Last weekend I took a jump back to my old job. A weekend of track and field and sound engineering. The indoor track and field venue in Apeldoorn was not the easiest place to do so. A lot of reverb is easy to create but together with my team of PB-Event co-workers we where able to do this successful. This weekend the juniors where competing next weekend it will be for the seniors.
Like the last few years I returned to China again in September for the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. After the 10 hour flight I arrived at the airport of Pudong and from there we had to go 1 hour by car.
The venue for this event is extraordinary. The hotel is connected to the stadium and that makes it really easy to work for us. When u are finished with rehearsing u can get back in to the nice air conditioned hotel again.
The climate in Shanghai is really humid and the is a constant cloud above the city. This makes it really sweaty. Luckily the subways have AC as well.
Here u can see a complete overview of the stadium http://www.fussballtempel.net/afc/CHN/Shanghai.html
The Competition went pretty smooth and Monday morning we headed back to Holland again to get some fresh air again.
Results of the event can be watched at http://www.athleticsonline.info/
now I’m preparing for a weekend at Spa Francorchamp, Belgium again.
Like last year PB-event is supporting the only amateur sand sculpture building contest in Europe.
There will be 2 rounds where the judges pick the teams wich will go to the final in Arnhem. all the teams try to do there best to get the price money that will go to a charity.
We support them with a sound-system.
