I've never been good at being organized, so this blog will only be an example of that.
I always seem to have a lot of catching up to do, done in sudden bursts of energetic diarrhea rather than the neat daily diary entries other people seem to be able to come up with. Well, everything makes some sense in it's own way, I always philosophically say. Maybe my way brings a different perspective, if not, it's at best a fine mess...
Here's looking back at some eventful weeks:
On september 29, comedian and musician MANUEL played 'Allene' at the X.
Court Jester,Rain Dog,Brain Trainer,Ironic Entertainer,
Andre Manuel is all of it. Sings, plays,tells stories, and tickles the audience and himself where he can with on the spot improvisation genius. If you think Lenny Bruce was razor sharp, learn Manuel's Diepenheim dialect Eastern Dutch and get spritszhed in a major way. The countryside Carver, the Bukowski of back there, The Tom Waits of Terschelling , Flip Howler of the Cowlands, Manu Elvis, Sancho Panda, no small crosses to bear, but most of all he's the Moonman Of Manuel, and he wears that title well !!! Like hell, he'd probably say...
You can check out his site for his latest album work and giglist.He makes about a solo and a band album every other year and does One Man cabaret shows in the theaters as well as solo and band tours in the club- and festival circuit.
The man works hard and makes sure he's not bored, you could say....

Later that night I went to the Ontzettend Leiden Festival in the LVC, where I joined many old friends and Local Loco's in partying until the wee pee hours.
I heard Manuel partied on somewhere back East in a barn...
A big enough one I presume
