Dear Everyone,

I am writing this letter to inform you that the Spanish Tapas Buffet Dinner event that we have organized is being cancelled. Two of the musicians met an untoward accident last weekend and they are still recuperating until this date.

We will instead be holding a special sit down dinner for all the people who made reservations. The said dinner will be on the same date and venue of the initial scheduled event.

We hope that you would still be able to attend the sit down dinner at Le Mastroquest restaurant with us albeit in a simpler manner. Let me know until tomorrow if you are going to make it or not.

Thank you and see you at the dinner!

Sincerely,

Rowena S. Korbijn

Een kunstzinnig kopje espresso of cappuccino op een tentoonstelling?

Dat kunst en latte art nauw met elkaar verweven zijn, blijkt wel uit het feit dat Amar Raghoenandan een graag geziene gast is tijdens kunsttentoonstellingen. Niet alleen om zijn creatieve kant te tonen en de gasten te voorzien van een van zijn “kunstwerken”,een heerlijk kopje espresso of cappuccino, voorzien van een van zijn kunstwerken, maar ook omdat hij als kunstliefhebber, graag een kijkje neemt op deze exposities. Zo ook bij de Franse kunstenaar Emanuel Adam, die zijn werken onder andere presenteerde bij Star Galerie aan de Borneostraat 116 in Den Haag. Organiseert U zelf een expositie, of ander evenement en wil U er een kunstzinnig geheel van maken, nodig dan Amar Raghoenandan uit om als barista zijn creatieve kunnen te tonen en om er verzekerd van te zijn dat U uw gasten op gepaste wijze verrast. Om het plaatje compleet te maken, kan er ook gezorgd worden voor een hapje. Dit om Uw feest, opening of ander evenement compleet te maken.
