lazy sunday

it finally broke 80°F/27°C. it is much hotter in NC but it feels terrible here in NL. we biked the 30 km to eindhoven for the de straatfestival via ventosa - steffan in a ligfiets/lying bicycle and me in one of those fold-up-for-the-train bicycles. it was so wonderful. it felt like summer. there but we got there a little late. i wanted the ride to be relaxed and we brought beers to drink during the ride. it was sticky, people dressed up to be looked at and the night felt open.

we didn't get to see much of the art and we missed the Ongemotiveerd Kunstenaars Collectief (translation: unmotivated artists collective). i'm kind of a huge fan of them. but we engorged on seitan flapjes. and we saw a bit of Sonido Del Principe before biking back - arriving at 4 a.m. and raiding our kitchen.

lessons learned: need alien-butt-cushion pants for anything outside of city biking (i plan on making this myself from the random lounge chair cushion we have lying around), more food for the return bike trip, an ipod in a plastic cup does not produce sound loud enough to hear over bicycle chains.
