Maurice Kirya had a show last week on Thursday at the Kamapla Serena that I somehow managed to miss because I thought it was on Friday. This was despite all the pre-show Social Media buzz and the billboards around town that had the correct date indicated. I know, I am an idiot! We can confidently confirm that now, stamp it and put it in my CV right next to my mad skills in accumulating dirty utensils. Anywaaaayy, away from my thickness upstairs, Maurice Kirya did his thing, filled the room, sang bra and pantie removing music, made a MTV MA awards entry to the stage and basically rocked his fans. Rumor has it some fans hid inside the hall till the next morning because they thought they were going to have to pay more money while exiting since the entertainment value was like thrice the door charge.
Now, you might be wondering how I know all this considering I have just confessed I wasn’t there. Duh, I am from the planet Krypton and I have the ability to see through buildings. Yes, really! In addition to that, I am also extremely talented at following twitter trending topics, and embedding tweets. I therefore present how the show went down according to Ugandans on twitter using the hashtags #KiryaLive2013 and #KiryaLive
It starts…
Hey guys! I am so excited to meet u all tonight, what song can’t you wait to sing along to? #KiryaLive

Malaria?! That wouldn’t be much of a surprise though. Ugandan artists have strange creative juices when it comes to stage names.
This drummer is amazing!! I think his name is malaria. I think… @mauricekirya @ClubPilsener #KiryaLive2013 pic.twitter.com/S1AwmC310Y

And some people where left with no option but to feed on saliva.
At @serenahotels Kla during #KiryaLive, the price of beer fluctuated between 8,000 and 12,000 based on the waiter one sent.
