Great to see you guys (and gals!) are having a get together. Makes me feel like moving countries - Netherlands sounds like an interesting prospect. Send me a postcard...or some photo's please!!

What do you mean exactly?

Whip lashing out inadvertantly on vinyls make permanently damaged vinyls!!!

OK!! let's get serious

March 18 is only six weeks away!!! Time to think about your tickets if you want to travel at lower costs as long-term reservation tickets can come at half-price than last minute orders

Those of you travelling by train, which I suspect is the case with Syzygy and Alucard and Oliverstoned.

Chris, you might want to check for ferries London to Hoek Van Holland or Rottedam >> this is just a spit away from The Hague

If london-brussels is 2H30 long via Eurostar and Paris-Brussels via Thalys  is 1H30, Brussels - The Hague is roughly 2H30 via Thalys (this may appear outrageously long , but it is not yet on its proper site and will not be until next year)!! This means that you being in THE Hague for 10AM is impossible if you depart on saturday!!! Good thing about this is that you do not change station: you arrive to Brussels Midi and do not have to change station since the line towards Netherlands starts at Brussels Midi

For our BaldAngels, I do not know the German train situation but coming from Klon to Brussels and then The Hague is likely also too long , so they might think of an alternative other than Brussels 

remember that those Thalys and Eurostar trains are expensive enough that if you are two buying tickets, it might be cheaper to drive (and so much more flexible, too)

let's just stay above the moral melee

We'll travel by car. Prepare yourself for some lively moments, because we'll bring Alice and Dorothy along (both aged 4). Alice is the more agile of these two, but Dorothy has the more wicked ideas; together they are a holy terror.

ADMIN SPEAKING: On no account is any member of Prog Archives to steal large chunks of Sean Trane's collection and then try to sell it to interested parties on the sly.

I repeat that such behaviour is not just illegal but immoral ... and that I for one will not accept stolen goods at greatly discounted prices

You may secretly slip them into my rucksack though.

I'll gladly slip that embarrassing Fleetwood Mac Rumours Lp in your rucksack!

But if you two are taking the kids, it means no whip and chains, then?

I know a few disappointed progheads that might just cancel the trip!

Kids throughout the day, whips and chains at night.

Those of you travelling by train, which I suspect is the case with Syzygy and Alucard and -

Thank you very much to think about that.

-First, i confirm that i'll come with a proghead friend.

-Second, we are currently wondering if we come by train or plane.
Indeed, we'll not be abble to arrive at 10.00AM if we leave by train on Saturday Morning. We are not planning to leave Friday night and sleep in the train, cause we already been to Amsterdam (with the same friend) using night train and it was so bad that i've been unable to sleep at all.

So, if we choose to leave from Paris at about 8.00 AM, we'll be there around 12.00, which is not bad i think.

If we come by plane, we'll be there sooner i suppose.
But in this case, the matter is to know how far from the rendez vous is the airport location.

Anyway, i'd prefer the train, cause i'd not feel very secure in plane since the recent aerial accidents.
Moreover, train enables to enjoy the countryside view better than plane.

Hi!

I hope someone will have a photo device (me and my friend haven't it) to take some pics and put it on the forum.
And BTW, your signature's Fripp quote is excellent.

PLANE:

If you land in Schipol , the airport is on my way down to the Hague and there are many trains doing Amsterdam- Schipol- The Hague so that is easy, too!

CAR:

might be the longest (that is not even sure though, because of transfers) but ending up the cheapest especially if at three with Martin - shared gas costs

It is no problem to meet at Den Haag Central Station 1200 AM instead of 1000 AM I presume ?

let's not panic here,ERIK!  we still have six weeks for the precise time of meeting.

Considering that in London; this was finally set-up with only two days to go, we are on schedule

It's "Belladonna" strain. VERY psychedelic and extremely intense rush, close to mushrooms. Not for little players!
But i expect that the real Hawaiain must be even crazier.
