Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the 1st time nomadlife has sent an official media representative to an event like the Rain Forest Music Festival in Sarawak, Malaysia.

I'm sipping coffee and sitting outside the Media Center and Press Conference rooms right now, where I just got done trying to give a fuck about the 1st media briefing. So far the OC has been extremely nice and the press corps has a vaguely @-conference-reunion feel to it, to which I feel like the uninitiated newbie clawing up the corner as every else rattles off a dance.

My first rookie mistake was not bringing my camera cable for instant uploads as I update you on the festivities going down, but rest assured I'm taking full advantage of the gratis cross-country flight, accommodation, and 2 meals per day throughout the event.

I'll be blogging regularly as per my agreement with the Sarawak Tourism organization to keep you updated on the goings on of this temporary microcosm of utter Glory. There are press conferences I and each day's performers are allegedly attending every morning, so take a look at the lineup for tomorrow (bios) and feel free to suggest any interview questions.

I'll try to take it seriously, hopefully with a yellow cup in hand. So far, so, so good.

PS - 15 minutes after take-off I was invited to my 1st post-performance party. I already chipped in money, so I guess I'm locked into attending. I wonder if the nights here end similarly to the way we're accustomed to?

PPS - nomadlife's favorite hookah is here.
