NASRDIN DCHAR
Tuesday, October 4th 2011
For years I've known Nas now. He played in our play KINGS with Yahya Gaier and TJONROCKON. That's still one of my favorite plays we did over here at MC (back when we were still called Made in da Shade). Nas just won the award for Best Actor at the Nederlands Film Festival for his role in the Habbekrats film 'Rabat' (out on DVD the 10th of October). I felt really inspired by his acceptance speech. I wanted to make something. I know he always digs my shirts, so I made him one. 6 euros of every sold shirt goes to stichtingbink.com. Get the shirt 'till the 8th of October 2011: shir.tc/dchar
