Doing the clog dance

Who's doing the clog dance?
An in betweenie

The mystery invitation

The mystery meeting started with this Christmas 2004 email:

Hi PJ,

I have a question for you. Do you think Swanèt and you can visit xxxxx somewhere between January 8-and 14 for a mini-mini-mini-tiny VT-meeting????
Somebody really wants to meet you ;-O
Dom Tower Utrecht

On our way to xxxxx; no Utrecht!

So, after many more emails we were all set to go to xxxxx at January 8, but a sudden storm with force 10 winds postponed the trip.
OK, it took some calls and more emails to set the date at January 11.
Hamburgering

The meet

Why that date; just because the Vakantiebeurs was starting (for trade people and the press-only!!!! Ooops).
Swanèt went out early to meet the mystery VT-ers at Utrecht, just to receive a call upon arrival: "I'm still at xxxxx in my pyjamas!".
Never mind 2 hours later they got together at the Burger King (that's a clue).
O'Leary's Pub sign

To the Pub .......

Several bookshops were explored and than it was time to visit the Irish Pub at the mill: CLOSED!
Oudegracht (after P-ing)

P-DAY!!!

I had to work that day and arrived at 5.15PM. The party arrived half an hour late with a: "It's her fault!" (two ladies pointing to each other).
Just a matter of taking the wrong way and a biiiiiiiiig P-stop.
Who's that ....?

Dinner and after dinner

Finally we could enjoy a fast Chinese (is this hot? No, Babi Pangang is sweet. NOT!!!). I handed over traditional wooden shoes and we visited the Winkel van Sinkel.
Yes, 3 haringen!

The Herring eater

At the end we had to rush back and our train left with half a minute.
Our friends had some kind of mixup. In stead of arriving at xxxxx, they ended up in Tiel.

To the next meeting: AMSTERDAM
