De zomer 2006 eindigde in De Bilt qua temperatuur op de derde plaats sinds 1901: alleen 1947 en 2003 waren warmer.

In the end, they were all warm...

wow, a pub with a history, i like that!
i think as we get closer to "The Event", we'll have to organize a meeting at that pub, the night before
that is as long as the landlady at the B&B we're staying lets us out late at night. She sounded pretty strict on the phone:D

Thanks for the answers! I'm definitely looking forward to Nijmegen even more now, wahey!

We had the choice either to stay in Amsterdam and head to Nijmegen on the day of the gig. But we decided to go straight to Nigmegen because we'll get free hotel nights there. Plus the time is way too short for our first visit to Amsterdam anyway.

A meeting in a pub would be really cool. Let's talk about it closer to the date. You'll find us in a pub with pints anyway, haha...

It all depends on how early you want to head to the festival grounds... We could all meet in the center somewhere for a drink.

About the weather, last year we had the longest heat wave ever, statistically that wouldn't be good for this year, but since the weather is really weird lately I think it'll be a very nice day weather wise.

dunno....guess play it all by ear. and hey, i may just travel down with you to nijmegen, so i'll be easy to find.


man, i hope it's not hot..i really can't stand hot weather, and new york in june is HOT...so i'd be more than happy to go somewhere that's a bit cooler.


however, as it'll be the last of my pearl jam adventures in europe this go round, it's sure to be a great/special time!

and......ABSOLUTELY.....totally hope we get some before or after meet-up going...seems too lovely a place to not stop and visit in just a bit. so someone familar should pick a place for certain!

You'll be easy to find anyway, I just look for a fair-skinned lady who says "Oh my gawd"

Ah don't worry, better some sun than rain! You can stand in the shade next to me

Heh, my 11th KOL show inside 12 months. Wonder if they'll do any others among the Europe shows?

vedder_soup

if i was home in oz when pj were there back in november, i would have seen them quite a few times. Alas, it was only BDO 2006 where i saw them

Is that an offical site? It loads a page with very little info and nothing on the support acts. Or am I just dumb?

It's an official site. And your right. Very little info, just like http://www.peppersinthepark.nl/

i don't say oh my gawd.........:p but sure, fair skinned...long dark curly hair.....neuw yawwkka accent....saying 'holy shit!'


ahhhhhhhhh...my own personal shade.....thanks my friend! :cool:


oh and so......incubus and kings of leon.........?
so all we need is the other support act for the full billing. i'd guess none will play longer than 45 - 60 minutes...thus if it starts at 5, still plenty of time for a loooooonnnnng pearl jam show.

I hope they don't treat it as a mini-festival and play a shorter show! I want at least 2 hours of PJ, ha!
