“The Regular Customer” is a bronze statue in front of Café “Festina Lente” on Looiersgracht, in “De Jordaan”. It shows a man sitting on a bench, gently petting the café cat. The artwork was made in 1997 by Albert Zweep, inspired by the quiet and cozy mood found in the stories of Dutch writer Simon Carmiggelt.

The statue was made to pay off a bar tab of 2,400 guilders. At first, it was made of polyester, but after it got damaged a few times, Heineken helped fund a bronze version.

If you're reading this, chances are you are like I was a short few months ago and think you are a person who "doesn't go out much" or whatever other lies you tell yourself to feel comfortable with your situation.

If that's you, I *implore* you to go as far away from humans or manmade things as reasonably possible and just sit on a #bench in the middle of nowhere in nature somewhere.

If you think that sounds super boring: It's especially *you* who should do this.
