Brian Wilson covers “Brian Wilson”

I did quite a bit of traveling last summer. You may have missed it. I’m terrible at documenting my travels.

One evening in July those travels took me to Amsterdam with Lidewij, Sanne, and James*. Most of this trip was a blur, so I am grateful Sanne captured some footage to bring me back to this moment. I do remember being very excited by this big gathering of people dancing in the street. I think there was a dancing dog at the centre of it? We stopped and watched for a while, but something about being around Lidewij just makes you want to drop everything and dance**. So we did.

There is nothing quite like just letting go and dancing on the street in a foreign city with friends you only get to hug once a year.

** I swear it’s her superpower.
