Bringing the house down with TDK and XtremeMac

Manila, Philippines – If it’s all about upgrading the fun, you can always count on and be sure of TDK and XtremeMac to deliver. As part of its continuous efforts to bring the brand closer to its consumers and mesh it with a lifestyle activity, XtremeMac and TDK have organized an Open Mic Night. And by that, it pretty much translates to a Rockeoke event where anyone can have his 4 minutes of stardom and take home TDK and/or XtremeMac prizes to boot.

Last Thursday, 25 October 2012, was no different. TDK and XtremeMac gathered a handful of Manila’s most active bloggers to participate in a night of cheerful delights. Initially, people were shy (and sober?) about the whole idea of taking over the stage. But eventually, with the food and drinks and the rock-filled air of anticipation people started to loosen up. Not to mention that the idea of fulfilling the fantasy of being a pop star encouraged the bar-goers to fall in line for the microphone. Hence, to describe the Open Mic Night as fun and enjoyable would be an understatement.

Catch Open Mic Nights by TDK and XtremeMac every Thursday 10pm at Alphonse Bistro and Bar (City Golf Complex, Dona Julia Vargas St., Ortigas Center, Pasig City)
