I'm Baaaaaaack
Relax people. I'm alive. And I've finally recovered from a great weekend in Amsterdam.
Although I've been to Amsterdam before, this most recent trip far exceeded my expectations. The weather was amazing, so we spent our days strolling through the Jordaan, smelling fresh tulips and dining in quaint outdoor cafes. Our nights were quite low-key, and often punctuated by a hearty broodje dinner and espresso. We relaxed amongst the linden trees and gardens near Museumplein, and soaked up the history and culture of both the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum for an entire afternoon. We also took the time to visit the Anne Frankhuis, a "difficult yet important" experience which left us all emotionally drained.
Ok. So maybe none of that happened. And maybe it was suggested (by my boss) that I go home from work early on Tuesday because "your body is here, but your mind is somewhere else". But that's neither here nor there, is it?
To make up for my extended weekend absence from, well, reality, I have a surprise for you. Not one, but two CityHangover Guestblog entries are on their way courtesy of NYC hipsters (and current London visitors) Tim and Sarah...

That second paragraph was troubling. Curt, don't ever speak like that again.
i wanna be a cityhangover guestblogger!
yeah seriously, the tulips were a dead give-away.
Is it that inconceivable that I would innocently stroll through the Amsterdam streets?
I guess it is. If only Ra-effing-Wiggum would have joined us on the trip I think things would have been INSANE. Punk ass.
And Kimbo, I would welcome a CHGB entry from you. Maybe you can do a special Labor Day edition when we reunite at last! We should catch up soon, by the way.
yeah, brent and i will do a joint CHGB. :)
