  Had a weekend with lot's of urlLink Thijs . On Friday evening, we (plus girlfriends) went to see urlLink Under Byen , a little-known Danish band that came to play in Paradiso. Like Thijs said in urlLink his post about it, the sound system sucked and their set was way too short.
This did little however to stop them from developing a weird, detached atmosphere. (Image (c) 2004, Thijs Stalenhoef) Definitely one of those should-have-been-there things, but if you manage to catch them on stage, don't miss it. Theirs is not a music that I like to listen to in the office (a bit too intense to make good wallpaper) but when traveling, or sitting down to listen music, yes. On Saturday, the four of us made a trip to the east of the NL, to visit Florian in his new home and celebrate his birthday. Nice to see them again. Missed the first 90 minutes of the football, but it was still a very exciting match.
Lots of people seem to be proud of the Dutch team again, though I wonder why. It was far too close a call (they won by margin of 1 penalty) for comfort... On Sunday Thijs and I went for some geek tool shopping near the Amsterdam Arena (the football stadium). Thijs seized the opportunity to make some pictures, and I shot some of that, using my PhoneCam (tm). -E
