I'll pm you my local # as soon as I get there, and let you know if it receives texts (he said it is an old phone), but just in case, the plan is Thur Dec 15, ~11p @ Voyagers, and Fri Dec 16, ~930a @ Bluebird, 420p @ Basjoes!
Sounds good. I wrote all the times down because I have a tendency to space when I'm in the Dam...lol. I'm bringing an unlocked GSM phone too - where are you planning to go to get a SIM card? I saw a place near Dam Square called The Phone House - it's at Nieuwendijk 239. Hopefully I can just get some prepaid time to use when I'm there.

Hope you had a good flight Edgar. I'll see you at Voyager's on the 15th at around 10:45-11pm. I'll be wearing a red jacket.

The eagle has landed!!
Flight was delayed a little over an hour, but by mechanical issues, not weather. Thanks to a good tailwind, we made up most of the time in the air, and arrived only about 20 minutes late. Then there had been some issue this morning and all trains to/from schiphol were running about 10 minutes late. However, I am here, am a settled into the apartment, and I am about to go for my first exploration!! See you Thursday night. Depending on what the forecast for Paris looks like, I will either be wearing a black leather jacket, or a black Phish hoodie.
