Sebelumnya info Crowned King bakal dateng ke Jakarta lagi, gua dapet dari abang gua sehari sebelum mereka maen di news cafe kemang. Gua langsung nyari temen buat nemenin meng-interview mereka, tapi dikarenakan 1 sampai 2 hal sebab dengan itu gag ada yang sanggup menemani sampai waktu pun tiba. Jadi dengan terpaksa gua bikin janji sama mereka interview lewat e-mail saja, karena gua yakin kalo nyamperin mereka langsung ke news cafe pasti gag bakal dapet kesempatan.

Gua berharap mereka di Jakarta tetep check atausetidaknya buka e-mail mereka dari suatu tempat yg meyediakan hotspot atau fasilitas dari panitia, TERNYATA dengan menyesal saya katakan tidak. Gua sempet nyerah, dan ga yakin mereka bakal nge-reply e-mail gua. E-mail yang gua kirim dari tgl 9 mei, tidak ada tanggapan sama sekali sampai tanggal 20 Mei. Eh, gag taunya gw dapet balasan langsung oleh Jonny B, sang peniup trombone pada tanggal 21 mei kemaren. Seneng bgt rasanya langsung aja gua tembak mereka dengan berbagai macam pertanyaan.so.. simak interview dengan Crowned King dibawah ini :
