Yesterday was everything we had hoped for and everything we needed. A heartly welcome to Blijburg with good food, friendly people, helpful soundman.Blijburg is such a fun little hippie place at the Amsterdam beach where people just chill. All our friends, students and family showed up so the place was packed and it felt like a homecoming after the events yesterday. Thanks everybody for showing up and sometimes traveling for hours to get to Amsterdam.

Guglielmo Malusardi is a fan that flew over all the way from Italy to see RHP live. We have been in touch through mail . He loves RHP and he mentioned more then once that he would really like to see this band peform live. We haven't got any gig in Italy planned, so.. he just decided to fly over. Arrival friday evening around 18.00 p.m., catch the gig, meet the band, stay up all night and take the flight back saturday morning at 7.00 a.m. That was really some experience to have somebody to travel such a long way for you music. Needless to say, we felt obliged to play our ass off! Here's the man with the band.

We have to get going to Rotterdam for an early soundcheck. more pics here later this weekend.

Hello everyone! Yesterday was such a great experience. I was amazed by the vibe of this place, when we arrived it really looked like this hippie place in the middle of a desert. When we carried the equipment we had to be careful not to step on any dogs or children, because they were everywhere. We got a nice welcome from the staff and overall it was just a cool vibe. They played " These boots are made for walking" in the speaker system and they had carpets on the walls. What more can you ask for!!?
I would like to thank all the wonderful people who showed up yesterday and gave us so much support and who loved the music. Special thanks to Guglielmo and his wife who came all the way from Italy just to have a few hours with us. Thanks! You are inspiring.OK, now we are off to Rotterdam, maybe we'll see you there. Until later/ Lale
