Thank you @thedreamsyndicateband for bringing me along on your Northern European tour. I've had so much fun and so little sleep. :) #tour #backliner #roadie #daintybelch #music

This is the Gelredome arena. Last time I was here was 4 november 2000 - when I went to my very first concert ever - by miss Britney Spears. My parents got me tickets for my birthday and it was the most amazing night ever. I got to see my then-idol, was so impressed with the size of the arena and I got to stay up way past bedtime.
Skip to 18 years later: the past two days I have been working in the accreditation crew at Justin Timberlake and Imagine Dragons shows at this very venue. Life is funny sometimes.

Today I did something I've been wanting to do for the longest time: playing guitar on stage. Armed with one of my favorite Distillers-songs, an amazing supergroup of musicians, a small, nearly sold-out venue, a racing heartbeat and a couple of other singers who would also chase their dreams that day, I stepped on stage.

Life has a sense of humor, though; yesterday, when I put my guitar down for a sec, the headstock broke off. Like, the entire thing just snapped off. Cue panic attack.
Luckily, @yoramvdvelde lent me one of his far-too-metal-for-me babies and I was able to play today.
It was so much fun. I'm going to do this more often.

We've been building the @fortarock festival this past week. Scorching heat, massive thunder, and my pale ass even tanned a little despite SPF50. Opening tomorrow! #fortarock2018 #stageproduction #sitecrew #spf50

Killing time before my singing lessons. Think I'm going to buy a can of coke soon. #makingfriendswithants #completevocaltechnique #finallyadayoff

Yesterday I ran on pain killers, cough drops and nasal spray, but I recorded backing vocals in the studio, together with two other amazing singers. Today I am sick, but it was worth it. #seethefuture #feelthebeauty #oooh #aaah #vocals #music #sound #studio #fun!!

Why we didn't think of the decorate-your-workplace-with-pictures-of-our-faces-on-a-scanner-theme 3 years earlier is beyond me. #copies #office #fun #juststarting

It's one of my favourite feelings: opening the door of a big, dark, empty music venue, deactivating the alarm, and starting with the production of the day - all alone. Sitting on the floor in an empty hall, in complete silence, knowing that there will be over one thousand people just a few hours later.

Leave it up to me to take a selfie the second there's no fireworks in the air. Here's the selfie anyway. Fuck that shit. #newyearsrevolution #emptysky #2018

Don't you love the way this looks? I fucking love @carnivale.nl so much. An old-fashioned circus and theatre-festival, with street performers and variety shows. Fear to sexy strippers, excitement to fire, dance, motors and a boxing ring. Oh, and my dad performs there. 🙂
Now back to being sick.

Today, for my birthday, I went to my favorite zoo. I made friends with a camel that wouldn't stop following me, saw a hippo twirl, played around with prairie dogs (that are mostly balls with eyes), went to the garden of butterflies, saw some lions fuck one single lady (yes, literally), and saw these MAGICAL fairytale-like sea turtles. Now, drinks with friends. Today is phenomenal. #birthday #zoo #iloveanimals #timeforalcohol

You can always tell how high the drum risers were in my last production by looking at the bruises on my shins. #ilovemyjob #stagemanager #drumriser

This beautiful fucking gem of a sad flower is forever mine now. Because no picture does the amount of detail and amazing style justice, here is an overview. I will gladly show you the real thing when we meet. Done by the lovely @inyantattoo #monsterinktattoo #blackwork #deadflower #impulse

After empirically establishing blondes have equal amounts of fun as pink-haired girls, I went back to my trusty pink. I feel like myself again. I'M BACK BITCHES! #wine #morewine #pink #hairdye

I am sick. Sick night owls are still night owls, though. Wearing my favourite leopard pajama pants, trying some quick paintings on a sample piece of hot pressed paper. I never knew I liked hot pressed paper but apparently I do.
