Amsterdam, last weekend in April? Is this a reality? Or am I the only one who remembers this conversation?

Bloody hell - I thought it was April the 15-16th - but never you worry, I’ll be there if the rest of you turns up. Hopefully my motorcycle will have passed German inspection at the time… Anyway, I’m there!

I remember it too… There are, however some things to bear in mind.

1. Koninginnedag (ya know, the Queens birthday) is held on SATURDAY the 29th this year - the 30th is on a Sunday, see?

2. My girlfriend has accepted a job in London starting May 1. There is a very good chance I will be helping her move to the island that weekend. I don’t know how that would affect things… FWIW, Moonshine lives in Amsterdam as well… got a spare room, Moony 🙂

I hope I will be able to attend, but things are not looking good, I must say. And next year, I might be living in London too… of course, I’ll hop over to Amsterdam for Koninginnedag… Moony, got a spare room?

I’d love to come to a European Dopers’ Convention but the last week in April is extremely bad for me, since my parents and sister are coming to visit from America. Anytime in July or August would be great. I’d like to travel a bit, but if you want to have it in Barcelona, which is a lot cheaper than most of the rest of Europe, that would be cool, too.

Massive correction. Anytime in August or September, though I can get away for three-day weekends in July.

Haifa, Israel; Dubrovnic; Corfu or Souda Bay, Greece are good for me.  
Though with advance notice, and a four day port visit, I may be able to arrange air travel to and from a debauche.  
E-mail me with specs.

Oh hell, when and where ARE we doing this? Before the end of July, please, as I’m moving back Stateside. Actually, anytime in July, and anywhere, would be good, as I’ll have an InterRail pass (doing the Grand Tour thing before shelving my passport and paying taxes to Uncle Sam).
