    "Pop" is the Dutch word for doll. Pink is short for "Pinksteren". My dictionary says that's Dutch for Whitsun (never knew you call it that way if it's the right translation). Pinkpop usually takes place around Withsun. And ofcourse pink = pink. That's why the doll wears a pink dress.
    Don't know anything about a cow though.

    thanks so much for posting that. :)

    the camera only showed the cow about two times.
    kind of like the bat in MSG. small toy or prop, sat on the stage.

    Not too shabby! I would love to, but what with having already bought tickets for Reading 08 and Foos at Wembley I think I'll have to give it a miss.

    Any word on the Leeds/Reading lineup for '08? Might go depending on the bands.

    I'm fairly certain that I'll be heading to Pinkpop this summer!
