I've had a chat with Pen and he had a few good things to think about.
I reckon he doesn't mind me posting this so here's a Quote from him;
Quote from: PenfoldOrganising a group party to somewhere like Amsterdamage is hard.
To start with you've got people on different budgets - so finding accommodation to suit everyone is hgoing to be hard. Some will be happy to share a dorm, some will want single rooms.
Then You've got the problem of the weed smokers and the alcohol drinkers - it's really one or the other in the DAM - AFAIAA you can't really do both in the same place unless you go to some real grim tourist places like The Grasshopper / Bulldog.
You've got an issue over 'entertainment'. Whilst the red light district is fascinating, you've also got some clubbers in the mix - so you're going to need to balance up clubs vs red lights.
Finally you have the day-time stuff. Not really a problem as most people I guess will be happy with canal trips etc. Some may want to go to the Rijks/Modern Art/Palace. Some may want the Diamond factory tours etc.
Managing the expectations of a small group is hard - to try and do it with like 20 people is going to be nigh on impossible.
I reckon we shouldn't do to much in this weekend. But use the votes on the stuff you'd think would be suitable for a group of around 20 guys for a good weekend. Organising this and telling people what to do/don't isn't really my thing. I'm just up for a good time.
If you want to go to the "normal" museums then post this with a reply here.
Cheers for voting, Pete a.k.a. -=[dMw]=-DuVeL
changing it to multiple choise was a great move :)
since i had to choose 1 of 4, now its more informatic.
That was just for accommodation. Could have done that Multiple Choice aswell. But decided this was better.
Cheers to BB for saying how to put the poll up correctly.
Also; ***BUMP***
Eep so many choices so little time :woot2: .
Just saw this now..
As I've been to the dam a couple of times I have a usual routine but Pen and Duvel are right: You can't do too much in a three day weekend.
Day one, you'll arrive mid-day, check in, and then head out somewhere. Usually a tour or a cruise will get you through to the evening. don't forget that at some point you will have to eat. If that's 10+ people in a group this could take some time..
For the clubbers and the tokers it's no problem as clubs are open until 3 or 4 at least.
The next day you'll be burnt out most likely and you'll want to chill until after lunch.. This will eat into your day.. Boom Chicago I believe starts around 8:30. They do deals for large groups including dinner so if there's enough of us it's a good way to start the night. Then it's off to the clubs...
The last day will be slow.. don't plan on anything much except consuming the rest of your drugs and headding to the airport..
Anymore suggestions/tips/votes here?
Otherwise we have a pretty clear result.
Definatly; Coffee-Shop/Bar (this can be well sorted with a strawl along the RedLight District). Heineken brewery tour and Boom Chicago seem good to go aswell (which can be fit in a nice plan aswell).
Still I don't want to plan to much for the weekend as I reckon most time will spent in a bar and so.

I like the outcome. And also the idea of having some room in the schedule to manoeuvre if we are having fun at a bar somewhere...
Exactly!
Lol, you really, really want to visit the dam don't you Delan? :norty:

I have had no Holiday in a year, I missed the last LAN so I get a chance to see you fellas, and even in Amsterdam - so hell yeah!
Just noticed this poll :)
I've heard evil rumors that amsterdam is going to go through a major makeover during this summer, turning RLD and the coffee shops into a more fashionable café/tourist area..
So if it haven't started by then, it will be the last chance for people to experience those..
EDIT: oh and btw.. Madam Tussaud = €20, Sex museum = €3
I've been to Dam once before, I think I was about 10 and all I remember was poppies :doh: Well water too for some reason - hmmm
Any ideas when this might happen?
