What a busy week its been. Its Saurday again and now at 430 in the afternoon I have completed a short paper on Fritz Lang's Metropolis for my Political Science class. yeah it sucks but its not sunny out anyway.

Tesday was my first visit to the Stadion Galgenwaard, home of FC Utrecht and just round the corner for campus. Was the 3rd round of the KNVB Cup (Dutch league cup). FC Utrecht won 3-1 but i was unsatisfied as I was hoping for a frikandel while watchign the game. A frikandel is basically a type of dutch junk food, made from cow's udders, and is like a sausage. yeah its sounds bad but its awesome, especially the Speciaal, with onions and curry tomato sauce. I did get my frikandel at a snack bar near the stadium after the game, good thing or I wouldnt have been able to go to bed.

Wednesday I was unsure if I should meet Steve (from Wales) in Amsterdam but I did get a ride from Naomi's mother who was visiting and going to Amsterdam. So i got a free ride and I avoided getting lost. Willem came along too, a Dutch guy who hasn't been in Amsterdam in the past 6 years. Walked around has a drink and coffee and thats about it.. oh yeah we had another frikandel.

Thursday I was stuck outside Tivoli De Helling as the Satyricon/Keep of Kalessin show was sold out. I kinda expected it but I was hoping for the best. Why I didnt get the ticket in advance, I dont know, because I knew all along that I would go for the show. After standing outside for an hour hoping for some miracle, it did happen and someone offered me his ticket as he didnt want to go in. And inside i stood right infront of the stage and had such a good time. One of my favourite black metal bands.. haha for old times' sake! Then i met Jasper and Mark outside giving out flyers after the show so I helped them for a bit and hung on to his car for a ride home. The bike was surprisingly stable at 40km/h.

Yesterday was Amusement Parks on Fire at Ekko, supported by the guitarists' side project, You Slut!. Such a great show and Steve came along too. More about the show later. After that was a drum n bass party at the college bar, organized by Natasha who lives upstairs. Lenny was the MC and it was a good party, even though it wasnt my kind of thing. Not very packed on campus on the wekends as everyone goes home.

So its today now and im rushing my work as theres a festival in Tilburg, the Zuid Bij Zuidwest festival! tonight is day one and tomorrow theres Radio Birdman among 50+ other bands. All for 10 Euro!
