Als ik langsloop raap ik de gave exemplaren die gevallen zijn. Maar vorige week had ik mijn vriend mee, die is lekker lang en kon ook bij een paar takken en ze plukken 😁

Last day of the #RockWerchter festival we had a bit of a gap in our schedule, so visited the dance area. And I also finally found the good pizza!

It is an amazing venue, great sound and atmosphere. The whole thing is only temporary for the festival! There is also a smaller tent like it, a smaller open stage and a big huge main stage! It is one of the biggest festivals of Europe πŸ’–.

Waiting for #Elbow now. We started heavy with Amenra from Belgium, then Beth Giibons who was wonderful. More to come, too! Feet are hurting already πŸ˜‹ #RockWerchter

Now waiting in the big tent (the Barn) for #Underworld. We're early so still empty. But I am sure it will be full, and it can fit almost 20.000 people!

Many, many years ago when I was young, I had dyed parts of my hair bright pink. I still had an unopened bottle of magenta #stargazer dye left, but never used it. Must have been over 20 years old(!). Last weekend I finally had the courage to use it again. Very happy with the result πŸ˜ŠπŸ’–.

5-panel comic. (1) [teacher with long hair next to whiteboard] TEACHER: I’m supposed to give you the tools to do good science. (2) [teacher addressing students] But what *are* those tools? Methodology is hard and there are so many ways to get incorrect results. What is the magic ingredient that makes for good science? (3) TEACHER: To figure it out, I ran a regression with all the factors people say are important: [embedded list in sub-panel, cut off at end] Outcome variable: correct scientific results. Predictors: collaboration; skepticism of others’ claims; questioning your own beliefs; trying to falsify hypotheses; checking citations; statistical rigor; blinded analysis; financial disclosure; open data (4) TEACHER: The regression says two ingredients are the most crucial: 1) genuine curiosity about the answer to a question, and 2) ammonium hydroxide. (5) STUDENT: Wait, why did *ammonia* score so high? How did it even get on the list? LONG HAIR: ...And now you’re doing good science!

Well, less important for Pulp, anyway πŸ˜‰. Amsterdam is great, but there are many places in the NL which are even better, less crowded with tourists 😊

Amsterdam! It was a show before they had some big festival dates planned around Spain, I think. Bit like a big rehearsal in a less important country 😊. They had not been since the 90s or something 😁

Born Prince Rogers Nelson today in Minneapolis in 1958, Prince was talented, with a matchless work ethic. Before he was 20, he had signed with Warner Bros. By the spring of 1978 he released his first lp – For You (featuring β€œI’m Yours” & β€œMy Love is Forever”). No one in music ever outworked Prince.
