This magazine came in the mail as a freebie the other day, its a joint venture between Fotografie museum Foam in Amsterdam and dutch designagency Vandejong.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good and well-put-together this is. From the press release: ‘Foam magazine has become an exhibition space in itself. Each edition features a specific theme, which unites six diverse portfolios of 16 pages each. Foam magazine will be released four times a year at the start of each season’.

Right, I’m off to put my subscription in the post - www.foammagazine.nl.

Today I started training for an Ardennes mtb-trip we’ve got planned for next weekend (which is also a sneaky attempt to escape Queensday). I did a very enjoyable 25km ride around Amsterdam (Centre, Zeeburg), and although it was quite windy (it is always windy in Holland) my excellent new mtb makes the ride enjoyable all the same.

Sean made a bunch of twitter accounts and a special twitter feed to keep track of our teams’ movements. Here’s mine - thanks mate, setting it up to work with my phone now.

Back in Amsterdam for a bit to sort out a few things.. went out for a visit to the local MTB shop this morning, Digg this Specialized one very much, might need it.

One of the main reasons I am in the UK is obviously the amazingly beautiful weather - this mobshot was taken Saturday last week at Waterlow Park in the Highgate area. Looks like the Vondelpark don’t you think?

So the plan was that me and Iain would go and see Junior Boys in Camden yesterday. But then we both forgot to go. Next sunday Junior Boys play Paradiso in Amsterdam and Cathy, Woes and Jade are going. If they don’t forget. Which I’m sure they won’t.

Update 25 feb - SMS update just came in stating ‘JB’s rocked the house’.

Update 27 feb - Woes just sent me a few pics of the Amsterdam concert - I blatently cropped one up to fit my blog. Blasphemy, I know.

I’ve received quite a few very nice emails regarding this article in dutch advertising magazine Adformatie which I had not yet seen myself - thank you Jeroen for digging it up and sending it over.
