last night was cocktails at irene's place. it's a monthly gig going on... and nice to meet new people, though usually everyone ends up being in the design field, and you know them through friends of friends. i did meet interesting people as usual.. heard all about dutch holidays to new york as "it's so cheap... cheaper to buy a flight, buy a computer and shop all i want, than it would be for me to stay in the netherlands.." i heard quite a bit of this last night. all i could say was thanks for supporting our economy. also, met some amazing, young journalists -- if this whole architecture scene should fail me, i'm going to become a journalist.. they have the greatest lives! this one girl went to 3 different countries this past week, and she said that was nowhere out of the norm for her job. mmm... tempting.
side note: i need to get on this anti-kraak housing list! irene's rent is something 185 euros/month -- off overtoom, access to roof terrace, bigger than my shoebox -- works for me.
