The record fair was top!

The record fair was top! 

After a sort off rotten week, with pain on my teeth, worries and searching for a dentist, I was determand to have a nice and relaxing day. And, tadaaa! It was a nice and relaxing day, everything went well. I already had my train and entrance ticket, I bought them a month before the record fair took place. In the train it was busy, but I could sit somewhere pleasant, the trip to Utrecht took long enough for a little nap. The city Utrecht is near Amsterdam and Schiphol, Utrecht lays not even 30 minutes from it. The were some people in the train heading to Schiphol, I could tell by the huge and many suitcases. I wish I could come with them, lol, I want to travel with a plain again! I so miss it.


In Utrecht I had to walk for a little 15 minutes towards the fair, it's a huge hall building where several shows and fairs are being held. Today there's the record fair being held plus a huge flea market, well, not really a flea market but a collect market(?) Anything what you can collect, like stamps, coins, teabags, antique, old toys, ect, ect, and ect. These halls are huge, hall 10 was where the record fair was being held. I had to search for hall 10 for such a long time, dashing and strumpling trough the other halls, passing antique and toys, lol. Finally I found it, the digging could begin. There was alot of vinyl, elpees ans singels, but that's not my thing anymore. 


I don't own record players anymore, so, cd's and perhaps some merchandising was my goal. The hall was huge and crowded, but I had fun and enjoyed the fullest. I saw alot of records, but not only that, I saw aswell the funniest items. For example baby-rock-clothing, doormats with your idol on it, Beatles or Stones coffee mugs, T-shirts. There was even a Star Wars fan section where you could buy clothing or dvd's plus you could get a signature from a famous Star Wars actor, I had no clue who the guy was, lo. ( p.s. I thinkI(cough)havea litllesuprise (cough) forcoughsomeoneaswellbutsshh!)It was nice and relaxing at the fair, I brought food with me, so all was good. I spent five hours there, and that was more then enough. 



I bought a few cd's lol, just a few, honest! There were expensive cd's but aswell cheap ones. I looked for the cd's between the 8 and 1 Euro's, and with succes. You really have to search though, and have a bit of luck finding them. Oh, record collectors people are so funny and sometimes extravagant. I saw sometimes the weirdest people, it's nice though. I saw stands from Germany, Sweden, USA, UK, and Netherlands, and more, like I said this fair is huge, you really need two days to see everything, but then again you will be exhausted afterwards. At home I took a easy small dinner, they had nice meat sandwiches at our trainstation, I took a few with me. Tomorrow I will rest and listen to my new cd's. (Insert smile)
