And the winner is…
… sadly not me.
I never realized my work could possibly be too good to receive an award, but from what I now came to understand the jury of the Aanmoedigingsprijs 2009 (Encouragement Award 2009) decided just that. Which is a dubious honor to say the least. The jury apparently came to the conclusion that I didn’t need encouraging, because I seem to be doing fine as it is. Oh, and then they miraculously neglected to explain this puzzling fact to me, the audience and the press… which makes the whole thing a bit weird and nasty. Me, I say it’s never too late to encourage someone… but hey, that’s just me.
That being said, I heartily congratulate Yael Bonekamp. She’s a very worthy and well deserved award winner!
I would still like to thank Margriet Pronk, who recommended me for this award in the first place. And Martin Bernhard, who did a good job showcasing my Rockin’ Chair to the lovely audience last night. I may post some photo’s and/or video here later.
