Mushrooms

Marcel got me addicted to Hugh Fearnley–Whittingstall's series, River Cottage. In this series, Hugh, a London cook, downsizes by buying a farm in Dorset. There he grows all his food and meat, supplemented with fish etc. from the ocean, wild picked edibles and game. In several episodes, he goes mushrooming with serious mushroom experts. One episode even involved hang gliding.

Inspired by Hugh, I took a trip to the Utrechtseheuvelrug with Effrosyni, Jasenko, Yulia and Jorn. Yulia turned out to be a mushroom expert, although she was very modest about her skills. The book we brought turned out to be totally useless, but we ended up picking out 3 types of mushrooms we thought were edible (thanks to Yulia). Mushroom hunting turned out to be a very exciting way to enjoy the outdoors.

Now they are molding in my fridge, before I got a chance to eat them...I will definitely go again.

Life, etc.

I've been looking for a new job...in the meantime I went on a weekend to Cochem, in Germany, our exhibition opened at the NAi, and we had our housewarming. Besides, the job finding stress everything is going pretty well. This week and next week, I have some meetings so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I also watched a lot of Hitchcock in chronological order and got addicted to the BBC series, River Cottage. In a few years I hope to be able to own and work my own farm. Gotta start reading those permaculture books!

Boxer's gig at Maaiky's birthday

TGIF.

I went to the Tango today with Daniel and bumped into Maaiky and Jer, the usual suspects. They mentioned that I would be receiving pics from our past Sunday gig. Here they are:

Last weekend was Maaiky and Jer's birthday bash. We were invited to play there, and though we weren't ready to unveil our new band concept, we thought it would be awesome to play at Maaiky's (and it was). The party was an amazing Sunday evening barbecue at the anti-squat palace, casa Maaiky, Eliza, Shoert, and Eva. There was a tent, a barbecue in an old oil drum, a surplus of couches, and an audience of 30 some people. Everyone was surprisingly enthusiastic about our music, which gives me a good vibe for our coming band development.
