EELS In Performance (spoilers) / Re: Caprera Bloemendaal 14-8-2013

I've paid more to see the eels before (but it also included a stay in Melbourne, so there were other benefits). It was also my first and second time, so I still had that giddy 'I-was-an-eels-concert-virgin-not-too-long-ago' aura about me. These days I probably wouldn't pay it.

It's official: August 6-14, me, Amsterdam, etc. I might make a trip or two outside of the city, though I can't imagine where.

GHENT. It is but a couple of hours by train and Micky also has to come anyway considering he has harshly judged Belgium without visiting its best city  ;)

Then we can have a mini meet up surrounded by medieval buildings in a giddy haze of Belgian beer.

The Patersholfeesten is scheduled for 9 – 11 august so it is perfect timing (a lovely event).

Thanks again  :)

Mr B: you definitely played a part. I wouldn't have hung around when discovering the board if the group of frequent posters back then weren't an interesting bunch.

P.S Please don't think of anything else, a signed Billy head is top of our wishlist.

P.P.S Alternatively, a photo of Billy's head on a wedding dress. I will treasure it.

Aw, thanks. It's quite surreal to think back to how everything started. We probably wouldn't have even known each other existed if not for the eels and earlier incarnations of this board  :) Credit where credit is due!

Congratulations guys, glad to hear the news :)

When's the big date?

Early May 2014 (so one year away).

music / NMH reunion tour! Attn: Micky!

Neutral Milk Hotel are doing a reunion tour  ;D

They will be the first shows since 1998.

They better frickin' come to Belgium (or a neighbouring country).

I high fived the binster :-* :-* :-*

I'm weird though, sometimes it takes me too long to respond and I end up doing a really gentle high five and then its just awkward bininess.

PS I have your phone number now. I am this much closer to being able to stalk you *demonstrates small gap with index finger and thumb*. Plus, these days there's no oceans in the way  :D

Are you serious about Febo? They are automats  :o Sjaakie I thought you were a chef!! 

I know it's a cultural experience but maybe people can try it as a snack/lunch during the day instead? I would much prefer to sit down at a restaurant for dinner (Wagamama as Mickey mentioned is good for me, or if people want something Dutch then some place else is fine too). It's just that we will have been walking the whole day and we're going to want to sit. I suffer from back pain and am already worried about standing up at the concert so it will be even worse for me if we can't sit to eat before going to the eels.  :-\

On a less whiny note, I'm very much looking forward to meeting all you old chummy chums.

'ello old chums; tis been a jolly good while! I'm looking forward to this.

Does this mean I can popquiz the Binster on the Dutch language?

Is there a booby prize?

I went to look up The Wire after all this talk of it. According to Wikipedia there is someone who likes it even more than you guys...

What is going on with this board? I go away for a while and return to find the complain about stuff thread is 11 threads down!

Look at you, all normal and happy and smug. And you call yourselves Eels fans.....

I'm still alive (and for the record, even if I were locked in the basement, I would be very well fed! It's like a mini supermarket in there).

Truth be told it was Micky's sparkles that brought me back.

Schlomo you might like Party Down or Bored to Death, they're both enjoyable comedies.

The "Woolythinking...makes me feel Seventh Monkey..."  double entendre still makes me chuckle.  :)

Teheheh, I had totally forgotten this song. I'm sure I have it saved somewhere, along with recordings of me and Emma swearing in our different accents, and Liesbet speaking Dutch :D

PS: I am wearing Bini's shirt right now. Thanks, Bini!

The song is classic. I don't understand how a bunch of you just didn't notice it somehow...Tucker must have uploaded it during a time some of you were away from the board?

And about the shirt - you're welcome! I'm happy to hear people are still getting use out of them  :)

Anything for you Micky



I love how your hair is positioned perfectly in line with your bag strap, making it look like a continuation of your 'do  ;)
