My proposal is to meet at about 1000 AM at Central Station in The Hague on Saturday March 18th. We pick up the 'foreigners' and we start for a sightseeing, including Het Binnenhof, De Gevangenpoort, Het Vredespaleis and then record shop Plaatboef, 'coffee' shop Sky High, perhaps the Red Light District (by request  ), every other or additional proposal is welcome. Then we could go to my home for a drink and listening/watching some special or rare progrock. Eventually we can have a pint and a dinner in The Fiddler, an English pub/restaurant in the center of The Hague.

We should talk about the sleeping places for 'the foreigners', Sean Trane has a great offer I read! Is this OK to you?

I live in Alkmaar (during the week, but I guess also that special WE) which is about one hour drive north from The Hague, but can be conveniently close to Amsterdam for a sunday visit - three minute walk to the train station and 30 min to  Amsterdam Centraal station - or a day on the beach - just dunes sand and sea at this point but remember that it is only mid-march and it is the North Sea.

Ideally I can house two  progheads in separate rooms and maybe a third one on the sofa.

Should the two Archives members (that have already in principle accepted) confirm this to me, this would then leave just one more candidate.

Tents in the yard are not yet an option
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

Excellent and "well-balanced" programm!

I have to go there (it seems to be the best coffee in The Hague):
"Koffie en Dromen" Westeinde 86, 's-Gravenhage.
Is it far from the train station?

Thanks to "amsterdam coffeeshop directory" website

It features a full list of all shops of Netherlands, with reviews.

Good news that it's close to the station. However, it's said that it's hard to find.

Koffie En Dromen is a quite popular 'coffee' shop, it's on the road from the center of The Hague to my home in South-East The Hague. Every time when I am travelling from my home to Central Station to go to Rotterdam for my work, I can smell the typical 'coffee'  scent when I pass Westeinde ...

^^^^^^^Ok, I know I spoke of this Red Light District first, but if our BaldAngels are part of this trip (as they hinted they would), we may want to be gentlemen and not subject them to our male hormonal behaviour.

I suggest that we give up on this idea or at least check on them how they would feel about it. You never know, they have some surprising attitudes to us males.

Great news! But how will we recognise you?
