March 18th Prog Archives The Hague

We had a very pleasant day: good beers, good conversations, lots of fun, some nice sightseeing and eventually we ended in a great restaurant (Sean was highly impressed by the hugues  collection of Belgian beers) with delicious starters, main dishes and deserts. Conclusion: A PERFECT DAY, TO BE CONTINUED, NEXT TIME PARIS, LONDON OR BRUSSELS? Thanks Syzygy, Alucard, Oliverstoned, Christophe, Sean, Tony and Joren, now I know the faces behind the names, soon all details will be revealed on the Prog Archives Forum!

Unfortunately the Baldies didn't show up, everybody is concerned why not!

Sounds like you guys had a great time,would love to hear all about it.

Us American boys should do this.

It was a very relaxed and pleasant meeting. Coversational subjects were : Beer ( in the restaurant ) Sean knew more of beer and stuff then the guy who worked there !!! . There was a big shout for Led Zep to be added here on PA, maybe influenced by the Bubblegum , and beer. Got a few recommendations from the French ( Present ), bought a cd from Hughes ( J.T. ) and was given a cd by Gong ( you )  from Oliver and one from Caravan ( In the land of ... ) from Martin ( Alucard ).

Thrashed the top 100 list, and discussed the ratings , we were going for the half stars included. Joren, Syzygy and Hughes covered the Zeuhl/RIO territory with me just listening. I was once more amazed by the vast knowledge of everyone. Triumph was flying over the table but not in a flattering way.

Even though we spent plenty of time together, I wished it would have been longer, there was not enough time to talk to everyone for a long period.

Thanks to Syzygy, Erik ( for leading the group and for the restaurant ), Hughes, Oliver, Alucard, Christophe and Joren for a very interesting and enjoyable day. For another meeting, count me in !

Cd's bought, Erik mentioned that allready, also a  Supersister ( Dutch ) cd was bought. !!

Oliver, talk to Christophe , he must be in the PA forum.  The pictures will arrive a.s.a.p. ( with me out of it   )   More later. Martin, we will discus the GG subject, maybe on PA ?

duh groetuh uit duh haag ( greetings from The Hague ) spelled with the hague accent.

And there was this one,

We had loads of fun, Joren and me made a bit of fun about the wonderful pronounciation of Syzygy's English ( he is a teacher ) , oh realy !. Chris was a good sport about it all.

The owner of the last cd shop we went to wanted to leave on time. He was not ready for the European invasion !  Especially Christophe ( he bought some vinyl ) was not pleased that the owner said he had to close the shop otherwise his wife would slaughter him. And out we went.

Unfortunatly, the country is quite big. Europe is more close-knit I believe.
