Well, what can I say. I was already on two heavy music concerts in Holland (Melvins and Soulfly) and both suffered from the same lack of guitar sound sharpness. It is loud, yes, but still you can't understand what they are playing very well. At least they had wonderful drummers :) Miekje said it was because room was too small for this music. May be. I hope it's big enough for Paladins though :)

i've bought the tickets to Paladins' concert in the Nighttown and couple of CDs by Medeski Martin & Wood. nice music btw.

this Saturday i woke up with strange feeling, that i have to go to Amsterdam by some reason. We went to cafe with Marta and Irena, drank kopje koffie each and i sat on my bike and went to the Centraal Station. When i was passing by Nighttown I saw advert of Palladins going to play there, i wanted to see the date, but suddenly forward weel of my bike left its place. Somehow i got to the station, locked leftovers of my bike on the bicycle parking and went to Amsterdam. In A'dam I went to nice pizzeria, ate Pizza Frutti di Mare and went to Leidsplein. On my way there I've bought two books by Irvine Welsh - Trainspotting and Filth. On Leidsplein I saw funny guy juggling with running chainsaw, big knife and tennis ball and doing a lot of other funny stuff and making some stupid funny jokes. After i went to Drenthe. Next morning we went to Groningen with Miekje, I love this town, it's beautiful. We went to marine museum. tobacco museum, i've bought a couple of postcards with snails and i ate huge piece of meat. In the evening I've bought me a new bike in Assen - little foldable. You have to push the hell out of your legs to make it run fast, but at least i can take it all the way up to my apartment. i'll put picture later.

I've just bought tickets to Soulfly concert in NightTown for Miekje and myself. It's my birthday present for her, morgen bent ze jarig :) that means “she has a birthday tomorrow”.

Yesterday as i planned i went to see Marta's dance performance Her part was nice, but then there were awful chaotish kids, then some amateur dancers, then again amateurs with music by Anastasia. Mix of professionals and amateurs is very funny, although I don't understand anything in dance, of course.

Then Marta, Monica, Irena, their friend, swiss dancer Jans and me went to some pizzeria on Nieuwe Binnenweg and I ate HUGE pizza gorgonzola.

It was cool in Noordwijk yesterday: Marina drove me on her car around the place (we visited Noordwijk-Binnen, Katwijk and Lisse), we went to see the sea (first time in Holland I saw it). Then we just walk in Noordwijk aan Zee. Driving is cool. I have to learn, really.

the month of travels back and forth showed that this lifestyle is not efficient, so i decided to live in r'dam again. i have to make my room more livable them… today i'm gonna visit Marina in Noordwjik, tomorrow - to see Marta's performance in “Lantarn en Venster” theatre.
