TRUE. today

NY400


A few months ago our Prince and Princess of Orange opened New Amsterdam Village, exactly 4oo years after we founded New Amsterdam, now New York. At least, that is what has generally and therefore historically become accepted. A great opportunity to reconquer New York, not by disregarding the natives, but by bashing them on the head with roses. TRUE. A new invasion led by the Prince rather than the street-by-street guerilla we just started.


But, alas, 400 years proved just too short for TRUE. Too late to get a booth, too late to decorate a royal entourage, too late for Renny Ramakers, owner of Droog and artistic heart of the festivities, to pay any attention.
