Didn’t post for a while. But it’s summertime, and then I am out there. And that’s
the most wise thing to do in this very hot period. And I’ve got Obi on my back,
and this guy is dead serious, you know.
Just had this workshop over here about programming applications for mobilephones.
It can be done with this program called Python. If you want to know more about
this go to this website. This bloke of this link just learned me how to make my
first application for a mobile phone ever, hehe…
I am gonna dive into this more. I see many possibilities, dude!
Anyway, new breeding season is gonna come, and I am looking foreward to it.
I am busy with several things right now, like working on an art-piece for in a
groupshow at the Centrum Beeldende Kunst, which will open upcoming September.
I am not telling you what it’s going to be about, because it will be hard to get this
project done. You will understand when it’s there, laughter…
Besides that, I am busy with the making of a short video/film with the title
‘Schwarzkopf’ which is going to be an ego-documentary thing. ‘Schwarzkopf’
will be an open story about how I experienced my panic attacks during the
last few years.
Also be working on a flyer book in the upcoming months with the work-title:
flyer’dam. Which will show a selection of the best flyers that have been made
from the period 1988 till now out of Rotterdam. Besides that it will do historical
jumps through the communication material of dada evenings in the 20’s,
Shampoo parties (out of the clan of the days of C.B. Vaandrager) in the 60’s,
Holland Pop festival in Kralingen, crazy stuff at the Eksit and the list goes on.
But, mainly flyers that have been made when House music came along until now..
And there was this Polish invitation for doing a HuMobisten thing over there,
so that sounds exciting.
That’s all for now.

We just finished these banners for the Dutch railway company. They hang there
since monday in the Central Station of Rotterdam. You can’t miss them, as you
can see on the picture above. Many thanks to Fleur Kolk and Michel Witte.

Van alles dat mijn mond uit liep
(buik vol van overlopend hart)
waren de woorden gericht aan
die ene,
de toevallige luisteraar
de regen en de wind,
juist die, die ik missen kon
Die me mateloos irriteerden
lieten twijfelen
waren slecht en stom
Maar nu alles wat ik zeg goed,
scherp,
gevat,
gedurft,
esthetisch in orde,
inhoudelijk prima is
en
alle sex die mijn lippen maakt
eerst pijlsnel nagelopen lijkt
— Verstaat u mij? Ja? Jammer —
zijn de onverstaanbare mormennen
die me zo’n nu aantrellen
(waar vannink zo vout
dat ik malvast één oor nomen heb
onze realiteit vast watten tarten)
oneindig veel bangrijker woorden
En mooie
En lieve
en echt

Last weekend we did the performance HuMobiza 2005 again, but this time in
2006. The performance festival ‘Points d’impact’ was ‘happening’ in this venue
called Usine Kugler, and was organised by Espace Piano Nobile. It was fun!
But if you go to Genève someday, watch out for the Genèvse Kikvors.
I know we did, laughter…

Yesterday Dutch ex minister of governmental renewal Alexander Pechtold
(of the democratic D’66 party) started an early campaign for the upcoming
elections which will be held probably some time around march 2007.
So, the Dutch government ‘fell’ yesterday over some real bogus reason. I
won’t go into the details (if you’re a dutch reader you might be able to find
some information right here) but I guess all of you that saw NOVA know
that mrs. van der Laan talks quite a lot when she sleeps too little, claiming
Pechtolds’ hands are no longer bound when it comes to ‘reciting from the
refound/renewed party program’.
On the other hand, Minister Verdonk should have walked when she was
asked to do so, but I guess everyone knew the VVD wasn’t going to let
their prize winning cash cow go, certainly not to start a party of her own
with other geeks running around on the old fashioned (as all hard lines
are old fashioned) right wing of the political Netherlands.
Anyway, this 1975 prog-pop album by supertramp popped into mind. This
post’s for you and your party, Lousewies. Big up, anyway!
PS. Of course my own special sweetheart, Femke Halsema (1966) made
another stunning appearance on NOVA. She probably needs no sleep as
she was as sharp and energetic and stunningly handsome as always. I
can’t wait for the next elections. Voting for her always kind of feels like
she’s saying ‘hi’ to you.

This weekend Gyz and me are off to Genève (Geneva) to do our performance
called HuMobiza. In cooperation w/ der Versucher we made a track about a
guy who had a beautiful experience on a Ibiza after party on the beach.
I guess the performance is about Holland, dreams, the importance of words,
the importance of presentation and of course Ibiza, which is a sort of Never
Neverland for Gyz and me, since we’ve never been there and probably will
never go there plus we both think we’ll just love it out there. At least I do.
It’s always a lot of fun when Gyz and me go out on a trip like this. We usually
share a hotel room and stay up laughing til it’s really late. Sometimes we add
one or two things to the stuff we’re doing the next day (I guess we’re just on
a roll just before we go to sleep, I don’t know what that is). Anyway, most of
the time we’re just being ten year old guys giggling, keeping the neighbours
awake and generally acting stupid. Boy, I’m really looking forward to such a
weekend!
Last time we went to Finland, the country with the highest suicide rate in all
of Europe. I do have a little advise for the Fins. When you’re on a five hour
train ride you don’t want to see idyllic landscapes passing by to the sound
of Simon and Garfunkel (homeward bound, I wish I wa-ha-has…) or Leonard
“I never even knew how much I wanted you, she said” Cohen. Man! It’s not
really rocket science putting one and two together!
I remember putting by bags in the compartment over my head, putting my
seat in the upright position, trying to get comfortable enough to survive the
coming hours (J.D.’s Nine Stories within reach), the train left and a second
later I heard ‘hello darkness my old friend…’. In Finland for Chrissake! The
darkest of all places. ‘Well, that’s nice when you’re feeling somewhat hyper
sensitive’ I told Gyz, but he just said ‘Who’s hyper sensitive?’. We really
don’t know each other that well.

I just made this flag, as a birthday present for my parents. It’s our family
weapon, and (ofcourse) behind it, it’s the Rotterdam flag (laughter)…
