On Friday August 24 I had the honour to sing at the Right To Play & NOC*NSF Olympic Gala, organized to celebrate the success of the Dutch at the Olympics of this and the past years, but most of all to remember every child in the world who doesn’t have a chance to play!

Right To Play raised a lot of money for projects in Burundi with their special auction that night (including several of my 'Marbles' albums!).

Johan Olav Koss (CEO Right To Play and former speed skater from Norway) is very satisfied with the results.

Right To Play is a global organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity.

About the episode with the ‘Stick To The Recipe’ feature...

Audrey is a food stylist. She loves her job…too much. Audrey is so obsessed with food that it takes over her life. She cares more that her boyfriend is dining with his ex-girlfriend than if he is sleeping with her. Her boyfriend finally calls her out and she begins to wonder if he’s right about how far her food obsession has gone.

Shows will air in October 2012!

Hey you! Thanks again for following Kris Berry! We played for a bit, did some gigs in Amsterdam, and had fun despite the weather and after rain comes shine..

Our band supported Sharon Jones & The Dapkings in Groningen, which we were honoured to do!

....and we found ourselves soon preparing for a trip to Berlin! Berlin was great fun! Nice crowd, nice bands, nice beer, nice hotel, nice breakfast, nice ride back home, glad we had the opportunity to travel to Germany, which was our first gig abroad since the release in April!

So yes many things happened; I turned thirty this month (wow!), visited my hairdresser last weekend, because on Monday I had to be all clean & polished for a photo shoot for a super cool Women's magazine, will not mention the name just yet. It's one of my favorites in any case! I wore these incredibly posh shoes (for five minutes, you know, to complete the picture), I hung in an improvised tropical hammock for this photographer (..to complete the picture) and it was all but my job for the day. I'm not complaining just so you know ;-). I must thank our PR management for making arrangements! (¡ıɯ ssıɯ ǝןʇʇıן sʞuɐɥʇ)
So! The day after that I had to actually do the interview involved with the issue that will probably be coming this July..The man that conducted the interview is a renowned writer and interviewer and to my surprise: He brought me the most beautiful bouquet of Peonies! Furthermore, an interview was also schedulled with a local tabloid format daily paper, which was nice as well, look forward to sharing the published material with you.
Here's a photo of our team lunch yesterday during the shoot...
Sorry, can't do anything else for you now picture-wise.. ;-)
Tell you what, I'll keep you updated!
X, Kris
