Dutch/Belgian Apolyton Meet: Amsterdam, 6 September 2003

[Locutus]

De tram? En al dat prachtige Amsterdam tussen die 2 punten missen?

Ik denk dat ik via de Westerkerk en Leidseplein heenwandel, en dan terug (naar de Nieuwmarkt dus) via ofwel het Leidsestraat-Muntplein (en als ik tijd heb Rokin en/of Kalverstraat en de Dam) ofwel Frederiksplein-Waterlooplein (maar in dat geval weet ik niet of ik onderweg veel eetgelegenheden tegen zal komen).

Zie ik een aardig stukje Amsterdam, dacht ik zo...

[Hueij]

Ok, voor als jullie me niet zouden herkennen is hier een foto van afgelopen zondag:

Ik kom waarschijnlijk ff een uurtje later, ik moet vandaag nog wat dingen doen en het was weer laat gisteravond

[Zopperoni]

Oh, and for convenience, here's a photo.

I'll be wearing a red polo today, I think.

that pic is truly.. flattering...

[Wernazuma III]

I'm soo dumb! It's really annoying! I could be with you tomorrow.
My parents-in-law had a ticket for me for the Austria-Holland match today and they converted bonus-miles into a ticket for me, but for some reason I hesitated and now my brother-in-law flies!

Sorry, won't be able to do it (I know it is too late). Getting a ferry across is just to expensive...cheaper to drive to Manchester and fly...go figure

You should know... you took it =)

To get back to the meeting itself. We were rather disappointed that only five of us (Locutus, CapTVK, Germanos, Atawa, and myself) were present.

Where were the others?!

[Traianvs]

lol, great photoshop job ..

weell, maybe it hadn't rained that much yet at the time the pic was taken huh

[germanos]

Yeah, where was the lot?

We especially had expected hueij, since he so eagerly posted his pic here

I had a good time in both the CubaCafe, the Argentian Grill, where nobody off the staff spoke Dutch,and aside from the occasional cockroach that attempted to crawl into CapTVK's collar the food was , and we enjoyed the last half of the football match in a very much so 'Amsterdam bruin cafe'. Upon entering the hole, Holland scored twice in 5 minutes or so, which lifted spirits all along the place.

When those who had to travel home left, Atawa and me went to the famed 'Hill street Blues' bar on the Warmoesstraat where we enjoyed the relaxed athmosphere.


Very wierd meeting these people you only know from the board.

[Solly]

There'll never be a truly successful meeting outside of the UK.

Discuss...

[Locutus]

Too tired to discuss the meet right now, so I'll just post some pics (CapTVK made some too, I'm sure he'll post his soon as well).

Suffice to say it was a fun meet, though a pity so few people showed up. Hueij, Lucilla, Tarquinius and the others better have a good excuse
