Newgrounds | Amsterdam Meet 2009 | 03.05.09 - 03.08.09

And so it begins...

After a long overnight flight, I arrived to Amsterdam to meet the rest of the goons. Some of them flew in from London which was only an hour flight so I was slighty envious of the short ordeal it is for them to make it over. I could complain further but other folks came from even farther. You have Hans who flew all the way from California and you had fellow newcomer Gabriel who flew in from Brazil. Anyway, to kick things off we met up at some wierd checkered cube thing at the airport. It was hard to miss and probably a perfect meeting point. On with the photogz...

Flying into Amsterdaaam

This is that checkered cube I was telling you about. Hans and Luka were there because they had arrived on an earlier flight.

I'm looking at other flight schedules to make sure we have everyone who was supposed to arrive there before moving on. On the right of me are: Killerkb and Tom of the Super Flash Bros

Hans taking a smoke break while Kevin aka Killerkb watches him inhale tar.

Luka looks determined.

So after gathering the troops, Sophie aka BarbieGoesBad met up with us and escorted us into the city and to the flat.

A short train and tram ride later we arrived to the flat and hotel people were staying at. It was great that the hotel and flat were one block away. It was really annoying in the previous London meet to take a cab to meet up with the rest of the gang.

After settling in to the hotel and flat, we headed out to find something to eat before the happy hour later in the evening. Thats a Dutch bank of some sort, oh that's Scuzzfest on the right. You might recognize him from past london meets.

Yea we're definately in Amsterdam.

Luka takes a detour to some sex shop with some toys he was considering buying for later in the night.

We eventually found some steakhouse that had no waiting list so we went in there. It was kind of strangely decorated. It had a bunch of stuffed wildlife pretty much everywhere you looked. Good thing nobody was vegan I guess.

Cock Joke.

regularGabs at the steakhouse. He had actually been in Holland for a few days with Kenney

After the steakhouse, night had fallen and it was time to head over to the red light district area to a place called Belushi's where we were having a happy hour / Amsterdam kick-off.

On our way to Belushi's Scuzzfest noticed a poster that had 'Chicks with Dicks' showing over the weekend.
If you've ever played Pico's School you'd understand the reference to it.

We finally arrived to Belushi's fashionably late, birthday boy Dean was already there with his friend.

At Belushi's left to right: Luis, Vincoid(way in the back), AlmightyHans, Killerkb and SFB-Tom

ZOMG, NG Tank Award Nominee Catoblepas showed up. Luka cant contain his excitement.

Catoblepas was wearing a sweatshirt with the initials NG on the arm. Pics or it didnt happen.

Group photo: SFB - Tom, a very happy W-P-S, almightyHans, Killerkb, Kenney(above),

After Belushi's we left to a place called Pinochio's. We were the only ones there and they had drink specials running so it was good. Killerkb approves.

Something kinda cool was that the shots were in these mini bottles.
Anyways, Proost! (Cheers, in Dutch. Its pronounced prosst. Sorta.)

In the Pinochio smoking lounge, Hans doing some impressions.

Proost! again...

I look stupid in this picture.lmao

Drunk cam comes out. (For the record I didnt drink all those, it was just for the photo. I swearz)

Keepin the Pinochio bar in business.

Scuzzfest hits the deck.

As does Killerkb

The rest of these photos are both a mixture of people being drunk or bored. The Pinochio bar had these candles going on and we took turns taking pictures in an evil glow.
