Utrech 1.0 (NL 3.0)
Michael The Roach Janszen
On Saturday, March 1st, the long-dreaded time had come. It was time
for Utrecht 1.0
But first, my impressions of the day.
Work. Helping customers calling on the phone.
1255: What, another one? Well, if I get him done in five...
1315: Yes Sir, I will write that letter on Monday. Good day. Phew.
Now...
1330: What do I need for tomorrow? Shopping isn't easy when half of
Nijmegen is doing it simultaneously.
1400: OK. I wanna leave about 1500. Can I... dare I... well, just
check afp and email in five minutes...
1430: Sheesh! Let's get into the shower and dressed...
1500: OK, so far so good, now I need the address... what's this in my
e-mail?
1530: Gone at last.
1630: So this is Utrecht? Looks even more Merking than Nijmegen. How
do I get to the center and the station?... There's a map of the
city... figures, twop blocks straight ahead... now let me find a
parking lot...
1645: Let's turn left here, maybe a parking space... Oh no, some
german tourists, and they saw my license plate is Germ(an), too? Yes,
nice to meet you here. Yes, I'm German, too. See ya guys... Sometimes
I feel ashamed for being German
1655: So here's the inn where we should meet. Anyone in yet? No.
Doesn't look like any afp in there. a catholic priest, maybe, talking
to a guy in a black T-Shirt. No afp, though. Let's look at what is in
the neighbourhood...
1710: Still no change in the King Arthur. The guy in the black T-Shirt
is smoking a pipe. Well, maybe he can tell me...
It was TimT, and when he told me I finally saw the front of the
T-Shirt, "Murders you can hum to... Masquerade".
Now for a slightly more formal way of relating events:
People there:
TimT
Alfonso (a friend of TimTs, the one I mistook for a priest...)
Jeroen Metselaar
Jos Dingjaan
Jeroen Burger
Marc Oldenhof
Leo Breebart
Cybercat
Jeremy Stark
The Roach (yours truly)
missing with excuses: Alan Conell and Ton de Mulder
AWOL: Noone we were aware of
As you can see, there was one thing positive and one thing negative
about the meet. The first time ever, a Dutch afpmeet had more Dutch
visitors than foreigners (positive). Negative: There was noone there
to flirt at :-(
Jeremy came in late, he had been watching (listening?) to the
France-England Rugby match before. For those interested: France won
23-20 or something. At that time conversation switched from Dutch to
English, much to the relief of a certain Roach who was fingered
(everyone pointed their fingers at me when the question came up:
Who'll do the report?) as reporter.
What did we talk about?
Guns, roundabouts and communism were discussed. Only the second topic
should recur on afp, it was generally agreed. Pterry was dicussed, as
was the 'what was your first book' and 'what else do you like to
rewad' threads. Advice for Newbies was handed out. Unfortunately,
there was no real Newbie available who'd get a clue ("Don't flame
ppint or you'll have the whole NG on your neck"). Engagements were
discussed. An RFD was proposed: no more RL engagements outside of afp
(which makes afp even more inbr^H^H^H^Hclose-knit). The lights in the
King Arthur's pub were marveled at (they tended to flicker more than
the candles on the table). Computer systems were discussed. So were
several posteres and ex-posters that were not there. A Dutch trip to
Bath was proposed. Finally, it was decided to go eat something, and in
completely un-afp-like fashion, the local McD and BK were disregarded
and a Chinese restaurant was chosen. Lots more information (custard at
the last DWCon, probable places for NL4.0...) was swapped, also
Muppets were discussed. Afdter that, the first people left for the
train, some went to 'George's', an Irish pub with decent Guinness and
not-so-decent music (especially with respect to volume) was visited.
On the way from there, I finally left the group.
2330: OK, I think my car is here somewhere...
2340: Hmm, maybe if I turn left here...
2350: Let's start this from the beginnning.
0003: How do I get out of Utrecht and onto the highway?
A few memorable quotes:
- Talking about the food: Anybody got anything against Chinese? Jos:
I'll murder for Chinese.
- We got the Chinese menus. "Ay vegetarians here?" - Leo (with a mad
gleam in his eye and a fitting pronunciation): Meat, Meat, Gimme Meat!
- the waitress showed up at the table while we were discussing quotes
for the report. TimT: Let's spread the responsibility. Ask the
waitress what her name is!
- All this talking in person makes me uneasy - Leo
- Six in the morning? Does that exist? I know 4 a.m. does exist... -
Jeremy
- Jos: Damerell of Borg. Jeremy: I refuse to assimilate you.
- What would really mess up afp would be TPerry writing a book with
the initials MMF or AFP - The roach (Hey, who put that one into my
notes?)
There surely were many more memorable quotes, but I didn't have the
hidden tape recorder working. Maybe next time.

You *hadn't*? Sheesh, and I've been carefull what to say all evening,
'cause I was expecting a complete report here on AFP, and I didn't want
to offend people <g>
Oh well, to summarize, we had a hell of a laugh, and I *think* NL 4.0
won't be too long...
Roach, thanks for taking notes and writing up this report!

Whoops... Don Alfonso will be tickled when he reads this.... A

Mick O'Connels.. I like the place, like the music, think it would be
great, If only they'd turn down the music. At one point, Jos
produced a leatherman. I should have called his bluff.

What The Roach forgot to say was that Tim also proposed a new kind off
casting thread . The question here is: Which off the AFP-ers would be most
fitting to play a mupper character. Any idea's?
Tim himself is perfect for animal (Wooooo--man!!!!!)
Tim also had a great idea for miss Piggy but alas I forgot her name [1]
I'd like to see myself as gonzo (guess why) and Jos dingjan allready clamed

Of course that's no disqualification, but I don't want him to get his
hopes up at the next AFPmeet. I might add at this point that I''m always
willing to serve as a, errm, somehow the term 'flirting-rod' doesn't
sound too appropriate... I can already see where this'll lead to:
"Thingjohnny the Flirting-Rod"...

maybe, I guess... Allright, I'll make this the foist inquijejie into NL

(excellent preparation for AFPcon '97)? I'm hoping for *lots* and *lots*
of people, not only Dutch, but hopefully from abroad, too. So, who's
interested? (It'll probably be something like Delft 1.0 or Leiden 1.0 or
something)

Well, when I first saw him, he really looked like a catholic priest in
civvies. Black jacket, black shirt, placidly smiling (but then he had
been listening to TimT for I dunno how long, so it might have been
mental fatigue setting in...)

Pthew! OK, lost that gag. Where are we? Oh, .ppint, in Dutch you 'eat
chinese' when you eat chinese food. Essentially, a style of something
often gets abbreviated by leaving out articles and the real subject,
you 'build flemish' (style buildings), 'eat chinese' (food, not kids),
and so forth. As this was done in English, though, it came over just
as quoted.

I believe I've just offered/been-volunteered-by-ppint <g> to organize NL
4.0. I'll restrict my options to Delft and Leiden 'tho, and the probable
date is june 28th (Jennifer Barber wrote she *might* be in the
Netherlands then, so maybe this/that time it wont be such a "scary
most-of-'em-are-Dutch AFP-NL-meet).

Amazing how often that happens - being volunteered, though not always

Well, if all the people show up that did this time, and The two MIAs
show up, too, there'll be 8 Dutch, 1 German, 1 Belgian, 2 Irish (I
think) and 1 English(?). That's still mostly Dutch...

Okay, okay, I *finally* see it... <fx: slaps forehead> (boy do I feel
stoopid). What I meant to say, what I meant to say was... "Hey Jude,
don't make it bad, take a sad song" [1] Sorry, that happens sometimes.
What I meant to say was "don't want to offend people" (well, I don't
want to offend some people. Others sometimes have it coming... But
offending AFPers..., only with *very* *veery* *veeeery* good reasons...
(or completely without intent))

Yep, but I guess there's lots of other people out there who want to go
to NL 4.0 (yeah, sure, y'all want that, we're nice people, friendly,
kind, etcetera, you all want to come to the Netherlands for NL 4.0,
..... pleeze ? .... ). And there *might* be a/some Merkin(s)
(Jennifer Barber posted that she'll be in Europe around that time).
And BTW, what's so scary about a Dutch-dominated NL-meet? Are we *that*
scary?

Now, Sarah, the way you word it... you're sorely tempting me... images
flash along... if I win the dress *and* the suit, and you have as
little money as you get... what are you gonna be wearing? :-)
Which court of justice do I have to go to to sue?

Do you really _want_ the dress? I only own one dress for nice
occasions. Crushed red blue and purple velvet with lace.. gosh, that
really sounds gothish. It isn't really.
(I could never go goth, my cheeks are too red, and I've got too many
freckles, and I've been told that I smile too much..)
>and you have as
>little money as you get... what are you gonna be wearing? :-)
Hopefully something warm.. I know that I live in Canada, and it's
supposed to be cold, but I think we've gotten the point. Snow in the
middle of March should be banned.
probably my overalls, at least they're comfy.
>Which court of justice do I have to go to to sue?
probably the court of afpeals.. but be warned, I have a brother in
law in law, and a sister in law.. so I could probably out-lawyer you.
(two lawyers in the family, and looking to add a third.. scary)

Oh, sorry, have a big *hug*.
If you look at the list of people that were there and re-count, you'll
see that I didn't exactly forget you, Ehh, no, ehh, you see, <fx:
frantically looking for the neerest exit> you are the one noted as '1
English(?)'. I just got... really!... I just got the name and didn't
match it up immediately, so I mistakenly... hey!... mistankenly lumped
you in with the Island people...
Now, would you please put that knife down? <fx: the sound of rapidly
retreating feet, together with what is left of the body...)

Oh. In *that* case, never mind. I rather like the idea that someone
could mistake me for a non-American. In fact, I wish I *were* one!
Besides, you've helped me a great deal with my theatre info search.... So
you're forgiven. :)
Feel free to make that same mistake again. :)
