I am here for Friends

About Me

Besides living and working in Rotterdam, I work as a volunteer and board member at the Baroeg venue and as a volunteer barman/DJ/barfly at the Dynamo rehearsal centre.
Furthermore, I play darts in the RDO winter league ( Niettepijlen - div 2A ) and the HDO summer league ( Trampolini's ) and like to watch just about all home games and a few away matches of FC Twente from Enschede from the stands.
Besides all that, I'm a huge music fan and love to collect albums, DVDs, CDs, 7"s, anyway, the lot... I also go to a lot of shows/festivals, mainly in The Netherlands/Europe and I love to talk about music, listen to music, read about... Well, you get my drift. I was one of the founders of the Enschedese HeadBangers Organisatie , I organise the Dutch Metal Battle and I also write for Quintessence , an ezine specialised in extreme music.
I also like to think I'm a bit of a whisky connaisseur, although the term 'fanatic whisky lover/drinker/abuser' would perhaps be correct as well, from time to time. Some of my favourite whisky's are Caol Ila, Laphroaig, Aberlour and Cardhu.

Victory!

In a very good match, FC Twente defeated Swedish Kalmar FF with 3-1 - all three goals by Sharbel Touma - enough to wipe out the 1-0 defeat we suffered abroad. This means we'll be going into Europe thi...
