Glad to be of service. Flying out in a few hours, though, so unfortunately, that'll be it for my event coverage for a while.

That dude was the cameraman. There were a few of us standing in the drizzle watching the band. Maybe a dozen others were huddling under some overhang in the back. Band was pretty decent. They kept cursing the rain and cold LOL.

Thanks. I think the only thing I picked up was a funny postcard. By the time D.F. rolled around, I was pretty sofubi'd out LOL and was actually kind of glad to be off the hook for the day. :lol:
