BFREE exhibition
THE NEVER EVER EVER - new work by BFREE
Where: SIXTEEN/EIGHTEEN GALLERY
Haverstraat 16, Utrecht
When: Saturday 17th Sept - 16th Oct
LINK
BFREE does some wicked caricature work, his friendly curly people and grinning monsters... it's like a Monty Python and Playschool mad mashup.
Mr BFREE is also a very friendly chap from the 'stickit' posse, so you see his work all over Utrecht.
Another note about BFREE is the sale of his 'custom designer Qee', which is currently setting a record price on Ebay!! LINK

Legitimate profession?
For a long time I have wanted a pic of this van I have seen in our neighbourhood.
Can they really advertise like that?

Pokernight
If you didn't know your ever friendly mrmule is an avid poker player.
We try and have a home game at least every month. We play Texas Hold 'em rules, with a €1 stake.
Players bring drink/snacks to enjoy during the evening.
I have recently signed up to be Organiser of the Amsterdam Poker Meetup Group. Although some of the meetups are in Utrecht, which makes things easier!
If you are a poker player, sign up and come join us for an evening!

Shops in Utrecht
We have a great shop here in Utrecht called 'Lilith | Ravings of a Mad Woman'
Popped into the shop yesterday after a tip off that they have started selling all manner of designer toys *GULPS*
Indeed they do and have a small selection of Qees, Speaker People, Monsterisms and Ci boys. They even had some Dave Kinsey Ltd edition T-Shirts.
Well worth a look in you're in the area!
They also gave me some stickers for the Graffiti Bike.. HUZZAH!

The Tempest drowns Utrecht
Last night we went to see a FREE outdoor version of The Tempest at the Dom Tower in Utrecht. They had reconstructed the central part that collapsed during a storm centuries ago, and so with this years 750th Anniversary of the Dom, it seemed quite fitting.
It started after the football (of course).. we managed to find a good spot to watch, at the back of the posh seated area, stood on the decking, about 4feet higher thsn everyone else.
It played like an scene from Towering Inferno, with firemen chucking water around and soaking everyone! But the most impressive was the lighting and the sound, for the first time in ... ooo how long the Dom tower was not lit up with the normal flood lights, but with projections of actors and theatre lights.. pretty good visuals! Cries and screams filled the small streets of Utrecht ... gpeople who didn't know about the event must have wandered WTF was happening?!
As you can see by the time on the clock, we were in town until way after midnight, but it's a friendly place... specially when Holland has just won a footy match!

Friends Names on Food
Cooking up a storm tonight in the kitchen, (chicken curry BTW) looking over what other random stuff I can throw in with the tinned pineapple I just found, when my eye catches a name.... a familiar name.
This ones for you Stef!
If I find any more...
.. you'll know where to find 'em!

Dutch Dog Dunny
Dutch dog owners can soon throw away their pooper-scoopers and plastic bags and instead walk their furry creatures to their very own toilet.
The developer of a new "doggy toilet," a small fenced-in patch of artificial grass, hopes the self-cleaning device will help rid towns of the mess left behind by man's best friend.
The first toilet is being tested in Zaltbommel, a small town in central Netherlands, but the developer has already been approached by government officials from as far away as London.
"This is only a pilot program, but we hope to roll out 200 to 300 of these toilets in one year," Hans van de Pos, who has patented the device.

Dutch public looses faith in Prime Minister
Dutch public looses faith in Jan Peter Balkenende
12/30/2003 16:24
According to both polls, Jan Peter Balkenende came out as the worst politician of the Netherlands. The public seems to have enough of the Prime Minister who won two elections in a row. Balkenende has lost all his credits in the two years he was prime minister of the Netherlands.

Schiphol to Utrecht by train
Schiphol to Utrecht by train
Arrive at Schiphol
Follow signs for trains (do a right and a left)
ticket office
get a single to Utrecht Centraal (changing at DUIVENDRECHT)-fare €10,40
Ask the ticket cashier which platform, they're dead friendly and speak English very
well.
1st stop is Amsterdam Zuid WTC
2nd stop Amsterdam RAI
3rd stop is Duivendrecht - GET OUT
You'll arrive downstairs follow the masses and the suitcases upstairs (blue signs for
Utrecht). You'll probably find that a train arrives for Utrecht Centraal, but no-one
gets on it??!.... this is because its a 'stoptrein'. Wait 5 minutes and catch the
'sneltrein'.
Stoptrein = slow (stops at all the stations)
Sneltrein = fast (limited stops)
If you get the 'SnelTrein' to Utrecht Centraal and it's your 1st stop.. YAY
TOTAL TIME 37 MINUTES
If you get on a 'stoptrein' at Duivendrecht, fear not you'll just have to stop at
these stations:
Amsterdam Bijlmer
Abcoude
Breukelen
Maarssen
Utrecht Centraal is the 5th stop
TOTAL TIME 55 Minutes
If all has failed and nothing looks familiar you may have got on the 'stoptrein' at
Schiphol, you'll be doing all these stations:
Amsterdam Zuid WTC
Amsterdam RAI
Duivendrecht
Diemen Zuid
Weesp
Naarden-Bussum
Bussum Zuid
Hilversum Noord
Hilversum
Hilversum Sportpark
Hollandsche Rading
Utrecht Overvecht
Utrecht Centraal
TOTAL TIME 1 HOUR 10 minutes
You can also catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam, then change for Utrecht, it's
probably just as easy except that Amsterdam CS is very big.
For train times and online planner hit the NS website at:

Travel safely and may the force be with you
