Well, I know I iced _some_ part of **Angua**. If not her boobs, then what? I have a tent. I could camp, providing someone else put it up for me. I’ve yet to manage that. ---

I would like to go drinking in Dublin. I’ve never even visited Ireland yet, so it’s about time. I was mentioning this very idea to **Twisty** on Monday evening. Amsterdam… sounds good. I have a friend or two who live there, and **Coldfire** would, I’m sure, make a very good host. All the better if the stunningly lovely **Eloise** is still around. I have a clump of friends who organised a barge trip every year, and I went along once or twice. It’s sort of like camping in a heavy wooden tent on sewage, but it does involve lots and lots of drinking and good times for one whole week. So that’s another idea to bear in mind. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by garius \* > Had they fallen down the back of a sofa? Nope, but they ended up in Amsterdam through a long chain of circumstances. My paternal grandfather was born in Riga, and his mother’s family was from Courland (now Latvia/Lithuania). He came to the States in 1905, but another branch of the family went to South Africa. From there, branches of them have since redispersed to Israel, Spain, Iran, the U.K., France, Argentina, Australia, and apparently Amsterdam. So another place I hang out online is [www.jewishgen.com](http://www.jewishgen.com) (I subscribe to a few of the e-mail lists). One day a guy posts that he’s looking for the burial place in South Africa of a person I knew to be my grandfather’s cousin, and whose widow I met when she visited my grandparents some years back. It was his uncle. The guy turned out to be really cool, and he and his family live in Amsterdam. I’d love to meet them sometime! And why are there no frigging pictures up yet from Saturday? I counted at least 3 digital cameras! ---

Opps, that’s [jewishgen.org](http://jewishgen.org). Lots of cool stuff on there! ---

**Ianzin** I still think the barge thing is a good idea. Plus Dublin too, let me know when you think you might want to go, and I’ll see if I can time my “Snuggling **Twisty** ” visit for the same time. 🙂 Oh, can I ask you guys a favour… Someone who was at the fest for the whole day, would you mind writing me up an account of what all happened so I can put it on the site. **Gyrate** , seeing as we didn’t really get a list of too many qoutes, I was thinking if you dont mind, could I put up your quiz questions so that people can have a look at those? (You’ll have to mail 'em to me, my memory aint that good! hee!) Still waiting for photos people! Common ya lazy sods! 😃 ---

Everybody’s welcome for an Amsterdope, be it on short notice or on the middle to long term. Relatives in town, Eva? How cool is that! What street do they live? It’s a small town, really, for all you know they might be my neighbours. 🙂 Perhaps I’ll start a tentative A’Dope thread one of these days, to get things sorted. Can’t make any promises WRT Heloise, **Ian** , but Í have a vested interest in her being here, too. 🙂 ---

The photos… [http://www.ianrowland.com/Attic/LonDope.html](http://www.ianrowland.com/Attic/LonDope.html) Enjoy. There are some people whose names I’ve forgotten. Sorry. I will correct errors and omissions as soon as I am notified of them. ---

Fantastic photos! I am _slightly_ worried that most of the photos of me show me with a pint in my hand - and its never a full one! 🙂 ---

I’d have thought **Ianzin** will volunteer too - he’s an even bigger attention-whore than i am. ---

well theres a surprise. on every single one of the photos i look absolutely mashed. granted i was at the end with the quiz, but the ones in the chandos i’d barely been drinking 2 hours. garius is your best bet for an account i reckon. i have trouble remembering stuff when i’m sober, never mind on a leo sayer. see? apostrophes! ---
