Friday, August 13, 2004 - Friday the 13th - Opening ceremony

I hope you don't read this before the ceremony. It will spoil it.

This is an example of my job, shotlisting or logging. I wasn't the main shotlister or I would have been a little more serious and descriptive.
Enjoy.
I know I certainly did.
Stephen :-)
