Time to waste… what should we do…
No school…
For almost 2 weeks no work (yay!)…
And some days that there is nothing planned…
Those days are the best days to really waste.
Doing nothing or nothing really usefull.
Or in my case… do most of the day nothing usefull.
At least the morning and evening/night is wasting time.
In the afternoon I did a little bit cleaning my room… it still was a mess since the desk has moved from one side of my room to the other side.
After cleaning my room I started to play a few games.
Around 3:00 PM (or 15:00) I thought “Lets go to town.”
To shop? No way. I already did that the other day.
This weekend (14th to 16th of July) André Rieu will give a concert in his hometown (Maastricht).
What a coincidence… I live in Maastricht and it is almost 14th of July.
So what did I do in the town?
Staring to the workers, who are building the the stage where André Rieu with the Johann Strauss Orchestra will be standing (and playing… duh!) this weekend.
It is amazing…. seeing a lot of metal, parts of the decorations, guys working, a lot equipment that gets brought in via trucks and all.
Yet I was a bit disapointed when I looked to the decorations…
Yet the day wasn’t a total loss…
I hoped that when I’d go to town, I could see either André Rieu or his son Pierre from a distance.
Luckaly not very long after I arrived, I saw both of them.
The local TV was having an interview with André Rieu.

And they also had an interview with Pierre (André’s son).

So I saw what I wanted to see…
And stared long to the complex metal construction that will be constructed to the stage for the next weekend.
Too bad that I am gone this weekend and that the tickets are expencive. Otherwise I shurely would have been present again, just like last year…

Hi Joma: This is very interesting and I am certain many of Andre’s US fans who could not attend his Maastricht concert this year would love to hear more. Perhaps you would write a story and send photo for a webpage?
