Are you going pokkeherrie, or is ATP gonna make you have to rush, and not worth the hassle?

i'll be back in holland by then, but i'm not 100% sure yet if i can be there... can't really afford to miss it though.

well, you know how i look like!

this is the part where you all say that you'll be there and yeah...like yeah....

hm, i really wanted to think about making a little trip to the netherlands...great line-up, one of the best line-ups in years i think.... too bad SY are playing there on the 15th, i gotta perform with a band at a lame Emergenza festival that day, i'm already missing out on some SY action the 11th and 12th for fucks sake..ohwell..i'll get over it.


btw: it's great to see 'some' belgian stuff on there too (me being such a patriot 'n stuff fo' sho'..heh), i saw the Sedan vault a while ago here in belgium..great band, watch out for 'em.

a tentative time schedule seems to be up now

i dont know. ive been to paar van troje last week to see how it is, i just saw a big sign and the office. avent been inside though

Hey should I bring my own bottle, just in case?
Your habbit of firing off dozens of questions every other post is going to give someone a nervous breakdown someday, young man.

I rarely go to Het Paard... Since they re-opened after renovation about 3 years ago (they were closed for 4 years!) I've only been there about 2-3 times... for Comets on Fire, Charalambides and last year's state-x new forms. The venue itself looks pretty good now (the old place surely didn't), but they just rarely seem to book anything interesting.
