"It's all go on this job"
A while ago I wrote that I was working on a movie and the Pre-production that goes along with it. Today the hell that is called pre-production officially ended. It's not completely finished, there's still 2 parts to be cast and props to be collected. But according to the planning we start filming next wednesday.
Holding auditions, arranging locations, revising the screenplay, emailing the participants and making a production book, are just some of the things me and my team did these last eight weeks. The last few days have been full of breakdown sheets and call sheets. Luckely it's almost over. Next week we start filming the first scene's in our nations capital, Amsterdam. If everything goes according to plan we will need 6 days of filming and we will be finished the 28th of November. I'll show some stills as soon as I can.

Keep ya Fingers Dusty
Just got back from the spot, Vintage Hunting and all! "MC fuzzy wake-up" picked me up in the cinquecento and we headed down to the vintage graveyard where the attic is made out of vinyl. After about an half hour of dust inhalation we were dehydrated (partially from last night) so we took off. With the dust still on our fingers we cruised home. But off course we didn't go empty handed. This is what I found on my expedition.

Midnite Sessions!!
While Mesdemoiselles was enjoying HudMo @ Trouw and glittering with her girlfriends, I was enjoying a good old fashion time at De Pul. It was time for another edition of Villa 13, and this time with a pretty interesting and very enjoyable line-up. Villa 13 stands for, local bands getting a chance to perform at a local venue, De Pul! My second home from home..! This Villa was packed with U-Town latest sensations, such as Victoria´s Secret, El Chupacabra and my personal favorite The Final Arrow.

Foto: Willem Kuijpers
The Final Arrow consists of 4 bandmembers. Fersy van der Zee (guitar), Mounir Chadli (guitar), Wesley Bersi (bass), Wessel Kuijpers "Yeah I spelled your name right this time"(drums). I attended one of their rehearsels a couple of weeks ago, for a possible artwork cooperation (which I still wanna be part of, in any ways guys!) I was very impressed by their unique sound and to be honest it gave me chills down my spine.
Villa 13
About threehundredfifty people assembled for this edition of Villa 13, which is quite a large crowd. The Final Arrow was the third band in the line-up of the evening. Their live show consisted of 4 tracks of about 10 minutes each. I was working during the whole show, but fortunaly my favorite vrijwilligers begeleider contacted me in the morning to snare me in to the position of bartender near the stage. So I could see the whole show together with.., who else would I share a bar with but! So I was being punished to a night of .... and useless ....! Which actually wasn't a punishment after all. Anyways, the live show of The Final Arrow went A-ok and caused chills down my spine once again.
Besides what they called 'a massive mistake' themselves, and of course Ad Ketchup who stagedived to flatline in the crowd, It was all good!

Foto: Willem Kuijpers
After the clean up, Bam-A-Lot, Metal Schmetal and me hooked up for some after brewsky's and laughter. Kijkomhoogsammie might even have a picture or two of it. So check them blogs regularly!
That's it for the night session, It's way to late to continue!!

Again and again
The rough (mostly drunk) weekends just keep on going these days. Last saturday my main man Bam-A-Lot was celebrating his 21st birthday by going to Doornroosje for some glitch, beats, beers and laughs. You can read all about it on his blog. There's no need to tell the same story twice and he can tell it like no other. Or maybe it's because I just don't know the whole story anymore. So just take your cursor and click click.

This is what I encountered on my way back early in the morning. Zeg Jeej!!! to T-Moon for taking the shot.

Hungover for Days
Man what a weekend!!! It took me a couple of days to recover from it. I didn't even blog monday, on the count that I couldn't look at my computer screen. It made me all fuzzy.... Like A-Hole?? And yesterday I couldn't think of anything to write about. I'll start from the beginning
Saterday night, WiggerSlam Sam and Krustin Timberlake came to visit me in Arnhem. We went to Luxor for some breakcore and beers. It was allright, but not nearly what I expected from Bong Ra. Anyways, after some beer and vodka we still had all the fun we came for. Around 3AM we headed home for some beers and pizza.

The day after, was the day of "Definitie van Dopeheid", which is one of the biggest dutch HipHop festivals this small country has to offer. It's quite the happening, 2500 hiphop enthusiasts and 42 different hiphop acts all on one day. We left for 013 Tilburg at 1PM. The train ride over to Tilburg was already a highlight. Lots of laughing and conversating, and the first beers ofcourse.
Once we were inside we went straight to the bar just as planned. Our plan was to get drunk and then get drunk some more. In the meanwhile Timmietex was about to start his show in the Batcave (also known as the Sweatcave), this is the smallest stage in the 013. His showcase was pretty fun, and as always Timmietex cracks me up. Snaptuh!!?! Then it was back to the bar. Three "Halve Liters" please!!! Next up on the big stage was MO & Brakko. Winners of De Grote Prijs 2008, and one of my favorites of this year.
Checked out a part of Manu's show and after that Fresku. Which was good, i think?!? I wasn't really paying attention cuz them halve liters were making it kind of impossible. Which is a good thing considering that's what we came for. The serious party mode kicked in when my all time favorites came on stage. Kleine Jay & Cartes! I love their music and I'm a fan or their live shows. Why? I don't know, maybe it's because the are also from Brabant, but I think it's because the are not chagerijnig. I spoke with Cartes after the show, and congratulated him on the succes of their show by saying it was 'easily the best show' that day. I Also asked him what we could expect from the Bosschenaren. He told me about a mixtape soon and the new album in 2010. I'm looking forward to that! There will probably be a big ass release party, just like last time.

T Moon
Once we were inside we went straight to the bar just as planned. Our plan was to get drunk and then get drunk some more.

Winners of De Grote Prijs 2008, and one of my favorites of this year.Food Break!!!
After a loud trip through the city of Tilburg, we got in line at a packed McD's, ordered some menu's and chewed em down whilst herassing some chick who was sleeping on the table. She must have passed out or something. I mean, who goes to sleep inside a McDonalds right? Anyway, we literaly ate our meals in 3 minutes or so. We did so because Zo Moeilijk was about to start their show. Since T Moon is a Moeiligan, he didn't want to miss out on their show. Enjoyed it, enjoyed the beers even more. But hé, that ain't no news.
Cartes
Checked out a part of Manu's show and after that Fresku. Which was good, i think?!? I wasn't really paying attention cuz them halve liters were making it kind of impossible. Which is a good thing considering that's what we came for. The serious party mode kicked in when my all time favorites came on stage. Kleine Jay & Cartes!

He told me about a mixtape soon and the new album in 2010. I'm looking forward to that! There will probably be a big ass release party, just like last time.Meanwhile back at 013!! Spinal and Steen climbed up on stage to do their show. I still don't really get it?!? I mean, I know it's all one big act, but why do all the kids like it so much? Anyways, I drank more than I watched their show. I wanted to be fully energized to watch Zwart Licht. Which was one big explosion!! That's the best way I can describe their show. You just gotta love 'em! I mean look at the top picture of them on stage, together with the rest of the crowd. Says it all!!
After that, we checked Winne for a couple of minutes, but then we had to leave to catch the last train to Arnhem. This is where we met them boys from Elst. Had some good laughs with them on the train. One even made me accindentaly shoplift a coke, from the store at Tilburg CS. Oops.... My bad!! After one hell of a train ride back to arnhem, we ran into Shakira. One of the hosts of the day. The night ended with paint, that's all I can tell you. Here are some more pictures, for the whole set check my Flickr.
Shout Outs to Wiggerslam Sam, Krustin Timberlake, T Moon J, Bemmel Girls (Anouk, Kim, Eveliene-Anna), Bennie the Kid, Cartes, Marie-Louise and ofcourse them boys from Elst!!!! Luuk, Paul, Jasper Stan and Brian, I see You!! Am I forgetting someone??... I don't know, probably... If so leave a comment, well you can leave comments anyway.

"Ze willen dat het geld regent"
Got Gold?? ... I do!!
I Just got back from Amsterdam where I closed the deal. I e-mailed the now previous owner two times today. Once to say that I really really want it (which was pretty obvious to anyone who read my post yesterday), and another email with my final offer in it. He mailed me back in the afternoon, to say that the offer I made was sufficient. And that we could meet later today. So I left for the Dam around 4pm, together with the mony-man. We had to do some field research for the film involving subways. So Amsterdam was our first choice. Anyways I will continue. I arranged a meeting with the mystery seller at 7pm in front of the Smullers outside of Central Station. I was an hour early so I decided to call Barbarella, who was in the middle of helping a friend with her shopping spree. After a brief get-together with the "Queen of the Universe", I went by Rush-Hour for some Beat Dimensions. Then it finally was time to do business and get what I came for. We met at the pre-arranged spot and time. I checked the record and paid the man. Before I left to catch my train I asked him why he was selling it. His answer: I had two of them!!
Without further ado, I present to you:
Terilekst - Goudkoorts
This might not mean anything to you, but it means a lot to me. I've been looking for this record quite some time now. It was released in 2003 by Hoefijzer Tegen Kanus Records.
I almost caught one at 013 once, a couple of years ago. Terilekst himself threw one in the crowd during the Spacekees & Terilekst show at Definitie van Dopeheid IX. I missed it about an inch or 12.
Thanks to Robin (the previous owner) and of course Baron von Bietbauer, Mr Turrie ven Leks I am now listening to a dutch hiphop classic. Keep them bangers coming Turrie!!

Feelin kinda feverish....
And this time it's not about polaroids. I'm hoping to become the new owner of a record that I've been looking for, for a long time. The current owner is selling it on the internets, but he wants people to bid on it. I want to buy it directly from him, no bidding, no bullshit! I can even pick it up tomorrow since I'm in the neighbourhood anyways. So please mister, sell me your record!! I realize that it has no use telling you guys this, but I'm in a sharing mood today. The one thing I'm not gonna share with you is which record it is, just to be shure that Bam-A-Lot doesn't beat me to the punch. Although I don't really think he wants it as bad as I do. Speaking of "Mr. I Rub the Reset EP in your Face." He couldn't resist to wander into the blogosphere himself. Check it out here. This will cause me to be surfing the internets even more, and wasting precious time.

I'll keep you posted about the record .... in the meanwhile checkout gijskast.com for some amazing illustrations and more. This very talented dutch illustrator is getting a lot of work since he published the illustrated phone book called "Böhnhase, De Zwarte Gids." I love the way he uses raw and edgy black lines, and the coloration is done with a simple ballpoint or marker.

Check out the Volkskrant serie on his website, definitely one of my favorites.

Late Night Special
It's late, but not too late to post some unnecessary bullshit ofcourse. So here goes nothing. I woke up this morning with a sudden urge to clean. So I cleaned up most of my messy room, did some loundry, then cleaned the kitchen (thoroughly) and took out the trash. After that I did some grocery shopping and cooked up some "Spaghetti a la Moi." The rest of the evening I watched the latest 4 episodes of my favorite show, although I already saw them 2 times, so this was the third time. Only this time my main man on the Rappardstraat, The T was there too. After that we played Skate on PS3, which is to my opinion, the best skateboard vidgame there is. Anyways, I'm doing alright if I say so myself. Besides being a little tired, I'm still laying off the greenery, and makin moves to make our film a succes.
In school we had a photo asssignment this week, in which had to recreate a picture. This is the result.
The painted bricks from last week
I want to do a big shoutout to Mr. Swartz aka "Swatie" aka "from the Chandellar" aka "I make a Nolly Heel look like peanuts" aka "Mr. I roll my blunts fat not flat" aka "I never get tired of Bar-B-Que" aka ... oh well you get the picture. Me and Mr. Swartz are both big Guy Ritchie fans. Once, we watched "Snatch" two times in a row and for the fifth time that week. He's one of those dudes I can chill with on a daily basis without getting tired of. His birthday was last friday, Happy Birthday son!!! I'm sorry I wasn't there my man. This one's for you.

I'm sorry that I can't show you the original to compare it with. But I assure you, this one is much scarier. On the count that it is me in the photo and not some actor or model.
This was it for my late night special. I'm of to bed, to dream about some weird shit probably. I'll tell you all about that some other time.

I paid Jay

My monhtly vinyl budget has just been cut in half. After paying Jay, and keeping his legacy alive, I'm listening to "Jay Stay Paid." Bobbin my head to some spacecowboy shit. Just thought I should let the internets know I'm makin my way through vinyl land to end up in wax heaven, or maybe Polyvinyl chloride hell. I certainly don't hope that's the case, but who knows, maybe Satan is a bad ass DJ. Anyways just tellin you and yours about my latest addiction. Should you also have such an addiction, comment me about some good rehab clinics or ways lay off the vinyl. There's one thing I'm sure of, I ain't going cold turkey.

Preproduction, Hunting and Laughing
It's been a while... I've been very busy at school. Still working on the film. Revising the screenplay for the 11th time, looking for locations, finding actors. Its crazy enough that I'm working late almost every day, so when I get home I'm not really in the mood for blogging. But there is good news too!! I've got a new gadget. Now I can post anywhere at anytime. Unfortunately my internet access starts at the end of this month. So I've got to make do with what I got until I'm connected. Anyways.. to continue my story about the film, I've planned 2 auditions, 1 this up coming week and another one next week. There are about 20 actors and actrices coming to the auditions. It's really exciting but also kind of intimidating. But the victory of the week is definitely the fact that I hussled my way in to the Palace of Justice. I've talked to some people there from Press and Communication and the are allowing me to film a scene there. Never expected it to go this fast, but it's on...


My vintage hunt from last week got me some new old headphones.
After an hour of youtubing (is it verb, yes it is) I found this again.
And part two of course.

NFF09

Today I'm gonna go to Utrecht for the annual film festival. It's the twenty ninth edition of the Dutch film festival. I bought two tickets to go see "Het leven uit een dag" written an directed by Mark de Cloe. I'm really exited to go to the NFF for the first time. I've got some good company to make it a day not to forget. Here's the trailer of the film that i'm visiting today. Tomorrow my and my class are going to see two more films. "Angst" by Michiel van Erp and "Lover of Loser" by the book of Carry Slee. A lot of the films from the festival are also being aired on tv. Yesterday I watched "Duska", a great film by Jos Stelling. There's almost no dialogue in the whole movie and it still doesn't get boring. Great shots, good acting and a supreme screenplay. Definitely one to watch. That's it for now, I'm of to Utrecht!!
Tip:
Watch the film festival news every day at 19:45 on NPS (Nederland 2) if you want to keep up to date about the festival.

Beat Dimensions!!!
Excitement all around!!! I'm listening to the newly released Beat Dimensions compilation. It's the second volume that's been produced by a collective of producers from all over the world. The selection of beats is exquisite! Cinnaman and Jay Scarlett created another volume that features some of the most fattest beatstrumentals I've heard until now.

Progress??? Posted???
I said "I'll keep the progress posted" what I ment was "I'm pretty sure I won't be posting a thing while I'm in Arnhem." I hope I didn't dissappoint anyone... Nah anyways.
The team meetings have been in full effect, it was a bit hard to start off without any idea whatsoever. But after a couple of meetings we had an idea about what we wanted the film to look like. So I was satisfied with the fact that we were all on the same page. Yesterday we held another meeting which was quite useful. We came up with a storyline that we all liked. Now I don't want to tell to much because of the competition from the other groups. So I'm going to keep it confidential until I'm sure that I know what I can tell and what not.
This weekend is "De Pul Weekend." De Pul is one of the first music venues in Holland. I've been doing voluntary work them for about seven or eight years now. Every year they invite all the volunteers for a weekend off somewhere in Europe. This year we won't be leaving the country. Were staying in some place called Lunteren. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be crazy again, it always is. We leave on friday and come back on sunday. So no blogging this weekend... well maybe sunday night then.
Next tuesday I will have my first day of school this year, and I'm actually looking forward to it. I get to see all my classmates and teachers again. I reckon this will be a short day but still. The rest of the week we'll be introducing the fresh fish around. Here fishy fishy... Nah I'm just kidding!!! Untill next time.

Back to Work
My vacation is over!! I've been fucking around long enough and I need to focus on my next year of school. I've got a big project coming up the first half year of my 3rd year at VEC. So tomorrow I'm going back to my residence in Arnhem and start working on a script. The rest of the team is coming over in the evening for our first meeting. I hope we can have some decent work done by the end of the night. I'll keep the progress posted.

Useless Lucid Pint Drinking Till 4 AM
I've been neglecting my blog for a couple of days now... which I'm not especially proud of. So I will have to make up for it by writing a long blog, or is it a large blog. I don't know what it's called but it doesn't really matter as long as I'm writing something!! right?? So I'll begin by telling you that I've been reading about Existentialism ever since I've watched Waking Life again. I havn't listened to any other song but "The Gun" by Lou Reed, and I have not been going to sleep before 4 a.m. the last 5 days. The last thing is actually starting to feel normal, which it isn't. I actually want to get some more sleep so that I can have lucid dreams. For all you people who don't know what lucid dreaming is check Wiki or something.
I've been having lucid dreams for over almost 2 years now and it's one of the best things I've experienced in life. It's just amazing to be in control of your dreams and being able to do almost anything. If you are interested and want to experience it for yourself I suggest you start researching and training yourself to recognise it. There are lots of ways to try and learn. Someone called ReeceJones87 really helped me out with understanding how it works. Enough about that...
Here's the picture of the graffiti I did a couple of days ago. I also took some other pictures, check'em out on my Flickr.
This is all the blogging I'll be doing for today cause it's getting late and I still want to go out and drink pints. It didn't really turn out to be a very long blog after all. So I leave you with one of my favorite quotes from RocknRolla...
"If a slap don't work, you cut'em or you pay'em but you keep the receipts cause this ain't the maffia. Now go out there and look for the painting!!" Mark Strong as Archy

14th of August
Last nights party was excellent... Good music, good people, good times. First we went to Mr. Kuipers his house in Lent. Which is on the other side of the river that runs through Nijmegen. We had a couple of drinks and laughs and headed for Merleyn. I forgot how small Merleyn actually was and realised that I hadn't been there since Kohfie Konnect performed there. (October last year) The night ended with a conversation about one of my favorite subjects to talk about, Dreaming! Mr. Kuipers and I were discussing scenes from the movie 'Waking Life'. It's about a guy who's having lucid dreams and false awakenings. It's kind of a documentary like film, with a fiction story line and a hell of a visual look. It's not a movie you should watch for entertainment, but if you're interested in life's questions be shure to watch it. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Check the trailer...
Last night also had some weird moments, like when I met JeSuisPuck. I've been reading her blog for about two weeks now. So I was pretty suprised to hear that she was coming to Mr. Kuipers that evening. I had never seen here before and to be honest I was expecting someone a little taller. (Puck if you're reading this, I apologize) It was an interesting experience to meet someone who you know something about because you've been reading their blog. Anyways!!! When I woke up this morning my ass was stuck to Mr. Kuipers his Fatboy. But there was no time for shenanigans. We sped off to the bus station where our bus was still waiting for us. I managed to take one polaroid of the aftermath. Speaking of polaroids, while I was vintage hunting yesterday, at my favorite spot. I found another two polaroid camera's. A polaroid 1000 with polatronic flash and a polaroid 2000 together for the lovely price of 5 euro's. I laugh at the people who buy one of the internet. I'll try to digitalize the rest of the polaroids as soon as possible.
I spend the rest of the day graffiti painting a wall @ my local HOF. I'm going back for a picture later this evening. Signing off for today. Until we read again!!!

Solar Weekend
As you can see I've been trying to post as much as I can these days. This next weekend I'll won't be posting anything, cause I'll be at Solar Festival. A wonderfull 2 day festival organised by Extrema. Who have granted me a weekend pass for the work I did for them. Special thanks to Miss van der Broek.
I'm really looking forward to it. I went there for the first time last year and it was amazing. There is lots to see and to do. Here are some shots I took with my phone last year.

Garbage Pail Beats
Every couple of weeks or so Bam-A-Lot gives me a shitload of names and myspaces to check out. Since one of the last times he gave me such a list, I've been listening to a lot producers. One of them is Cupp Cave. A producer from belgium who made a sick album, with an even sicker cover called "Garbage Pail Beats." 32 tracks of head bumpin, knuckle thumpin beats....




Availlable at Rush Hour. (also in different color variations)

I would like to get my hands on that!!! O yeah he has a blog too...

Illustrated Video
Well since I was planning to post a video I might as well do it. These are some tests I did for one of my latest projects. It's a combination of techniques. First I loaded the footage I shot and chopped it up in single frames using Final Cut. Then I used Photoshop for the cutout filter, and pasted it all back together with Final Cut again. This gave it somewhat of an illustrated look.

Terminated Account!!!!
Because of all the Polaroid madness around here, I was planning to post a short film I was working on a couple of years ago. It's called "Paranoid Polaroid." But unfortunately the one person who posted it on youtube terminated his account. Bollocks!! Thanks a lot Niek Filmfabriek... Anyways, sorry Dr. Tizzle... I'll upload it myself someday.
Project Le Tour
Thanks to the good people of Fontanel I found a site, with some amazing photo's on it. As soon as you visit the site there's a great intro which shows that simplicity in design and typography still works. At least for me it does. Check it here.
