On Thursday the 10th of April Tim Burton had a signing session and a Q&A at the AFFF. In the morning I went to the Hema to get the posed photo printed of the day before. Then I went to the place where the signing session would be held. After a few minutes Michel joined me and after a while fellow collectors Dennis, Danny, Roy, Renee and Rutger also arrived. At two p.m. we were allowed to go into the building and at 3 p.m. the signing session started. Tim Burton was very friendly and signed my poster of Batman Returns and the posed photo for me. After the signing session we decided to wait for Tim Burton to leave because Danny wanted a posed photo with him. Because I forgot my MP3 player I went with Danny to the McDonalds. When Tim Burton came out I took the photo for Danny and also led Tim Burton sign my DVD of Ed Wood. Then Michel and I said goodbye to the others because we wanted to go to the studio of De Wereld Draait Door.

28 April - Fantasticks premiere


The premiere of the musical 'The Fantasticks' was held on Monday the 28th of April. Stepko and I decided to go to it, but because we arrived very early we decided to get something to eat in the building next to the theatre. When we were finished we saw Johnny Kraaijkamp and Arjan Everveen doing an interview outside. After the interview we went to them and Johnny Kraaijkamp posed for a photo with me. While waiting in the restaurant I also spotted Peter Tuinman. I went through my stuff and found the DVD cover of De Zwarte Meteoor. When he walked by I asked him if he wanted to sign it and so he did. He also posed for a photo. A few minutes, and bitterballs, later we saw Serge-Henri Valcke walking in, but we were to late to ask him for anything and we did not want to bother him while he was having dinner so we waited. Then it was getting a bit crowded around the red carpet so we decided to go outside. We saw Bea Meulman (Rietje Brouwer in SamSam), driving by, but before she got out of the car, Stjepko saw Nelly Frijda. I quickly grabbed my DVD and photo of Flodder and when she had signed it, she was also willing to pose for a photo. When Bea Meulman arrived at the red carpet I asked her if she was willing to pose for a photo and luckily for me, she was. One of the last guest to arrive was Serge-Henri Valcke and he was very glad to sign my items. He signed my DVD's of Amsterdamned, Lang Leve de Koningin and Sl8n8 and a little photo of Amsterdamned. He also was willing to pose for a photo.
