Vrankrijk

Years ago I decided to move out my parents house. With a few of my friends we thought it would be a brilliant idea to squat an empty office in the village where we grew up. So we did. After smashing the front door we sat down on our mattresses and opened a can of beer. By then our ideas where gone.

Next morning we decided to take the first train to Amsterdam, and walk by Vrankrijk to consult them on our next steps. 'Call the police, hold tight, and don't give up', is what the bearded old man told us. So that was what we did, and the adventure started..

Nowadays I pay mortgage for my house, and the only reason to visit Vrankrijk are their excellent punk nights on Friday evenings. The weirdest and coolest punk bands from all over the world are performing. It can be a little edgy, so don't go when you want to try out your fresh polished dancing shoes. But you can expect a crazy cool night full of surprises, and a mixed audience of engaged people from around the world.
