The Streets in Amsterdam and Rotterdam 2020 (Rescheduled and cancelled again)

The Netherlands, July 17th 2020

Yesterday we were supposed to see The Streets in Rotterdam and today we were supposed to see them in Amsterdam. They were rescheduled from April but they got cancelled again because of Corona.

The Streets in Amsterdam 2020 (cancelled)

The Netherlands, 9th of April 2020

On Roos’ 4th birthday, November 19th 2019, Strange Days indeed sent me a photo. The Streets are doing 3 gigs in a row in The Netherlands in 2020.

I asked Mike for help

The Streets Amsterdam 2018

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 12 April 2018

After the announcement of Mike bringing back the Streets, I decided that I could continue with the website again. Now I host it myself (no more Tumblr).

Mike sent me a private message on Instagram on October 21st 2017 saying:

Mike Skinner Bielefeld 2017

Bielefeld, Germany, 4 November 2017

Máté told me that Mike and Dave would come to Bielefeld on November 4th 2017. OZZY!!!!!!! We have to go!!!!! Can we go? Ozzy and I are going. It’s easy because it’s a Saturday. Mark will take care of Roos. Thanks again Máté for letting me know. What to do without you?!

Mike Skinner Stuttgart 2016

Stuttgart, Germany, 5 November 2016

Mark was supposed to drop me off at the train station but he was running with my brother still. I dropped myself off by car, Mark would pick it up later. Roos stayed with my mum.

At 1:30 I took the train from Hillegom to Rotterdam. About an hour later I arrived there. I bought myself and Ozzy a Starbucks. Then I left the station to Ozzy’s car. Oz was waiting for me.

Mike Skinner Cologne 2014

Cologne, Germany, 26 April 2014

Máté told me that Mike would be playing in Cologne. I’ve seen Mike there 2 years ago. It’s only 2 ½ hours drive.

Ozzy and I are going but it’s the same day as Kingsday in Holland. It’s the birthday of our king we’re celebrating. His actual birthday is on April 27th but that is a Sunday this year, and out of respect for people who go to church on a Sunday they don’t celebrate on Sunday’s, they celebrate it that year on a Saturday instead. That’s the case this year. We only have a king since April 30th 2013. he took over the throne from his mum (Game of Thrones). We used to celebrate Queensday on April 30th, this year the date changed. I need to wear orange, otherwise I’ll look stupid in Amsterdam. That means I will have to wear orange to Mike’s gig too. I am not going home first.  Sorry lovely German people.

I saw a message on Facebook from de Melkweg. Mike is coming to Amsterdam. He will do a DJ set. FINALLY! Last time he was here for a gig was 2008. 5 years ago, with the Streets. Ted will sort us out again. My boyfriend Mark, his friend Eric (it will be their first time they are going to see Mike) and the famous Master Ozzy will join me.

Mike Skinner E-Werk Festival 2012

Cologne, Germany, 3 March 2012

My mate Ozzy and I went to the opening of the first official Apple Store in Amsterdam. In Holland we had a few Mac Houses and iCentres, but no Apple Store yet. Now we do, anyways we joined a queue of about 4000 people at 9:50am. The doors opened at 10 and after waiting for 1 ½ hour (11:30am) we got in, we got a lovely orange t-shirt, nice for queensday people said, but it’s my 4th orange t-shirt, so I have enough – nice t-shirt to sleep in! I bought a docking station for my iPhone.
