Re: The Gram Tour, June 13-16

After eventually meeting up with pirate in schiphol we caught the train to centraal which, imo, is home to one of the best views you can get on exiting a train station. Promptly located the hotel, got to check in early (result), and rushed to the nearest acme fast food place to fill our travel weary...

Re: The Gram Tour, June 13-16

Made it to the plane just in time, queues in Bristol airport security were significant but orderly. Roll on arrival in Amsterdam.
Here’s a little titbit of Welsh language for you: The Neatherlands in Welsh is Yr Iseldiroedd (err-eesell-deeroith). Literal translation is The Lowlands.

Re: The Gram Tour, June 13-16

Hey HitTheNorth, They currently have some of his work on display at the Moco Museum along with Andy Warhol and Banksy! I'll definitely be making the trip there, even if its solo.

The Gram Tour, June 13-16

Myself and a few of my dearest paisanos will be converging on the ancient 'Dam in a few days time. We intend to explore many coffeeshops and their offerings but the trip would not be complete IMO without also sampling some good eats, beautiful sights, and some culture in the form of art and music. O...

I like The Chats, Tropical F*ck Storm and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard on the subject of aussie bands. Hope you have a blast.. might have to go ...
