HMH Amsterdam Dirty meet

[lloyd]

Ok, we picked a bar to meet at before the gig.

dirty meeting 17-07-2005 time: not set yet. 4pm is what I am thinking about. Ok?

We'll meet at Jinso, a bar/restaurant/terrace that is easy to find in the middle of the square in front of the Heineken Music Hall. Depending on the weather we'll be in or outside, spot the underworld shirts...

At groundlevel there is a terrace and a bar, where you also can order simple food.

How to get there:
Bijlmer metro and train station is a 2 minute walk from the HMH. Walk in the direction of the Amsterdam ArenA, the football stadium of Ajax Amsterdam. The Heineken Music hall is next to the Pathé Cinema. Jinso is right in front of that.

Metro from central station: lijn (route) 54
Get out at Station Bijlmer

At what time? The concert is supposed to start at 8 pm, but I guess that Blackstrobe will play first.

[lloyd]

Good one! :)

[Camiel]

Don't wait for me. I'm not sure if I'll attend the meeting.

[lloyd]

No problem.

[stimpee]

We can arrive 30mins after UW have started, as long as we can hear them from the terrace it doesnt really matter... ;)

[Leon]

On second thought, if the meeting starts 4pm, I might actually come over and stay for a few hours :D

[Camiel]

Yeah go on Leon, torture yourself. :D

[stimpee]

BTW, Batman Begins is showing in the same building in IMAX format so if they are still showing it (I assume they will be).. would anyone be interested? :)

[Jason Roth]

See you all there.

[Geo]

Sounds brilliant!

I will arrive in Amsterdam on sunday at 2 o'clock,
then I have to check in in my hotel in the city centre,
then get to HMH..
So 4 o'clock is okay.

[Jason Roth]

I arrive on Saturday, so 4pm Sunday is fine with me. I should be over my jet-lag by then.

[big screen satellite]

Is the movie in English with Dutch subtitles? Or is it dubbed into Dutch?

[stimpee]

In holland they dont dub anything. its all subtitled! \o/

[sole_fellow]

cant wait for the gig!! finally i'll get to see uw live, and meet up with a few of your dirty/rtsr ppl. hopefully we'll be able to find you all!!

[stimpee]

shouldnt be too difficult, if youre on time. last dirty meet in 2002 at the HMH, there were nightmare queues outside in the rain and for everything and i missed the meet...

[lloyd]

Like I said, look for underworld shirts. I think I wear my blue tractor BS one, or my green BS one.
I'll have a recent picture on my blog tomorrow.

[stimpee]

JUST possible that there will be lots of UW shirts there ;) its an UW gig! maybe eikman's pics of dirts will help. everyone should submit theirs!

[Céj]

looking forward to meeting you all, i'll probably be at that Jinso place around 5pm or are you going to the batman film?

[lloyd]

Hmm I guess I'm the one that has to wait at the cafe for all the people I have tickets for. So I'll be there.
p.s. my pic is at Eikmans dirties page now.

[Domel]

[lloyd]

Ah! great :)
All info is in the first post of this thread.

[Raz]

Suitcase is packed, look out orange people...

[lloyd]

You better watch out for the tullip filled cloggies trown down from windmills!

[lloyd]

Last chance for UW@HMH tickets, there are some on auction at dutch www.ebaynl . (not me selling)
Good luck!

[King of Snake]

btw. wouldn't it be cool to try and arrange a meeting with Karl, Rick and Darren? Especially now that's there's so many dirts coming over. Any way of catching them backstage or outside the venue? I've heard stories of people who apparently were able to meet them before or after gigs, and get some autographs or pictures taken, but I always wonder how they manage to do that, unless you have like backstage passes, or perhaps powerful friends working at the venue. :)
Any thoughts?

[Dirty0900]

You can always hang around the venue like a psycho fan and grab a word then!

[stimpee]

Batman Begins running time is 141 mins so i'd like to go and see the 12.30 show. If I go to the 15.30 show i'll be out just before 18.00 i suspect.

[stimpee]

Schedule for tomorrow:

doors open: 18.30
Darren Price 18.30-19.45
Blackstrobe live 19.45-20.15
Darren Price 20.15-21.00
Underworld 21.00-23.00 (or event over at 23.00 anyway, they may finish before 23.00)

[lloyd]

Well... I'm off to Amsterdam.
By the reports about the other gigs we are in for something real good :)
We'll let you know how it was :D

p.s. Karl, check the first post in the thread for the directions for the meeting ;)
(well... a man can try, can't he?)

[stimpee]

yeah, me too. im off. looks like a nice day to sit on the terrace and drink Heineken!

[lloyd]

And it was :D
Mike & Friend from OZ (sorry I'm terrible with names) 2 people from Czech, Jason from NY, Raz and Janie from the UK, Stimpee (exUK) Holland, 2 people from Poland who later had their friends also there a group of 10 in total, Cej and Geo from Belgium, Lou Basz Numbpie KoS Ronald (+ 2 lovely ladies) and me from Holland. Great meeting all those people. We had a nice time at the terrace of the bar in te sun, drinking beers and iceteas etc, chatting about Underworld and other things.
Great couple of hours and we still had to see the concert then..
More about that later.

[lloyd]
