The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has certainly overstayed everywhere around the world.
Over the past few months, some of our favorite gig spots have been forced to temporarily shut its doors and even completely close down for good. It's been tough to say the least. But as Metro Manila shifts to GCQ, these venues have turned to other means to stay afloat and support their staff and crew by opening their kitchens for pick-up and delivery.
One of those venues is Route 196.
Yesterday (06/17), the Katipunan music venue asked their patrons to vote for their favorite eats (deviled chicken won!) and share their Route 196 stories with the hashtag #AllHomesLeadToRoute on Twitter
BANDWAGON TV
Check out their stories below.

It is where we first played as Ely Buendia & The Itchyworms or #EBxIW.
If the major concert was an unforgettable concert, this was the unforgettable gig that started it all. 💙#AllHomesLeadToRoute #Route196AtHome pic.twitter.com/Yfel86Go6G
“Misteryoso” music video launch! Andaming kasabay na events kasi 420 pero punong-puno ang Route196. One of our most memorable gigs ever.

The first time I played at Route 196 was in 2010. Our first EP launch was there. We played countless shows at a weekly level during college and beyond. I have made my closest friends there. My band found it's footing there. We have had Logiclub shows there. I had Wow Ganda there.

Pag-isipan ko i-share ko na story 😅
Found friends, got jobs and projects, cried my eyes out, laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe, drank til the sun came up, launched all of my music there, danced with everyone outside...so many memories there & I just wanna make more 🥺 #AllHomesLeadToRoute #Route196AtHome

Tuwing nakikita kami nila kuya Madz, mapa manonood o tutugtog, lagi silang nakangiti. Yan ang pamilya.#AllHomesLeadToRoute #Route196AtHome https://t.co/irGOqxvQIP pic.twitter.com/9x4TT5m8tT

We can still remember the excitement when we joined Jumpstart in 2010. We were scared promdi kids but Route gave us a chance. We vividly remember our kababayans, Kuya Mads and the team, cheering us on 'cause we were so nervous. Learned a lot and met a lot of people. Good times 💙 https://t.co/p1iLTiRjrf

After 1 gig, we hurriedly "borrowed" @Route196Rocks 's bench and it took over the island and sneaked in @munitheband' s first band photo. Then a year later, i recreated to introduce @joshkopoewz as the new drummer. These photos were colour graded by Tita Marilen Magsaysay. https://t.co/slwJBy65DJ pic.twitter.com/bl4QEYVsIE
