This year it was Melt's 13th edition (and my 7th) and I had arranged 3 busses filled with people going to the festival, departing from Amsterdam, Utrecht, Arnhem and Breda. 160 people in total; a new 'Melt' record.

One of my best friends surprised me with a concert ticket for Prince, knowing I'm a big fan. He had plans to go with a girl but after several girls weren't looking forward to driving up and down to Belgium for a couple of hours, he couldn't find a date.

With people all around me going to Barcelona for the annual Sonar conference I was a bit jealous... I wanted to go to so Thursday night I was looking online for flights and actually found a cheap one, so I Just booked it, leaving Friday at 12.15.

Free Your Mind is a must go to.... It's the opening festival of the season in Holland and always it's a big success. Everybody has been hiding out all winter and now they let it all hang out...

For weeks I had planned this trip to Berlin and I was hella excited to go... Saturday around 1 I left my house and returning 10 min later for a forgotten passport. I rushed oved to the train station to find out the train was 30 minutes delayed. A good start of my trip....

Het feest der feesten: Koninginnedag in Amsterdam. Traditiegetrouw op het Weteringcircuit waar Twstd elk jaar 2 events neer zet. Dit keer was het een beetje speciaal omdat het de laatste dag was dat het DJ Cafe open zou zijn.

Koninginnenacht bij Twstd is al sinds jaar en dag 'standaard' en zo ook dit jaar. Het waren voornamelijk live acts die de line-up bevolkten, zoals Applescal, Mulder en Arjuna Schiks.

Dankzij de jaarlijke auto-loze (mid)dag is er de mogelijkheid om op de openbare weg een event te organiseren. Dat wordt sinds 2008 door Lovin Lectro georganiseerd.

The last time I visited Pollerwiesen is ages ago (at least 2 or 3 years), so when the opportunity came to get a lift to Cologne on the day of Pollerwiesen, I grabbed it and went to the Jugendpark next to the Rhine.

Ik heb rustig aan gedaan vandaag. Ik zag de aanslag op onze koningin in Apeldoorn en was met stomheid geslagen. Hoe dit mogelijk was... Maar dit mocht de pret niet verdringen. Ik moest de deur uit, naar Twstd welteverstaan.
