    Do you have a link with info on that festival?

    Too bad I always have to work on satuday and sunday till noon. By the time I get there (2,5 hour drive) it wouldn't be worth going I'm afraid. :meh:

    Not if you co-own a store (with my father). ;)

    I couldn't go to the Graspop festival this year either. :bawl:

    Yeah I guess that would not be so good to call in sick then!

    I have not been here long so I don't know anything about the local jazz scene. Is there one? All I hear is 80s music and djs when I go out. I read that the North Sea Jazz fest is the largest in the world though.

    Middelheim in Antwerp is also a great yearly festival.

    I don't know much about the area around Rotterdam.
    But here in Belgium there isn't much of jazz places to hang out.
    Especially if you live in "rural" Belgian Limburg as I do. ;)

    Well there definitely isnt much jazz happening in Haarlem as far as I can tell. Maybe Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Oh well... looking forward to this weekend.
