Fame!

Tonight, The Wombat went shopping at the Fame Music Store in Amsterdam. And for a special reason: Wim T. Schippers - artist, writer, actor and alround genius (and the Dutch voice of Ernie from Sesame Street) - would be signing dvds of his legendary tv shows. Of course, as a big fan of his work, The Wombat was queueing up!

As an extra bonus, besides Wim T. also IJf Blokker, Rob van Houten and the wonderful Mimi Kok (a.k.a. Ge Braadslee) were there to sign the dvds they are starring in. The Wombat was loving it! Even in these hectic circumstances, our Furry Friend and Wim T. felt an immediate connection and had an interesting conversation about the state of contemporary television and the role of the media in todays society. Mimi Kok followed the discussion with great attention!

At the end of the evening The Wombat went home, carrying with him his treasured signed copy of "We Zijn Weer Thuis".

p.s. : As you notice The Wombat has recently returned from an expedition to the South Pole. You will be reading about this exciting adventure soon!
