It's getting closer and closer by indeed...and 3 Dutch people died in Brussels as well I heard yesterday. We're all safe, but I'm predicting a similar drama over here within the next 6 months. Or in Germany. Either way, I won't be flying or going to a big concert/festival this year because of it. There was a weird briefcase incident at my local supermarket a couple of months ago that scared me shitless. I was standing right behind a guy in the queue. He was dressed in typical Arab fashion and was carrying a slim briefcase with him. Then he walked out of the queue, put his briefcase on the gift wrapping counter, opened it a little and walked back to the queue. Next thing, he was grabbing something out of his pocket that looked like a remote control. I told my husband to drop the groceries and get to the car instead. Nothing blew up and I didn't hear anything about it in the news either, but that was just soooo weird and scary. And something to get way more paranoid over due to the current wave of attacks *sighs*.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912644512398944514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973602932665851374.post-79550080295133092202016-03-22T16:35:17.264-07:002016-03-22T16:35:17.264-07:00Saturday was so packed with people, we could hardl...Saturday was so packed with people, we could hardly move! But if you went to one of these things, go on the preview day or on the last day. Both Friday and Sunday were busy but not overwhelming with people.MsArdychanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011176764545344829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973602932665851374.post-1885347631174746202016-03-22T16:33:55.972-07:002016-03-22T16:33:55.972-07:00Hi Anne.

I think there are these type of events in England, if you would be willing to travel across the channel.<br /><br />BTW: I know you live in Holland, but I wanted to express my sympathy to the people in your area who are dealing with all this violence and terrorism. It is heartbreaking and I hope you, and your loved ones are safe.MsArdychanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011176764545344829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973602932665851374.post-78326275587844105262016-03-22T05:06:43.437-07:002016-03-22T05:06:43.437-07:00Wow!

I would've loved to listen to Shatner speak and get a photo with him. Thanks for sharing your experience it was fun to read :)<br /><br />Danica @ <a href="http://aredheadedbookworm.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">A Redheaded Bookworm</a>Danica https://www.blogger.com/profile/01864310307507481772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973602932665851374.post-85543716002563159972016-03-22T03:04:09.076-07:002016-03-22T03:04:09.076-07:00Omg, this is SOOOO cool!

Crazy cool pictures as well! Too bad your hubby couldn't come along, but next time! You now know the drill on how it all works :).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912644512398944514noreply@blogger.com
