 Greetings Janiacs as you all hopefully know by now Motherjane totally rocked Indonesia

MOTHERJANE touched down in Jakart 1pm their time and were picked up by the Java rock reception commitee.

First bit of rockstar reception was that we bypassed the entire customs & immigration formalities. We just stood around while they tagged all ur luggage and took us out to the artist bus.

2nd rockstar moment- We had a friggin police escort all the way from the airport to the hotel. That cuts down a 1.5 hr trip to 30 minutes

Jakarta looks a lot like an indian metro, with modern skyscrapers &extremely humble shanty huts, standing side by side. When a cty looks back at you like that, it feels like it is winking.

To me that always indicates the wordwide practice of the pursuit of wealth & at the same time suggests that the same place, values its people for other things as well. I am not glorifying poverty, I like countries that do not sweep its poor under the carpet.

Walked into the 5 star Hotel Borobudur to what may have been a traditional Indonesian welcome and a welcoming letter from the minister of culture and tourism

Bumped into Eric martin and Billy Sheehan right outside our rooms. We stay on the same floor. They are really chilled out. Got pics that I’m sure u will see soon.

Just getting into sound check now as i write. It is the 8th 10am, we r watching Mr Big doing their soundcheck and we r on the next stage. I must admit, this es exciting as hell. It is not everyday that Eric Martin comes up to u in the morning and say ”motherjane- you guys rock. I checked u out and ”fields of sound” is a great song. And by the way I liked ur rockumentary too.” Like I said they are all chilled out. Baiju had a chat with Paul Gilbert at dinner last night. Wonder what they had to say. It must have been intense

Signing off
