VIRTUAL MUSEUM of Architecture

Spring Build-Off 2012
The Virtual Museum of Architecture (VMA) is holding its annual Spring Build-off,
inspired by Drive-In Restaurants of the 1950s.
It’s a fun competition to see who can create the most functional and appealing commercial building within the parameters of the Drive-In Restaurants of the 1950s.

Our friend Levi Ewing is one of the competitors.
When reading the rules, one knows it is not a easy build-off. One is:
• Builders will have 48 hrs to complete their builds within the specified parameters.

Off course our votes went to Levi and not because he is one of our best friends but also because he is a great builder.
▼Here some pictures of his "@ LEVIS"
▼I took some snapshots of the other builds and one can see that SL has great builders.

Queens Day in Sweetgrass!

Queen's Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Koninginnedag is Queen Beatrix's official celebration day. Though Queen Beatrix was born on 31 January, the holiday is observed on 
30 April as it was the birthday of her mother and predecessor, Juliana. Many of the traditional activities are held outside, and observing the holiday in April makes suitable weather more likely.
In Sweetgrass we could enjoy the free beer, the bright markets, the fireworks and the party. We had fun listen to DJ JRose when she spun the tunes, to celebrate the Queen of the Netherlands
The colour was orange, and there's was $L 2000 for the best in orange outfit!

Mister T.R.A.C.S - Contest weeks

Saturday we had, already half is over, our third Mister T.R.A.C.S 2012 Contest Party, with the
FUN PARTY
with
Dj Fattik aka Dj NRG 
Also on this event not all went smooth as we wanted. This time some guest could not stop talking in voice. I had to restrict voice on the parcel to make them stop.
I saw already in other clubs that voice not could be used. It is never too late to learn. :-)

When I Look to the Sky

"When I Look to the Sky" is a song by the American rock band Train, for their third studio album My Private Nation.
Train is an American pop rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1994. The band currently comprises a core trio of Patrick Monahan (vocals), Jimmy Stafford (guitar, vocals) and Scott Underwood (drums, percussion).
Train, with a line-up that included original members Rob Hotchkiss and Charlie Colin, as well as Monahan, Stafford and Underwood, achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit "Meet Virginia". Their second album, Drops of Jupiter (2001), brought the band massive popularity. The lead single from the album, "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)", was an international hit and won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band's best-selling album to date.
Their third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, continued the band's success, and was certified platinum in the United States with the hit "Calling All Angels". Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It's You in 2006, with Johnny Colt on bass and Brandon Bush on keys. Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Train then went on a three-year hiatus. 
When I Look To The Sky

When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn't say caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
Pick you up in all of this when I sail away

And while I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way

Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it's impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
here you are to show me

When I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

When I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
