Today i went to Amsterdam to check out a band that goes by the name Nuff Said. I’m seldom overwhelmed by Dutch bands, but these guys surprised me. Good songs with some very catchy riffs. If i had to put a lable on it, it would be bubbly rock. It was a big bummer that they started at a ridicilous hour (11 pm) and i had to leave for the trainstation when the band was just starting to warm up.

Before that i enjoyed a very pleasant evening at Guys place, who introduced me to another friend of his. I’m terrible with names and although i think i remember hers, i’m not going to take a gamble. But what i know for certain is that she is very nice, articulate and totally into Frank Zappa. I could not have wished for better company.

It will be no surprise that at some point i had to mention Conny’s death. At this point all roads lead to Conny one way or another. I’m truelly amazed and grateful that this is never a bombshell that spoils the mood. That i can talk about this without being treated as someone who is suffering emotional leprosy. That what i am going trough is a human experience that others are interested in with the purest intentions.

Later on we cycled to the gig. I have never ride a bike through Amsterdam before and i really enjoyed it.
Amsterdam does not have the overwhelming beauty of Brussels or Paris, but it does have thousands of nooks and crannies where you can discover something unique. Amsterdam can be anything you want it to be. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it.

After the gig I enjoyed a twenty minute hike to the trainstation. It would have been a perfect evening
if it wasn’t for the following event. Right after the train left, the train hit something or to be precise, someone. I’m not sure if it was an accident or a suicide, but the event did make think on how much impact it has on so many different people. For what it’s worth, my thoughts are with all of them.

Carpe diem people! Carpe diem!
