antwerp vs copenhagen ?

My wife and I always said that whenever the Arctic Monkeys are playing in Belgium we're going, no matter what. Guess what? This summer they played at Pukkelpop and who had to get married that day? Indeed...
But yesterday we got our second chance. The gig was great, but it wasn't the best I've ever seen. Actually, I agree with what Thomas De Soete had to say about the concert yesterday.
Tight drums, lovely accent, but they didn't play 'Teddy Picker'. I guess that's part of the 'we're growing up' attitude Thomas DS talks about.
This remains one heck of a view, right from my appartement window!

Dutch dance piracy? T Mobile does this kind of thing too.
Regardless, awesome.
Also worth noting that Antwerp is one of the most excellent city names in the world.
Thank you Rachel, for the link, and thank you Lauren, for starting the conversation.

I'm just back from this morning's run and can gladly report that it
was just about the same as yesterday's run: same number of calories,
same time, same distance. The one change is that I was a little faster
toward the end today and (conversely) slower in the beginning. My
guess, however, is that it's better to speed up toward the end
(reverse split) rather than lag, so I'm pleased by that.
Yesterday's bike ride was again a model of consistency, although I
changed my song to "In These Shoes?" by Kirsty MacColl, the
one gem from her otherwise disappointing Tropical Brainstorm
album, from the
other day's "Metronomic Underground."
No me gusta caminar/no puedo andar por caballo, sings Kirsty's
backup chorus, and there I go, andar por bicicleta.
It was quite warm and pleasant out yesterday, and even though the wind
was kind of brisk, it was from the south, so it didn't bother me as
much. I knew I would have a good lap when with my torso tucked down
and pacing myself briskly along the open spot just parallel to the
runway I looked down and saw that I was working at 82% max heart rate.
I did the whole 7-mile lap in less than 22 minutes, or a 19 mph pace,
which was enough to bring the average for both laps up to a whisker
over 18 mph.
Today's bike picture is from Antwerp. I like the plastic leaves on the
fender stays, personally.
