De Theaterfabriek Amsterdam

De Theaterfabriek Amsterdam Thursday October 23, 2008 by Henriette

Me and my friends made a dissicion to go and see Derek’s show. It would be his last show in Amsterdam. We drove to the theaterfabriek to park the car and before we went to the place where it all would happen we went to the Oosterparkstraat to see the house where my mother was born and raise…. How bizarre was that. I was not only to be a witness of the gift of Derek but also saw my mother’s history. We made some pics and went back to the Theaterfabriek.

After a view smokes we went in and had some drinks. Everyone went in thinking … would he pick me?? My friends and I were skeptic but hey what do we have to lose. A light? Why the hell do we need that fore … but we were told to wait and see it would be a nice thing. The show that we saw was amazing, emotional. I can image that some people were not only witness of something so very special but were in a rollercoaster at the same time. After the show we had the opportunity to make a picture together with Derek. We waited as it was very very busy. My friend wanted to take a picture together with Jeroen we were wondering why hahaha but he was fine with that.

After a while we went in to the group that was getting smaller and smaller. We came to the show with a reason as everyone else. As we went to take the picture I thought I have to tell him that my dreams are haunted and that it’s driving me crazy that I can’t figure out the message that is giving me by my grandfather… but I didn’t say a word to him as I thought it was probably meant to be he didn’t pick me out to give me a reading and why bother him with my haunted dreams.Or should i tell him about my 5 children? In a split second it was like a hurricane in my head . so many thought, so many feelings.

First we went together and after that separate. I am not a person who could get nervous but I was! I gave Derek a very big hug and was standing there waiting for the picture to come and man my heart was beating like a maniac…. I do remember it scared the living daylight out of me and in a reflex I did let him go as fast as I could…… what the hell was wrong with me I was thinking… get a life henriette don’t be so paranoia hahahahaha.

I can only say that this experience was very special and I would do it all over again to see how very special his gift is and what a very special warm and gentle person Derek is. Oh and I forgot his humor…. His remarks to some people was dead funny …lol!

Henriette
