And so I saw The Moon for the Misbegotten. Just a few facts before I give my verdict: For me Kevin Spacey is the second best actor in the Universe, I think he is fantastic, no matter what he plays. I also saw him on stage as Richard II in the Old Vic last year, [...]

Cool, cooler, coolest

September 20th, 2006

Kevin Spacey in front of the Old Vic (Picture AP) Cool. gregarius feedreader I have long been looking for a feedreader that does the things I like a feed reader to do. Now I found it. I will add the sites I regularly read to it, press refresh once or twice a day, and voila. [...]

Strange Fruit – moving

August 5th, 2006

As in moving because I filmed them, but also absolutely moving your heart. They are fantastic. Trafalgar Square, London, 4th August. (And here is a picture I quite like)

New York, New York at last?

June 27th, 2006

The last few times when I had to decide where to travel to on holiday, I had no idea where to go. So I waited. I waited because I knew that the answer to that luxury question would suddenly present itself somehow and then I would go. That happened about a year ago with Greenland. [...]

The fantastic Sultan’s Elephant theatre spectacle will be coming to Antwerp between July 6th and 9th. If you want to experience this forty-foot high mechanical elephant, the little girl, and the time-travelling Sultan , well then you know where to go. I would really really recommend to catch this spectacle. And to all the Dutch [...]

You have to know that all the theatreshows in London are being advertised as “The best show in London” and “Not to be missed” and then the name of a newspaper and the obligatory “*****”. So I went to see Stomp, in the Vaudeville theatre on Strand. Because I like drums and percussion and rhythm, [...]

[Picture on it's way] After 2 days of indoor nose blowing, today was the day to get out again. Back to work, and much better, back to London. I missed being in the city, I missed him and him, and the Southbank, and the feeling of just being here. The weather was making the evening [...]

The Playhouse Theatre I did give the half price booth of TKTS a go again yesterday. I was there on Saturday afternoon around 3pm, and the queue was impressively long. So long that I was in doubt if I wanted to queue at all. But I had my book with me, and the sun was [...]

The Old Vic Fall in London is going to be fantastic with Kevin Spacey back on stage in the Old Vic Theatre. Kevin Spacey has just announced The Old Vic’s program, and he is going to play in A Moon for the Misbegotten.

The Sultans Elephant

May 6th, 2006

Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers, for a couple of hours, on a beautiful day. “Ok I just landed. See you soon, S. Oh, ehrm … sorry about the road.” text message coming in on my mobile phone.

Blue Man Group – London

April 30th, 2006

Blue Man Group I took a picture of this bus on one of my first days in London, after my move, in the beginning of March. Already there I noticed the face of this Blue Man on the bus. And these blue faces popup on several places in London, in the underground, in cafe’s, in [...]

Microhappiness indeed

April 15th, 2006

“Hopefully it won’t take long before we’ll see a show with this guy on the London West End. He surely has talent.” The Guardian “More yak, less bull” The Evening Standard “Moving, funny, and an absolute original. And where did he get that cool outfit?” The Daily Mirror “.. and a cd with all the [...]

Richard II in Old Vic

November 5th, 2005

Ik kocht het kaartje enkel en alleen voor Kevin Spacey, wist bijna niets van Shakespeare en al helemaal niets van Richard II. Ik las het stuk in het engels, maar het oude engels was zo moeilijk te volgen dat ik opgaf. Ik vreesde er niet veel van te kunnen volgen. Maar dat viel allemaal erg [...]

Blue Orange

November 4th, 2005

I send them a mail about a month ago, with the request to get access. I didn’t actually expect them to give tourists access. But a few days later I got an email back from them, with an official invitation, they had made a reservation for me on Friday the 4th of November at 10.15. [...]
