Our friends from Cafe Mondo recently produced their very own t-shirt! ? In short, it is a cafe/venue/record store nestled in the South Jakarta neighborhood of Kemang. The selection of music is great, and it's vintage Indonesian pop culture-decor makes for a pleasant atmosphere. If you follow Whiteboard Journal then you will also know that they have been hosting our events because it's a venue where anyone can experiment playing any type of music (and we do love trying new things!). As you can see from the sorta-blurry picture above (front and back views of the tee), the misty grey tee features the cafe logo in the front, while the back graphic has images that gives you an idea of what the place is all about.

Her strong and husky vocal is magnetic and commanding as she dance and prowl on the stage. In between songs, Apsari seems to enjoy interacting and laughing along with the audience as one would to a friend. Of course, other members of the band also had their own shining moment. Drummer John Navid and Cellist Ricky Surya Virgana are both electrifying with their brief solo instrumental piece.
During the brief intermission, the crowd is treated to behind the scene of the band’s journey during the European tour. And almost immediately, the band is back with the second set, driving the crowd delirious with winsome hits such as Aksi Kucing. Here, band members, especially Apsari, let loose of any inhibitions and prance around wildly on stage. The band also couldn’t have wished for a better audience. The energetic crowd cheers, claps and even sings along without any prompting.
Cynics will be quick to point out that the popularity of the band, which is influenced by sounds from the 30s and 70s, is build on nostalgia of old songs. However, nostalgia itself is based on personal association of the past. One interesting fact to point out is all of the members are born in the early 80s. And judging from the crowd’s faces, most of them are in their twenties.
In this stressful and quick pace modern life, any individuals who yearn to seek solace is given. Back to a slower time where one is able to contemplate and enjoy the activities he/she loves to do. Fortunately for all of us, White Shoes & the Couple Company is here to bridge that needs.

What They Don't Talk About When They Talk About Love
Synopsis:
At a high school for the visually impaired in Jakarta, Indonesia, the students are like any other teenagers: they attend classes, pursue artistic endeavors, and fall in love. The most privileged of the bunch, Diana, patiently awaits signs of womanhood and humors her mother's attempts to mold her into the perfect girl. The beautiful Fitri has no shortage of male attention and enters into a passionate affair with, unbeknownst to her, a hearing-impaired punk rocker who is masquerading as a doctor. Meanwhile, Maya, blind since birth, aspires to be an actress and performer. Regardless of physical barriers, the students find ways to communicate and collaborate, enabling them to connect-with each other and to the outside world. (IMDB)
