Hey watch for me, I was lucky and got creds for this event. I'll be wearing a gray hoodie sweatshirt with a red baseball cap and carrying the smallest lens of any of the photogs out there. They didn't issue vests for this event, Europeans don't like them I guess. Hope to see some of you there Here is a pix of Haga last Friday night I do remember that Haga - Superman - Can't believe how big Haga's ball must be -Race He is a MAN!!!
