Battle of the Bands

Last weekend was a blast. Had to jury a bandcontest in Roermond and make some photo's of the event. The bands were all very good, so picking a winner was really hard.
My new wide angle Sigma lens arrived on the friday before so this was the perfect opportunity to try it out. Unfortunately some asshole tought it was funny to throw a glass of beer and it landed on my camera and new lens! I can tell you that I was pissed as hell!
The damage was minor, so after a couple of beers I forgot about it and the evening ended really nice.
The photo on the left is of the winner DisFunk.

Got my usual alergical reaction to the smokemachine and was sick the day after. But that is allready a normal thing after visiting a concert.
But I do hope that they will not use a thing like that at the Queensday festival in Venlo in a couple of weeks. My old time favs "Nine Pound Hammer" is opening that festival and the organisation has asked me for a photoreport! Looking forward to that!
But first I have to get used to the idea that in two weeks I'm flying to Jordan in the Middle East... And soon after that flying to the south east of the USA...
