...and lucyann: They walked up to meet me in Amsterdam yesterday. I was waiting for them on Leidseplein in the sunshine. I saw Abs and Lucy coming from afar and recognised the ladies from the flickerpics straight away. And they new it was me (I guess my hair gave it away)
We sat in the bar “hole in the wall” for a couple of drinks before going to the Decemberists concert in the Paradiso, the original reason for their trip to A’dam.
I got a ticket, too, and could join them for the gig, which was absolutely wonderful! Lucyann ended up on stage playing with the band at one moment! I am sure we will see the shots Abs took on flicker.
We walked towards their lodgings in the pouring rain and had great laughs.
It’s been wonderful to meet you two! I am glad we clicked and felt really happy to hear Abs say by the end of the evening (in the Kashmere Lounge) that she felt she’d known me for years.
I have to return the compliment and hope I’ll see you again someday, possibly in the UK, then.
This was SO worth it!
