Quote 500 party

At Anneke's initiative we [Anneke, Ivan, Sieta and Simon] attended the so-called "Quote-500 party" on November 2, 2005 in a hangar at Schiphol Airport. "Quote" is a monthly glossy magazine of shallow qualities but reportedly very populair in circles of the nouveau riche. The "Quote-500" is an annual listing of the 500 richest persons in the Netherlands. The "Quote-500 party" is a 'champagne & caviar' social event with the objective to celebrate the publication of the new listing. The party is clearly a non-event and simply a publicity stunt for Quote, but at the same time a nice excuse to get together and to have drinks at the expense of Quote. After the Quote-party Sieta, who had been on an early duty that day, left us and we went to the centre of Amsterdam where Stefanie joined us for drinks at a cosy pub selected by her.
