United Nations
After a few years of working together through emails and brief international calls, I finally got to meet Inf – the man behind the boards. Here we are pictured at the Hair premiere in Brenda, NL where Inf and Illvester dj’d the red carpet and after party at the Chassé Theater.
The trip to Holland was fantastic, though I had to let go of the fact I couldn’t drive myself around. Driver’s courses and licenses are very expensive, and cars are taxed by weight, so most people just peddle or walk their way. My ride was a busted-ass grandma bike, which was the biggest test of the trip as I haven’t ridden since I was probably 12 years old. I managed to pick it up in a matter of minutes and hit the streets like I never stopped riding.
I think the most refreshing part of the trip was meeting all the creative, energetic, and positive people of Utrecht. They really have a great thing going over there as everyone works together collaboratively, never attempting to outdo one another but to push forward the sound and skill of their city.
To limit my gushing about the wonders of Holland, I decided to put together a completely biased top five list of my trip highs and lows. Brace yourself for some truly unabashed American observations…
