Technology Captures Rick Astley in the Philippines

Reader Jayvee shares a once-in-a-lifetime experience: Getting to meet Rick Astley in person! The self-confessed fan of the 80s icon summed it up his experiences at Alchemy last quite nicely, and had the technological goods (pics, online video) to back it up. Continue reading or miss out!

OHGOD. Couldn’t bring anyone. Guest list only. So I had to make some change of plans for the evening because, well, I learned in school that urgency takes precedence over importance (”in matters of prioritizing, what needs to be done immediately always supercedes what is seemingly important.”) Rick Astley was only here for 2 nights and this was probably the only night I would be able to meet him in the flesh.

According to Jayvee, security was quite tight around the man. The event in Alchemy was a strictly guest-list only affair, and picture-taking with the musician was limited to those lucky enough to know someone who knows someone. Luckily the internet lets anyone share it all! Check out this video of Mr. Astley interacting with his legion fans:

Sigh… if only anyone was brave enough to bring a laptop and rickroll the man.
