The Machine of Amsterdam

A few weeks ago The Kennedys went to meet Machine. Machine are probably the coolest people I’ve ever met. They discard what is ‘supposed to be’ in their work which keeps it constantly fresh and exciting. What’s the point in not being fresh and exciting? What they made us realize... Continue reading

Amsterdam Canal Opera

Last week, as I biked home from work, I was heading along the Brouwersgracht when a beautiful ethereal melody drifted towards me. I looked towards the canal and saw the Amsterdam Student Choir rehearsing for their next performance, on a boat! According to one of the singers, the canals have... Continue reading

VAMOS RAFA! VAMOS KENNEDYS!

He did it – Rafa’s 7th Roland Garros! Some will compare it to Lance's 7 Tours, but for The Kennedys, who just got here last week, it felt like both combined. They worked like wild fire last week. It started last Tuesday as a little spark of an idea. How... Continue reading

Laser 3.14 Let me know the rules so I can ignore them

Last Wednesday our walls were completely empty, and I was sitting at the entrance with Laser, listening to his story. He loved to paint but he had no technique. He applied to art schools but no one believed in him. So he taught himself to paint at home. He followed... Continue reading

Keep exploring, a love declaration to the diversity of Amsterdam

Cycling along the Grachten (canal), my short commute to work and hanging out at W+K's local bar are only some of the things I love about this town. The ambitious planning, realization and finally the opening of the Eye is another. Or the new area that's still being built next... Continue reading

A breath of summer

Illustration by Jim Woodring “Frank” This isn't Paris, Berlin, or Rome. But you'd like to be back again. Every breath of summer is worth it, even if the beer gets warm in a boat ride, and the potatoes get burned on the grill. Once in a while you do lose... Continue reading

Voting withdrawal

When I cast my last vote for the One Show Awards 2012 last night, I started to feel a bit uneasy. The thing is, I’ve been through 4 voting rounds since September, evaluating over 1,000 entries and debating what deserves a pencil with one of the best judging panels I’ve... Continue reading
