Hi guys,

Who's in for a pre concert meetup for Antwerp? Let's say around 17h? I haven't got a location yet, so any suggestions are more than welcome! I'd like something within walking distance of the venue... Please write down your name and the number of people you are bringing, so we can have an idea of the size of the group...

See you soon!
Maarten

The more, the merrier!

List of participants: (updated June 26)
1) Maarten Massa (Belgium)
2-3) Wendy (Mabeanie1) and Tony (UK)
4-5) Eddy Massa and Ann Mechiels (Belgium) - Maarten's parents!
6-7-8) Colia (Lia and Tia and ...)
9-10) Willy and Wijbe (the Netherlands)

Hi Maarten

I would love to have a catch up with you - the Beacon seems so long ago! I'm not sure when we will be arriving in Antwerp but we will get to the pre-show meet if we possibly can so please put me on your list. Tony is coming to Antwerp too (he's doing the driving!) So:

Wendy & Tony (UK) - provisional

See you soon.

Wendy

Hey Maarten, I'd like to be at the pre-concert. There's going to be 2(possibly 3) people coming with me.
I will let you know when I know for sure!

Hi guys,

I wanted to go and check some places close to the Sport Palais out, but will not be able to do so... I had an email conversation with the staff of the venue to see if we could get an early entrance, but this wasn't possible because of safety issues, etc... The man did suggest a bar across the street of the Sport Palais for the meetup. Since I haven't got any better ideas myself, I decided to go for his suggestion:

Backstage & Time Out

Tweemontstraat 449 (opposite the Antwerp Sport Palais)
2100 Deurne
België

Meetup there starting around 5PM, but always welcome a bit later!

See you soon,
Maarten

Ok... blast from the past.

Maarten I just saw your last name here in this topic and I recognized it (it's a name you don't hear often, it must be you I think?). Yeeeaaaaars ago me and two of my friends were at the beach and were staying up late giggling and gossiping and whathaveyou and we started talking to a stranger who was walking on the "dijk" ... that was you, right?? We went for a game of pool as well I think one night in Knokke. And we made some kind of porridge with lots of lumps in it. Ah the good old times

It's a small world - if it is indeed you - what a coincidence to "run into you" here. That I even clicked on this topic

By the way I'm not going to the Antwerp concert unfortunately - as I'm actually going to the beach with my friends this weekend and it was booked already when I heard of the Antwerp concert.
But, I'm going to one of the Dublin concerts.

Anyway, I hope you're doing well. Sorry for crashing this thread

Leisha,
A PM is on it's way, but I do remember this (although not very clearly...)

You girls (I thought you were 2?) made me rediscover David Bowie by playing his "Singles Collection" over and over. And there was another artist that we all loved too, I guess it was Nick Cave (A Boatman's Call?) but I'm not to sure about that one...

Anyway, you've got a good memory!
Maarten

Two more to show up
Hans en Daniella (The Netherlands).

Any ideas for an after concert meetup?
Just kidding.
I now know the place to meet similar souls.

Backstage & Time Out

Great Marteen that you organise this.
Will try to make it to the meetup.
Please wear a Tshirt with your name on it ))

Yesterday was great, saturday will be wonderful....

cheers

Hi Maarten

Clem and Roger (UK) will try and join you all if we arrive around 5 or so.

Clem

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who joined us for the meetup, the ones I talked to during the intermission and all the other forum members I met along the way...
I posted some pictures on my FaceBook account, you can find them here:
