Well if you find out about the daily tickets, can you post it somewhere? I'm trying to think of what to do.

Well, France is probably the most beautiful place on earth. The only problem in France is ...french people!

Sounds like a great place to live. I'm from Israel, yet I've lived in Europe for quite a few years already.

Aaah, sadly I missed that meeting, maybe next time. Here in leiden there's a nice little coffeeshop called Coffee and Dreams, right in the centre, so its very convinient. It also has a little bar right next to it.
 
But I have to admit that I've calmed down with the pot smoking in the last year, and because I am stiil underage (Embarrassed) going to a proper amsterdam style coffeshop trip has been quite a difficulty. In less then a year I will make sure to do it. (better to do it right then do it early)

Indeed! We did a PA meeting in Den Haag in March.

Beautiful town.

What are your fav coffeeshops? (in any town)

Yep, I live in a small village close to the university city of Leiden (perhaps you know it). I'm right between Amsterdam and Den Haag, quite convinient. 
 
And which part of France are you from?

Not yet! I'm not totally sure and i wonder if it's possible to attend to a part of the concerts only (as it last 3 days) and not pay the full.

So you live close to 'Dam?

I think it's worth the money, just to see Here & Now playing "Secrets" again. I await the gig with thrilled anticipation.

Dear Joren, can you rephrase this complex sentence which i don't understand?


Sorry. LOL

What I meant to say: IF there will be a meeting in the daytime, I will be there. So I won't go to the concert (at night). But I suppose that you will all be in Amsterdam in the daytime as well, so then I can join you.

Anyway the Baldies are intending to go, I am tempted and Olivier is too. and Amsterdam is not a bad place for that second Dutch Prog Archivers meeting even if it is bloody expensive.
