We Are Numbers - Event Three at Espaca Ladda was great! Many enthusiastic reactions, new people were numbered, a camera crew and delicious! food concept made by Number 2 aka Shirley Souhoka (see interview below). I also numbered trendwatcher Tom Palmaerts. And did a collab with The Birthday Song Company. Really cool!!!
Here's an impression of the event:
Number 1: "Hello dear Number 2! Thank you for joining me at the event in Gent! Could you tell us what you created for We Are Numbers?"
Number 2: "Well, when you asked me to create WAN-food I thought about a lot of things, something mysterious, because it’s a surprise which number you have, or something tasty in black and white… But in the end I created a soup as a base, just like the black shirt is your base. And every cup was filled with a unique mix of ingredients to give every soup it’s own taste. It was a fresh made vegetable stock with W A N letter vermicelli. And with all the ingredients that I brought, I could create a unique soup for every visitor of the event! I registered every recipe and all of them were unique. That is how I see the culinary way of We Are Numbers."
Number 1: "So from now on there is always soup at a WAN event?"
Number 2: "Well not exactly the same, that’s not my style. For another event I’ll be thinking of another food concept for that moment. Soup is my speciality, so maybe another version or in another way? Why? Did you like my cooking and am I invited again???"
Number 1: "I really enjoyed the different tastes! And yes there will be more events and I need someone who can create culinary artworks!"
Number 2: "Thanks, you can count on me, for sure!"

The We Are Numbers event at the Panama was really cool! Unfortunately many Numbers could not make it to Amsterdam, but those who came had a real great time!
