dialectics Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 DaVe: Dancevalley meetup? They usually have a little balloon that can be seen from most of the festival ground that makes a convenient meetup point. its usually right near the internet stations with webcams, so you can send pictures back home saying "i'm at dancevalley and youre not". alls we need to do is find a time in the lineup where there aren't 4 djs we all want to see erick, hope to see ya there... what did you decide about the netherlands? peaz,rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dialectics Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 bastards you should sue. yeah i was going to do eindhoven for the summer but they only paid about $600/mo - because ms and phd students in the netherlands have to do an internship as part of their program, so they don't need to pay expensive coders like me.... dammit.

D.Schwartz Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 I cant imagine what it would feel like to listen to tiesto while smoking a fucking huge Blunt without worrying about cops.. Jesus im jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dialectics Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 you can do great searching here: http://www.bookings.nl - i've used them for the past 3 years and they were great. you can see the maps of everything.flying pig is DIRT CHEAP, although it is dorm style accomodations (e.g. you are sleeping in the same room with 8 strangers). you can book there frmo flyingpig.nl - a lot of people swear by it. the bulldog also has cheap dorm-style beds.it is hard to find cheap accomodations because of that fucking moron who continues to pour billions into the pockets of his friends, while the dollar grows weaker. the dollar/euro used to be about 1:1, now its .85 euro to the dollar. in other words, this is the worst possible time to be in europe.my advice on location:i like to stay in the leidseplein or museumseplein area... its a little out of the way (about a 20-25min walk from centraal station) but it is quiter, a little cheaper, and a bit out of the way. most of central amsterdam is not safe to walk around after 2-3am, and all of the coffeeshops are closed at around that time, although the dolphins is open 1hr later (close by our 2nd year hotel, de la haye, which was great although the staircase is way too steep to walk up when you're on mushrooms). and also there is vondelpark nearby, which is the only park in amsterdam (and up until recently, the entire world) that you are legally allowed to smoke in. you can stay there prety late and still feel really safe.if you want to be around where the action is, then most definitely stay close to the inner circle... amsterdam is 4 concentric circles. first there is the circle between centraal station and dam square, which is where most of the tourists are, and also the red light district. then there is the circle between centraal station and the bottom of Rokin. again still tourists and a good area to shop and walk around. Don't forget to check out de rokereij. then there is the circle between centraal station and the leidseplein. when you get out here, it is more residential, and where a lot of the work in amsterdam gets done. here there are great shops that the locals will go to, and also the flower market. it is much quieter here. until you get to the bottom, then there is the leidseplein, which is where all of the resturants and bars and outdoor cafes are. continue on to the 4th circle and you have vondelpark and the museumseplein, the heineken brewery, etc. if you're desperate the VVV in centraal station or right across the street from there can help you find a hostel once you're there, but you will pay more and probably not get a location within amsterdam proper, and have to take a bus. also, ask to make sure the hotel you're staying at is a smoking room if you want to smoke in your room. we chose to specifically take a non-smoking room, because hell - we're in amsterdam, why should we stay in our hotel??????our first year we stayed outside of town, which was a pain in the ass because we had to be home by midnight every night or else it would cost $20 for a taxi. the 2nd year we stayed at De la Haye, which was very cheap, but a 4th floor walkup (in europe that really means we have to walk up 5 flights, since the lobby doesn't count as a floor!). de la haye aws in the perfect neighborhood, right by the dolphins so we ended up smoking there every night before bed. it was very quiet and residential though, so don't go screaming and yelling, etc. last year we stayed at hotel janson, in a sweet triple room with our own private balcony. it was in the museumseplein, and a little hard to find (since the street was not on the map we had) but once we figured out the tram system it was perfect - 5min to the city center! then we stayed at the torenzicht, right in the heart of the red light district. you could stare out your window and watch the girls in the windows doing their thing. it was a little seedy, but close to everything so that was cool. ok, a lot seedy.this year we're staying right between the museumseplein and vondelpark - perfect for smoking after dark with the hippies.oh well i could talk about amsterdam for days.
