    i get in on thursday & head home tuesday

    table #388 @ the show, percy has mega jazz heat
    (we tried to book a second table but couldn't hook up #387 or 9)
    i'm bringing some of what's left of my reggae collection
    & all the jazz & funk that dig dug doesn't buy at the radio shows

    will be staying at the swanky park plaza
    (& sleeping @ truckstops on the way to the austin to afford euro price shock)

    what night & where in the dam is the ss event ??!?

    i'm pretty sure that you can rent an apartment, but isn't that going to be a little too expensive?
    you'll be at the record coinvention all day anyway

  • i am looking for accommodation that is better than a hostel but cheaper than a decent hotel, perhaps an apt is more expensive. i think i am just going to arc on the sat because i need to catch up on a lot of pot smoking and prostitute ogling. can anyone recommend accommodations? if someone wants to put me and my girl up on your couch we will buy you records, booze and food.

    how much better are the record deals on sun?

    some dealers will sell their records for 50% less. which is usually a great deal. i bought most records on sunday afternoon. i think one dealer even had a 80% discount later on...

    I never stayed there, but I think De La Haye Hotel not too expensive and right in the city centre, so conveniently located for pot smoking and hooker checking.


    I'll probably be at the ARC sunday afternoon.

    ARC wise

    I will get in Thursday night.

    Friday night WAXPLOITATION! does a heavy funk & soul 45 party. I think the psych hotel party might be going down then as well but not sure.

    Saturday night I think Friends of Sound is hosting the record party again this year.


    What are the dates of Utrecht this time around?

    I'm a little slow when I got records on the mind. Pointman's eyes glazed over.

    I'm coming - I'll be in Utrecht 16.11-19.11.
    Can someone recommend a good hotel close to the place where the recordfair is?

    Do you need a dealers pass to get in on friday? If so, how can I buy it?

  • nzshadownzshadow 5,525 Posts
    Stay tuned, FejMelba and i are cooking something up, more later.

    park plaza & nh are close, cheaper options are a bus or train ride away

    friday has an early admission, not cheap, 50 euros maybe ?

    amstredam action yes, auction no [maybe over in the redlights]

    there will be party, i will party. non stop

    yes, you can buy an early pass at jarbuers, i think 9am is early admission
    there are also people outside selling day passes on the dl,
    sometimes cheaper than the official deal, not sure if it works

    i have never tried that dutch hootch (some form of gin ??)

    is it worth the risk ?

  • nzshadownzshadow 5,525 Posts
    oh yes it is.

    Righto gentlemen, I just met with FejMelba.

    HERE'S THE DEAL:

    SATURDAY 17TH NOVEMBER[/b]

    If it is raining:

    Dinner at FejMelbas place (central Amsterdam) he is a chef so it will be great.

    If it is not raining:

    Dinner on a boat that i will be driving on the Amsterdam canals.

    Then:

    There will be coffeeshop missions and, if there is time, NZshadows bar tour.

    Then from 22:00 it is all vinyl all night in the newly renovated upstairs lounge at Boom Chicago on the Leidseplein in central Amsterdam.

    Bring records.

    Open decks for all strutters and i have just sorted the bartab.

    Drinks on me fellas.

    We are printing flyers and taking care of promoting the night.

    It is a lounge bar, so this is a very relaxed affair, strutters, records, drinks, smoke and a crew of regulars down to hear good music.

    Its on.

    any questions, PM me.

    Alan.

  • coffinjoecoffinjoe 1,743 Posts
    oh yes it is.

    THANKS !!!

    for putting this together

    it will be real !!


  • thanks nzshadow and fejmelba, sounds like a stupendous night.

    Ahhh, this is sooo tempting. I know I would need atleast a grand to spend on records though, besides hotel, train and coffeeshop b/w hooker money

    I even got the week off after the ARC....ahhh tormenting tormenting...
    Grope give me a call. I might have to change my mind
