2010 Y108 Rock N' Roll Picnic

Today was the 5th? Annual Y108 Rock N' Roll Picnic. This year's picnic was part of the annual Festival of Friends in Hamilton. This year saw the return of a band that played 2 years ago, however under a different name (Hollowick, formerly Rides Again). Once again they put on a great show and their new songs are solid. Look for their new album to arrive in September, it's going to be a good one. Another solid performance was Fozzy, featuring the WWE Superstar Chris Jericho. Going into this I thought it was just some gimmick but as far as metal goes it definitely holds its own. And, it's also hard to hate Chris Jericho who looked like he genuinely enjoyed being up on stage and even took the time to poke fun at his band's marginal success. A surprising but good performance.

Worldwide Photo Walk

Back in July I participated in the Hamilton location for the Worldwide Photo Walk put on annually by Scott Kelby. Today I found out that this image that submitted was selected as the winner for the Hamilton walk. I am completely excited about this and looking forward to how it fares up against some of the other amazing winners from the other cities.
