If you think this is a confession of a fangirl, I gotta say you're wrong. This is my point of view as a Street Team. Last Saturday, I went to Adrie Subono's house to get my The Downtown Fiction's Presale ticket.
It is no lie that I have been waiting for them since I first knew them. I always thought they would never come here, but by the end of 2010, I know my doubts aren't true. Adrie Subono, the owner of Java Musikindo tweeted that TDF will be coming to Jakarta along with Hey monday and A rocket to the moon next may. But no, that is not the point I want to share.
here is...
During those years since I began promoting the band, I've never even think I will watch them soon, I used to think that they will never come to Jakarta, because it is hard to bring your favorite band here, they're showing not for free, but... I have a little something in me that keeps saying "They will have their show here".
I do not work alone, I have Rya who thinks just the same as I do, and yes, she's the one who keep me from all those stupid things I might have done in the past. I almost quit the team back in 2008 but he told Cameron about that and all Cammie said was "Aww that's a bummer, but I really can't say anything. I don't want to push her or anything, but I do wish she'll stay". Who can resist that kind of words? I chose to stay, and I am glad I decided to.
Ever since that day when Cameron said what he said, and it was around late 2008, I never think to quit. By the middle of 2009, Rya faced her National Exams, God and I knows how that kept her under pressure, but The Downtown Fiction saved her. The following year, which was May 2010, I had my hardest time because of the same problem. National Exams. and at that point, I was not accepted to any school I applied. To be honest, if it wasn't because of their song "where dreams go to die" maybe I have lost my life.
I couldn't thank the boys enough for giving me sweet memories, and I myself can't get over them. I put their songs on repeat every fucking second of my life. I feel like I am a proud mother whenever I searched tweets with "The Downtown Fiction" from TDFIndonesia, and I found bunch of Indonesians tweeted their names. It is a huge satisfaction. Adrie Subono is one of the person who makes my dream comes true. Without him, and everyone else, Rya and I wouldn't get what we wanted to. But now we do, and we do not let the world slips through our grasp.
Just so you know, I will never stop promoting the band, it is a huge honor to do what I do. To be a street team of a band that gets to be known by the whole world. It is such an honor to see people knowing them because of what I do, I couldn't be more proud. Thanks for taking The Downtown Fiction to Jakarta, Adrie Subono. Thanks for everything <333
