That information is very incorrect AFAIK, lobster and me have been there in the middle of the bloody day!

You will also recognise us quite easily, I recognesed lobster right away when I saw him walking at Utrect Centraal, even though he was wearing huge ass sun glasses ;), just look for the fat guy ;) :P. (He's not that fat though, more like properly build :P).

And I'll try to be at Kafé België at 1400 too, I hope I can find it on my own though, last time lobster took me on the tourist tour on our way to it ;).

We (as in, LANing people) decided to meet at the meeting point in Utrecht Centraal (klappertjesbord or something) at around 1400. We can walk to Kafé België together then, and maybe even get lost together. This way we can meet up with the railway museum people too before we are at Kafé België.

Don't know if anyone will still read this, but to confirm: Somewhere after 10 a clock platform 9b! The train leaves at 10:48. If all goes well, my train arrives at Utrecht Centraal around 10:12. I don't know how you all look like though, could be fun :)

I've read your post vloris!
I won't be there to greet you at that time, but you can at least rest assured that someone took notice of your message to the world.

I think I'll be in the train arriving at 13:37 (because I am, in fact, 1337) or (more likely) the train arriving at 13:55.
I shall attempt to make my way to the café on my own.
If I fail horribly I can either bother our favorite shellfish, or I can just speak in a german accent and ask random people for directions :))
The whole confused foreigner trick worked wonders abroad when I tried to get to Birmingham, so why not use it in my own country?

I wouldn't mind. If you have any photos or video, I could include them in a small segment in my main TT meet film, if you people wouldn't mind. :)

First I went with Purno to the railway museum. I don't want to spam you with photos of that, so I only post this beautiful picture of the Blauwe Engel on the outdoor part of the museum.

Hmm, my name is spelled Xeryus ;).

And a list of people who were there (in no particular order):
Purno
lobster
GoneWacko
Bastiaan
Hyronymus
XeryusTC

People who we missed (if you're not in it you're either not important enough or we didn't remember that you would come):
Vloris
Spaceman-Spiff


It was quality nice, we should do this again soon, maybe in the winter and go somewhere else than Kafé België, although it was a nice place to be meeting :).
