The diary of a Scot in Amsterdam

Return to IJmuiden

Just a month after my first visit, I have been back to Baco Army Goods in IJmuiden. This is a fantastic shop filled with electronic components, as well as all sorts of fascinating ex-military and industrial equipment, and the sort of place I could spend all day in. I went with Julien, since he was interested in finding some parts for a musical device he is building, and we did in fact spend almost three hours in the place. So obsessed was I, in fact, that I completely forgot to take any pictures.

After this, we went to do some filming on the pier as a test for a project which I intend carrying out at some point in the future; I want to film myself seemingly running across the country carrying a large roll of carpet under each arm, before finally throwing them into the sea. The long pier at IJmuiden seems like a very good location for this, hence the test. Watch this space for more!
