As a mother and a christian, I must say it was highly entertaining. Also, amberglow isn't half as scary in real life…

It should be noted however that I'm not actually quite as blurry as I appear to be in those pictures. Still, good work on bringing the camera and on photoshopping out all the undesirables.

Wow, an ashtray in a bar. I used to want to live in Amsterdan because the beautiful and free hookers models give you all the hash you can carry away as part of their free and legal services (or so I heard, please don't disillusion me).

Now I want to live there so I can smoke a cigarette in public.

Oops, I meant s'mores.

S'mores are Dutch?

I'm guilty of the sin of never looking at the profile and thinking that amberglow was female (and named "Amber").

As a mother and a Christian, I must say the Americans sent an exquisite ambassador to the very appropriate De Engelbewaarder, where the Dutchies acted in a predictably exotic fashion. Fun, fun, fun!

Looks like you had great fun! I managed to finish my work(well almost, I only have print the stuff), so it was a wise decision to bail out. But now it's finished, there's nobody around to drink beers with... Next time I'll be there for sure! And thanks for the shout-out!

woohoo! my first shout-out! *dances around doing the traditional wooden shoe dance*

MeFites magullo, amberglow and prolific met up again tonight for a truly international meet including a couple from Israel and a Scotsman... in a Thai restaurant.

Been asked to pass on regards from amberglow... he's avoiding computers while on his Amsterdam break, but he'll share his generous self with you again upon return in New York, scheduled two days from now.
