I really like the idea the boat, not sure though if I can. Perhaps on day two.

and an idea... 10C canal cruises

That would be fun! A 10C boat or two!

Boom Chicago has "Boat like a local", private booking. If we started a list I'm sure we could set it up. I'll write them and get the info... seating, capacity,cost, etc... I already know it is "smoker and drinking friendly"... and if I remember right it was fairly inexpensive. Something like $20 a person +-

I'll start a list..

1) myoung321 +1

Those that don't know: Boom Chicago is an improv comedy club in Amsterdam, (Seth Meyers was a cast member before going to SNL)...

I'm up for it on day 2. Planning to stand in line most of day 1

coming from FL, USA for both amsterdam shows and it's my first time in the country (and europe)

so far the best advice i've seen online about amsterdam:

1) don't walk in the bike lanes
2) DON'T WALK IN THE FUCKIN BIKE LANES

really hoping for tremor christ on either setlist!

the most dangerous city in the world for the walkers
)

It's not that bad......haha, I think it's much more dangerous walking in London or Paris.

Try Rome that place is like crazy.

Come on jammers..i just make a joke..of course its a great city for walking into the small streets or the canals..i always enjoying wondering around,see the buildings,the parks,etc..but you have to admit..they drive like crazy..and sometimes not in the bike lanes..and sometimes also they don't use the horn

karmadefect

Well in Rome it's not so much the bikes that are a problem. I can't even remember if I've been one.
But crossing the road in Rome definetly a challenge.

I lived in So Cal for 30 years....Driving the L.A. Freeways makes Amsterdam seem like an amusement park

You just have to be aware of your surroundings and give all bikes the right of way.. and survive another day

BOAT CRUISE I shot a mail off to the cruise director, so hopefully I'll hear something back soon.

- I was thinking have one cruise for the afternoon/evening of the 15th... day before first show.

Then maybe one in the afternoon before show two? late lunch time.. Figure get off the cruise and head to Metro or Centraal Station and go directly to Ziggo and hang out before the show.... those with GA can get in line.

I guess the best way to do it is PM if your interested and I'll keep the list updated. When I have more details on how many spots are available I'll let you know.

----------------------------
/ BOOM CHICAGO BOAT // RETURNS SPRING 2014 ! Skip the boring, floating tour buses and head to Boom Chicago for our smaller, open-air boats. We go through the canals too narrow for the big boys (like the heart of the red light district). This is the best boat ride in Amsterdam.

There are no headphones or recorded multi-language tours. On board is a Boom host/guide/good guy who sets the right tone. He knows the city and the best cruises turn into great conversations.

We attract a interesting group who likes our fun, laid-back atmosphere. Some want to learn things, and some just want to hang around with their friends and enjoy the ride. We’re cool with either.

One beer, wine or soda is included. Bring your own food and drinks for a floating picnic. Smoking (wink wink) is allowed.

A Boom Chicago Boat is like your friend’s boat… well your jerk friend who charges you money. Dress warmly. You can always take layers off. €17 for 75-90 min ride, depending on captain’s whim. Boats go out most days at 3 or 4, but schedule can change.

Great idea..but maybe someone organize a party before the first show like 2012???

Party before the first show?
Man I was working befor ethe first show and after that rushing my ass of just to get there in time.
When I got in I think it was ten minutes until they started playing.
I saw no such thing as a party.

I lived in Amsterdam for 6 months in 2008. What an incredible city and the Dutch are the best people in Europe.

Coming back for these two shows.

So is the train from centraal really the only way to get to the ziggo dome??
I swear there was a tram that went out there.

Boom Chicago "Boat Like a Local" Update -

I received a reply for the cruise organizer

One boat can take a maximum of 30 people and tours typically last about 90 minutes. If it is private, they can organize it at any time of our preference. The normal cost is 17 euro, but with full private boats the price may be a little cheaper.

If you're interested in getting on the list PM me.. We'll shot for filling one boat on the 15th and we talk discuss more if there is interest.

They supply one beer, wine, or soda... but you can bring anything.

Adults only?

myoung321

Well if it's "Smoker Friendly" I would say Adults only...

i recently found a somewhat reasonably priced flight from NYC and would love to make these shows number 85 and 86 for me.

Anyone who may have an extra tenclub ticket I would be more than happy to reimburse u for the costs and buy your Heineken's all night and/or share the bakables I get from the Dampkerring and the Grey Area.
