			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow it&#8217;s Halloween. In holland it&#8217;s not tradition to celebrate this. But there are more and more halloween parties here in holland <img src='http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Dancing wearing a scary costume. How can you not love that? This year just like the last two years <a href="http://www.cc4u.nl" title="culture clash" target="_blank">Culture Clash</a> organized a party. Like the previous two years I was in costume. Every year I have to have a cool costume. The first year I was &#8220;the Crow&#8221; (cool movie), Last year I was &#8220;The Phantom of the Opera&#8221; and this year I was the root of all evil.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/img_5433.jpg" title="horny devil 1"><img src="http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/img_5433.thumbnail.jpg" alt="horny devil 1" align="left" /></a><a href="http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/img_5449.jpg" title="horny devil 2"><img src="http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/img_5449.thumbnail.jpg" alt="horny devil 2" align="right" /></a> Yep I was the devil. Okey not the big kahun. I was mephisto the first demon of hell. But since nobody knows who that is I just called myself the first son of the devil, or just the devil.</p>
<p>Two little horns, a pail (death) face, evil grin and I turned in one cool looking devil.</p>
<p>The party was real good. Good music, Girls dancing in tight skirts, pants or cat suits. A couple of very hot devil girls, what more do you want.</p>
<p>In a couple of weeks we will put the pictures on the website <a href="http://www.x3mist.com/" target="_blank">x3mist</a>.<br />
As soon as I have more pictures I will post them in <a href="http://www.rafieksilver.com/gallery">my gallery</a> and my <a href="http://rafiekslvr.hyves.nl/">hyves profile</a>. So look out people the devil is on the internet <img src='http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a while since my last post. Here is a short list of what I&#8217;ve been up to.</p>
<p>On September 7th 2007 culture clash had a festival in <a href="http://www.asta.nl" title="asta" target="_blank">ASTA</a>. Even though Asta screwed us financially the festival was kind of a success. I was in charge of the fashion show. This meant recruiting, training the male models and some of the choreography.  Roshnie was in charge of training the female models. Because she was also busy getting the clothes most of the work was in my hands. We discussed this so it&#8217;s not like she neglected her work. It was just the way we agreed to do the work. At the festival I was in charge of stage management. So I had my hands full that day. Because of my job that day I did not see most of the acts.  But my brother told me the fashion show was a success.</p>
<p>My brother and I are finishing the design for my tattoo. I&#8217;m already looking for the best tattoo artist. And one that doesn&#8217;t put a giant hole in me wallet. The design is my name &#8220;Rafiek&#8221; but in a much cooler specially design font <img src='http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  You have to see it to get it.</p>
<p>A few days ago I finished the page my brother is gonna use to promote his photography work. At the moment it is just one page.  One album, kinda. <a href="http://twelve-o-six.rafieksilver.com/" title="twelve-o-six" target="_blank">http://twelve-o-six.rafieksilver.com/</a>  And yes that cool looking dude in the first picture is me <img src='http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now we have some time to start working on a complete site. And the payment is good. He is paying me by teaching me photography and I can borrow his superduper camera anytime I need it.  Yep that is how brothers do business <img src='http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/thypf.jpeg" target="_blank" title="The hague Youth Peace Festival"><img src="http://www.rafieksilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/thypf.thumbnail.jpeg" title="The hague Youth Peace Festival" alt="The hague Youth Peace Festival" align="left" /></a>Last Saturday was the liberation day here in Holland. This day marks the end of the end of the German occupation during the Second World War. Culture Clash organized a festival to celebrate this. A lot of people had a blast. But working on such a festival means one thing for use. We where gonna run our asses off. And we did. There where dance acts, fashion shows, singers, rappers etc. A lot of acts and a lot of people.</p>
<p>I was one of the people who worked on the fashion shows. No I wasn&#8217;t one of the models. I taught the models how to walk etc on the catwalk. I may be the only heterosexual male who teaches girl how to walk like girls.</p>
<p>On the day itself I was a stage manager. This means I worked backstage and never saw any of the acts. Judging by the response of the crowd and what people told me at the end, the event was a success. Next time I would like to be one of the people that can actually see some acts.</p>
<p>I got a few glimpse of the fashion shows, I made sure I got to see the girls that were still a bit insecure. My girls gave a good show.  There was a little trouble back stage. But what do you expect, a group of girls all in one room stressed about the way they look. And at a fashion show you have to stress about your looks. But the trouble was handled with and at the end of the day everybody had a good time. These girls are ready for the next event.</p>
<p>Every event we learn something new. This one was no difference. So every event is better then the event before.</p>
<p>See you at our next event.</p>

So here is the first post about Culture Clash.</p>
<p>Culture Clash is a multi cultural <span style="font-family: Georgia">0rganization</span> with a goal to inlighten people of the riches of the cultures of the world. Beginning with the people and the cultures here in the hague.</p>
<p>People from suriname might say: &#8220;A multi cultural <span style="font-family: Georgia">0rganization</span>?? Go to any school and you see a multi cultural <span style="font-family: Georgia">0rganization. We live together and respect each other.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia">In Suriname that is true, but here in holland it&#8217;s not. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia">So Culture Clash is organization of young people that wants to change that. We do this throug debat&#8217;s about taboo&#8217;s, plays, short films etc. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia">If you want more information check the website <a href="http://www.cc4u.nl/">http://www.cc4u.nl</a> (warning this is a dutch website.)</span></p>
