| Last weekend the Mission Bay Jazz & Blues Streetfest took place in our street. With more than 20 bands performing on the street, beach and stage, the waterfront was transformed into a musical streetfest. I was asked to help out with this event. As vendor manager I liaised between vendors and other relevant parties to ensure a smooth set up and delivery of the festival. |  |
| For the show Cabaret, the Auckland Theatre Company wanted a special setting, and chose to use a Spiegeltent as venue for the show. In order of the event support company High Profile I participated in the construction of the Salon Perdu. The impressive classic Spiegeltent, imported from The Netherlands, accommodates up to 450 people. Its setting in the Viaduct Harbour, the heart of Auckland, further adds to the atmosphere of the show. | !['Cabaret' stage setting, Auckland, October 2010 [Photo by Michael Smith]](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1015/5177493753_be522d401c_o.jpg) |

Last month I went back to The Netherlands to visit family and friends. Within this trip, I worked for two weeks for former employer LOC7000 during A Campingflight To Lowlands Paradise Festival 2010, which took place at Biddinghuizen on 20, 21 and 22 August 2010. As member of the site production team I had to provide general assistance to the site production manager and I was responsible for the management of the campervan campsite. It was great to be back at such an amazing festival! See Production page / See Photo page |

| Last Friday I have been part of the Cadbury Crunchie Comedy Gala, which is the official launch of the 2010 New Zealand International Comedy Festival. Over 20 local and international comedians performed in a three hour television show. As assistant stage manager I was responsible for instructing the comedians on the practical aspects of their performance on stage and changing over audio equipment and props.
