a stall showing adoptable animals. There always is.
Finally, there's one last thing Double S has set up for any willing celebrities. It's a meet-and-greet area for the fans, where they have the chance to meet their favorite musicians. Giving out autographs, taking pictures with fans... There's even a karaoke set up for everyone to use. Musicians can sing solo, or with others from their label, or even with a lucky fan.AKA feel free to get NPC MP here. Hopefully, it'll get some good publicity for those interested in that kind of thing.
Tickets have been made astonishingly cheap in the hopes that more people will show, with anything else being made up by merchandise sales or donations.

He grins at his friend, happily at first, then a little more sheepishly as he actually processes Ivan's question.]
Oh, uh. Well I don't actually have tickets or anything. I'm pretty sure our managers would get kinda mad if we took a trip they didn't plan for us, right? But we should do it one day when we can! It'd be really fun.
no subject
It'd be fun to have a world tour though.
[ Their bands are rising in the charts, so the possibility of another tour might be possible. If everything doesn't completely go crazy before then. ]
That was a really great and creative song. What made you think of using cups?
no subject
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I mighta said before, but I don't really know how to play instruments, just the ukulele a little bit. But sometimes when you got a beat in your head you just mess around with whatever's handy, and that's how the cup thing came to me. When I did the recording it was the uke', the cups, and my voice layered together. But I thought it'd be fun to do the cups for the performance.
no subject
[ Being that he mains the shamisen and knows the difficulty in having people listen and give it a chance. He wishes that Sora wasn't Pride. Doctor and Pao-Lin once composed with water in glasses, so adding this to the mix would make for a really surreal tune. ]
I'm sure the audience will feel the same.
no subject
[It's definitely not something he claims to own, so he'd enjoy seeing other people work with that kind of thing too.]
And it would work with stuff other than cups! Anything you can get to make a noise, you can turn into music.
no subject
[ He thought he saw a video that was like that. If it's something Sora wants to pursue more often, then it might be a style he could mesh with. No instruments needed. ]
no subject
no subject
[ He's not really sure if Sora's band would have an interest to do that, but they did help out with his cups performance. It's possible. ]
no subject
[He laughs, and gives Ivan's arm a friendly nudge with his own.]
Hey, we're talking a lot about me. Your performance was really great too!
no subject
[ They are the leads, after all, and Rei is popular in her own right. Ivan is just a shamisen player. Ivan turns a little sheepish at the nudge. ]
I mean, it's for charity, but I hope everyone liked the song.... Ms. Tamara is really a great lady. I met her when I was learning to play.
no subject
[At this point he remembers the belt he'd worn in honor of Ivan and points to it.]
I thought of you when I saw this so I thought I'd wear it. Y'know, [getting a bit back on track,] I don't think I've actually met her. I know Artolo and I've met Mai from her band, though. But you've known her for a while, huh?
no subject
[ He grins approvingly of the accessory. ]
She used to go to the music academy I attended. She has a bit of a reputation, and she later gave a talk there. I attended.
no subject
[He smiles listening to Ivan explain how he knew her, though some of that was eluded to in the song too, he knows.]
That's pretty awesome that you got to write a song for her for this, to give something like that back to her. I bet she was really happy hearing it, too. I was glad I got to do one for you.
no subject
She seemed to like it, and I'm glad you got me.
[ And it was a nice song rather than a jab at him like some of the songs were. (Not that Ivan thinks Sora is the type to do that.) To each their own, but Ivan feels that roasting another musician is in bad taste at a charity concert. ]
no subject
[Not that Sora has any idea what Double S charity is or what it does... Still. Charity!]
no subject
[ Nicely, except for the fact that there are sometimes murders and kidnapping and crazy CEOs... ]
no subject
[Mr. Patil is lenient and also stoic, it was hard to read his feelings about stuff, so it's really just a guess about what he'd be okay with them doing.]
no subject
[ It has been long since Ivan started to distrust her, started to not confide in her as much. After the holiday party gone horribly wrong, his band had the worry that Ms. Angel is in on it too. ]
no subject
[Sora considers an alternative, just in case Ivan's manager doesn't let him do more charity stuff.]
I guess we could always just do volunteer work on our own time, like not with our bands. Oh! Or like go sing for people who don't usually get to see music stuff live, you know? Who are having a rough time? Like, people in a hospital or something.
no subject
If the label doesn't want us to do something... it's kind of hard to go against that. I mean, I don't know if Ms. Angel would be against it, but if she was, then there's not much we can do.
no subject
I... I guess, yeah. But it's not like I'm saying we go sell our own music on the side or anything, just performing for people. Why would anyone get mad about that?
no subject
[ He laughs nervously, trying to push the issue aside. He already feels like he's said too much. ]
I don't want to press my luck with them. The fact that I've gotten this far feels like a dream.
