sienna Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 So you're not called Sienna?Wow, I wonder who else on here don't use their real name as a username. No it's not my real name but I've been very used to it by now! I always have to laugh at that bit when it comes to meetups. Someone will walk up, introduce herself and be like "hi, I'm Melissa..." and everyone just blinks at her. Then she goes "oh my MFC username is chickenloveslollipops" and suddenly everyone goes "ohhh!!!" and the lightbulbs of recognition are suddenly lit. Yes that is really funny!

kaatje066 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 If only people would just use their real name as username... My real name is Karin, but most of my friends call me Kaatje. So I feel pretty "real" in here. Shall we meet in a restaurant or something near to the Concertgebouw to eat something together?I know this has been proposed already, but maybe we could really start thinking about a time and place now? Or is it still too early to do that? That would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngievV Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You know, when we're there we can pick a restaurant. Perhaps we must have a place where we all meet up first:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinbabzz Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 We should meet in some nice cafe on Leidseplein! Couple of minutes walk from the venue, and LOADS of nice places to meet, plus easy to reach for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) What, chicken before the gig.....? I should be so lucky; lucky, lucky, lucky! Oh BTW. I'm sorry for starting the whole burlesque dancer/stripper discussion, that was not my intention No, I'm sure. Stuck a nerve though It's much easier to take the train from the airport, it only takes about 15 minutes to the Central Station, and from there you can get gazillions of busses and trams to the Museum square Yes but the bus is direct. Airport to hotel door. I'm very curious and happy to meet you all in Amsterdam. Please call me by my real name Anneke and NOT AMP or AnnaMariaPetra.....I feel stupid already If only people would just use their real name as username... Aren't you really Diana? I just have no imagination. Or not enough awareness of the dangers of the internet. So I am Ruth. I shared a room with Blue in London and to me she will always be Blue. I just got this from tickets@sandbag.uk.com Hi We’ve been asked to inform you that the tickets that we’ve sold for the Mika show in Amsterdam are RESERVED SEATS. Sorry for the confusion! We expect to receive the tickets next week and we’ll mail them to you as soon as we can so that you can find out which seats you’ve been allocated. Kind regards Helen@sandbag So it is reserved seats after all! I hope to have some nice seats . Oh great. Phew-ee Still folks be prepared. I bought presale tcks to see Mika at the Apollo in Manchester (Nov 2007) and I was 5 rows back. Everyone in front was to do with the staff, their friends and relatives or business. I'm still going to que It is part of the whole experience I will do what everyone else does. Queue if you queue, drink coffee in a nice bar if you all do that. Shall we meet in a restaurant or something near to the Concertgebouw to eat something together?I know this has been proposed already, but maybe we could really start thinking about a time and place now? Or is it still too early to do that? Indeed. Somewhere both classy and affordable. Also close so we can see the venue. My hotel perhaps Yes, I did see that! It's here, in English, if anyone wants details: http://www.gvb.nl/english/travellers/tickets-and-fares/Pages/concertgebouw-stadsschouwburg-ticket.aspx I think that means I can't benefit from free transport because I'll be arriving too early and leaving too late. But it's generous and welcome. I expect to pay my bus fares. What a mammoth multiquote!!!!! Edited May 17, 2009 by Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlindee Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 We could also just meet up on the Leidseplein and then just look a bit where we're going to eat. Except if we have to reserve first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, if we are with a big group it's wise to make a reservation somewhere! Especially if we want to be on time for Mika! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I got the e-mail too so I'm now relaxed about the seating. Perhaps if I checked my e-mail sooner I'd have been relaxed for longer. So I am completely sorted for organisation. Just clothes/packing etc. Are flashing hearts out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I liked the flashing hearts, but I haven't got one. I had one. Then I was wearing it at a gig, jumping up and down not paying attention, and the heart came down on the barrier and broke into pieces. I have a vintage MFC badge that I'm going to wear. Oh wow, so I Wikipedia'd Leidsplein - check out this panorama picture! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidseplein Forget Mika, I'm soooo excited to finally be going to Amsterdam!
