Weekend well spent

Long weekends are lovely (when they’re migraine free). Good things these past three days include:

  • A Sneakerfreak single release party. Managed by a co-worker of mine these guys are competent musicians, a little old fashioned (I got this 10,000 maniacs, Camper Van B. kind of vibe off them. I.e. bands that R.E.M. hung out with but did not sound like.) A little too ‘clever’ lyrically for me, but musically engaging. Good looking lads, they seem dedicated. Their lead guitarist’s just fabulous.
  • The end of the camera ordeal and subsequent farting around with it.
  • Meeting up with the lovely Caterina at ”t Loosje’ on Nieuwmarkt. Tasty frappucinos!
  • Holland beating Sweden in the quarter finals of the E.C. football (I *love* the game, you see, even if I hate the hype, the hysteria and most of all the bloody h’orange.)
  • Discovering very pretty parts of Amsterdam I never knew existed: Zeeburg.
  • More farting around with camera.
  • A game of tennis thwarted by a junior tournament – sun, tea and Vondelpark instead.
  • Grilled lemon scallops & assorted sushi at Zushi
