A long time ago

Posted by Tjeerd on March 25, 2006
It’s again already a while ago I wrote something, so here I am again to notify you of my activities. A few weeks ago we exercised in MCA (MuziekCentrumAlbrandswaard) and that was really cool. We had the biggest room (5×7 meters?) with a couch, airconditioning and very good equipment. It’s a pity we didn’t have a cam to take some pictures of it. I played every instrument which was available there. So I’ve played the acoustisch drums, the keyboard, bass guitar and the electric guitar. Playing acoustic drums is really different than electronic drums. O, btw, check out Buddy Rich here. He is really the snare man. Ok, ofcourse there are a lot more good drummers out there, but Buddy is a nice one to watch.  

Tomorrow we will practice again in MCA again and this time with an extra guitarplayer and perhaps even a female singer, but that depends on how she feels (she was a bit sick this week). I think it’s a bit too heavy to start with a female singer, but perhaps it works out ok. Don will take his e-kit and install that one there, so we can combine the two drumkits. We will just see how it goes.

What more to tell? O yes, I installed DOSBox to play some old games like Keen, Dune 2 etc. Especially the oldskool Adlib-sounds are great.

Shoes, Dutch, LED throwies

Posted by Tjeerd on March 1, 2006
  It again has been a while since my last log, but I am back. First thing I had to do last week is buy new shoes, because I have to visit a wedding soon and my mountainshoes are not really that nice. So the first thing you do is look around in shoe-shops. All kind of stupid shoes to look at, but none looks ok. Then you have the shoes which looked ok to me, but too nerdy. I went to the Dump and there I bought my nice boots, as you can see on the left.

I am also thinking about writing my logs in Dutch, because it would be a lot better to express my thoughts, I think. At least it’s easier for me to write ;) So if you think I should do that, leave a comment and perhaps I’ll write in Dutch.

I found a nice site with some LED-stuff on it. It’s some sort of LED-on-a-gluestick which you can throw onto a building (finally it will fall off). Some creative people out there, watch it over here. And what about this guy? It’s the best stoneskipper in the world. I’d be happy if I could throw a stone 5 ’skips’.
