The last day of a very interesting week. In the morning we visit a meeting of people preparing the cities birthday in two years. The Bill Haley of Amersfoort, Siem Hazewinkel demonstrates his live as an entertainer in the old days before 'Peyton Place' appeared on TV. Despite his age he lays on his back on the floor or walks into the wall to illustrate his stories.

Joke writes down all the stories.

In the afternoon Joke is invited by Harmen Zijp en Ron Jagers. Long before the local elections Harmen and Ron started a website called maarwaaromdan.nl (Buttellmewhy.nl) They investigated the art and culture agendas of the political parties. Now the new alderman art and culture is chosen they organise a tour for him and his staff to meet all the Amersfoort experimental artists. Thijs Trompert of the wooden bull is one of them.

It has been a exhausting but fruitfull week. With my 56 years I wonder how Joke manages this kind of rhytm of life.

I found 'the details with a story' that can help me develop an idea for an artpiece, a visual intervention.
One of the details is 'the world wide exchange of rough carbage by rail'.
This summer I will have a look behind the station in Liberec in Tjechie, the sister city of Amersfoort.
