Are you also from The Hague mr. Glass House, in that case we could invite some progheads from Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, UK, Scotland and make them familiar with some very fine Dutch pubs, meanwhile discussing the entire progrock scene from 1967 until now, OK?



So, eventually, what about a one day meeting in a La Hague café?

Everyone who is interested in The Hague as a Prog Archives convention can send me a private message.

Where in The Hague do you live Glass House (I live in Loosduinen, Southern part)?

Keep me posted on this prog Convention. Not too long a drive from Alkmaar.  Zaadam is fine too.


is "Zaadam" the Dutch spelling for "Saddam"?  if so, I won't attend; else Friede and I will be glad to attend, provided it will not be on a day where other things are already planned (we'll be in the USA most of June and July, for example)

From what I gather if Jean and Friede are up to it, and most of the Dutch Colleagues (Joren, Huub, Erik etc...) are in and I am up to it also, this could make up to 10 or 12.

Buit first let's get a check on the date , before building up plans.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Great, the coffeeshop scene in Holland is (in)famous ! But that's not my cup of tea, I am more into good beers (see another topic). I hope, looking at the enthousiastic reactions from European progheads (France, Belgium, Holland and perhaps UK and Scotland) in this topic that we can plan a Prog Archives Convention in the forthcoming months. I would like to suggest that every interested proghead send a Private Message to me in order to plan something, OK?

The Fiddler is a great English pub, I am sure that I will watch their the World Champion matches from England, wonderful Birtish soccer atmosphere but before half time you are soaken of beer!

 Did you know that in the past this place was a music store named Servaas Muziekhandel, here all the famous Dutch artists bought their music equipment like The Golden Earring, Q65, Finch and Earth & Fire! Nowadays the owner lives on a small island that he bought in the Caribbean.

I know what the pub used to be. I didn't know that he now lives in the Caribbean.

April would be a nice day.

Do none of you guys and girls work for a living?

No, not near Sherston, but near grotty Swindon, urgh!

I have made other plans for this Friday, so I cannot make it.  But any other possible London meetings I maybe able to do, but it's not the easiest for me to travel there and back in one day, unless I have somewhere to sleep overnight!

My holiday on Aruba is from April 19th until May 11th so please early April or late May... I would like to plan a date because then I can ask this on the working schedule April/May that will be finished late February, OK? So I would like anybody who is interested (Glass House, Oliverstoned, Sean Trane, Moogtron III, BaldJean?, Joren?, others..) in a visit to The Fiddler pub in The Hague to react ...

By the way Glass House, your picture from The Fiddler caused a Pavlov Reflex in my mouth .... ..
