Merel after dark

Last night I went to the movies with the lovely Merel Barends. We saw ‘The American’ by Anton Corbijn in a special preview. Corbijn himself was present also and did a Q&A after the viewing. I thought the film was very good. I loved Clooney’s dark and serious performance, the locations were full of atmosphere and the Italian actress who played the leading lady was stunning.
After we left the cinema, Merel and I went for a drink to discuss the film.

A video about the Q&A will follow later this week.

At the end of the first day of Manuscripta, Natasja, Kees, Hanco and I sat down and had some drinks. Here Natasja is probably talking about something important, but I can’t remember what it was.

Coffee @ Stanislavski

Stanislavski, Leidseplein 12:00 pm
Yesterday, Jeroen Mirck and I met for coffee at Stanislavski. When I walked on, he was reading Het Parool. The newspaper I write for about comic books. While we talked about the media, his new job at Deloitte, blogging and working for the VARA (he just left the broadcasting agency, while I started a couple of months ago), I noticed something different about his face. Then it occurred to me that he has shaven off is beard. 🙂 (See also this entry.)

Shot through the window of the café.

Meeting Marcella

Vertigo, Vondelpark, 12:30 pm
Today I had a lunch date with Marcella. We met at university when we both studied film. We’ve kept in contact since, although thanks to busy schedules it had been a while since we talked. So we had a lot of catching up to do.

Talking with Merel B.

Café Vertigo, Vondelpark, 11:50 am
Comic book artist Merel Barends and I had an early Monday morning meeting to discuss everything from comic books, life and blogging. She has just started her own blog, which pleases me very much, since I’ve been nagging her to start one for ages. Check out De Woelige Barends.

Last week’s meet & greets

Last week posts about my short trip to Delft have occupied this blog. So since none of last week’s photographs could be published, I’ll make a special post with the pics I took while meeting with some of my friends.

She’s a writer and pr-specialist who loves comic books.

Nicoline Hermans, Le Pain Quotidien, 12:45 pm
She is a very good psychologist/HR consultant who wrote blogposts for me while I ran an website for Intermediair back in the day. She actually still writes them.

Paul Bodoni, Comic shop Lambiek, 7:00 pm
Bodoni and I met for the first time, actually at the comic shop Lambiek, where there’s a get-together every Friday afternoon. Bodoni is a comic book artist who currently lives in Sweden.

Jeroen Mirck, Stanislavski, 12:30 pm
Jeroen is a journalist, a blogger and a local politician (but still a nice guy actually). Today he started a new job at Deloitte Innovation. Recently he has grown a beard. Just so you know.
