Dear Fellow-Fans.

We have been talking for awhile now in our Virtual Venice Cafe, the place where people who visit the forum can have a chat and most importantly, have a drink without getting drunk.

We have been dancing to all kinds of imaginary music and it is fun, but wouldn't it be more fun to do it in real life sometime?
Sunny and I first started talking about this, first in a funny mood, later more seriously. And we want you to join us.

The plan is to meet in a more central place, like Utrecht. A date is something we have to work out with whom ever wants to come along. Suggestions are welcome!

And now while I got your attention: Lets give a hand to our Su2000, who got the genius idea to start a Cafe!

:up:

Many Greetings

Jolanda

Yeah!:cool:

We're talking about Venice fans coming together in a bar or a dance-place, where we can get together for real and have some fun together.

Don't think you're too old or too young!

Just come!:) :)

Yeah!! I would love to come! Utrecht would be good! It's an one hour drive for me. I can't drink, 'cause i have to drive, but i don't care! It will be so much fun! Just pic a date and let's party:cool:

And indeed a big:clap: :clap: for su2000!

Great idea! I'd suggest to all come to my mom's place but that's in Sittard.

I'd love to come to Utrecht aswell and if I can get a babysitter my husband will probably come with me. (He's not on the board but also a big Venice fan.)

I'm in!

Miriam:up: :wave:

Love the idea!!
If I'm not away on business, I'll be there!!

Didn't see them at the VVC often ;)

he, as long as they're there, we can do the talking!
:talktalk:

...and they could ...:sing:

Hey !!! How about the Guys ?!?!?!

I would really like to meet you all.

Maybe sometime in the near future ?!?!?!

:cool: :wave: :ladiesman :D :D :D

Su2000
11-26-2002, 11:11 PM
Guys? What guys? :D

If you want to meet us, Craig, come to Holland on your next holiday!
Or you can have a cup of coffee with me in your own country.

Bye!
Susan

Marion
11-26-2002, 11:55 PM
guys?????????:shocked:
I think most of us here are of the female sort!!;)

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 02:06 AM
:D Craig, if you want to join us, just get your Dockers on the first plain and :beer: :D

Never expected this thread to be so succesfull. I'm so very happy so many people of VeniceTalk want to take part in this! This will be so much fun!

And so let me open a new discussion: are we willing, or capable, to do this before Hardenberg, or does anyone want to wait untill all the "Venice-Vestifities" are over? And do you guys want to go on a Saturday or a Sunday? That may be important for those who work on these days. (:) )

Think about it and let me know.

Don't let this next step in the process of going out, stop anyone from joining in. The deadline's when the real cafe turns off the music, puts the lights on and kicks us out.:D

I would prefer a Saturday, because I want to sleep late the next day!
:D
How about Saturday the 14th? Just a thought....

:beer:

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 02:24 AM
Saturday the 14th? Hmmmm, sounds fine by me.

Anyone else?:wave:

Andrea Lagro
11-27-2002, 03:38 AM
14th of December... Will write that down in my agenda!! Good idea. Anyone decided on a place to meet yet? Hell of a drive for me. Can't get drunk then. Need to think of a place to stay somewhere, but would love to come!! Will we start early? End of afternoon? Tell me more, tell me more!!

December 14th,

Sorry I cann't make it, so I wont be there :mad:
O well girls have fun and maybe I see some of you in Tivoli.

:wave:

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 03:47 AM
Hi all,

Utrecht will be the most central place, but that's just my opinion, any other suggestions are welcome. And to be honoust, traveling from Volendam to Utrecht and back again doesn't sound appealing to me either. (Picture this: me, 21, on Utrecht Central station, all alone.. :eek: :( ), so I'm considering staying there overnight. So if anyone is capable to do so also, remember you're probably not the only one.

Jolanda

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 03:50 AM
It's not a definate date yet, Karin! There's room for more suggestions! It would be ashame when you can't be there!

Greets Jolanda

conny
11-27-2002, 04:05 AM
i can`t make it the 14 th either

:wave: conny

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 04:10 AM
So we have to arrange another date then. No problem, let's just hear some other options..:wave:

Andrea Lagro
11-27-2002, 05:50 AM
Hey by the way... A little bird whispered in my ear that there is a chance that there might be someone special in your life? How about it? It is not the Spoon, is it? :D :D Or is it too new and too special and too private to tell us? Curious.... Just "fishing" for some news....

Marina
11-27-2002, 08:05 AM
Off topic Andrea!
(just a reminder...)

Marina
11-27-2002, 08:06 AM
If not the 14th... what about a week later.. the 21st??
M

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 08:33 AM
The 21st is oke by me too! Hmmm... in fact, every date is fine by me...:D Does this mean I don't have a life?rotfl Naaahhh... not true.:D

So people, the 21st has been laid on the table. Thoughts and replies please!:)

kaja
11-27-2002, 08:38 AM
21th will be ok with me.

I was thinking we've got an ouzerie down here in Utrecht, that would give us all a chance to talk and drink and eat together, maybe that'll be an idea :confused:

If so I can make the reservation, if not any other idea's?

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 08:42 AM
That would be a great idea, Karin!! Because you live in Utrecht, you probably know the best places to go, and I think this idea will have a good response from the rest. (I'm gonna stop talking now :p )

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 08:50 AM
No wait, I can't stop talking, because I don't think I can make it on the 21st! :( :( :( It's the weekend before christmas and we work through the nights in order to be ready on the christmas- shopping days! :( :( Oh no.... but if the 21st isn't a problem on anyone else, just go! Have fun, because I'm gonna see some of you at Hardenberg anyway. Bummer.....

Marina
11-27-2002, 10:26 AM
No way girl! :nono:
Don't give up that soon!
Any other suggestions?

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 11:01 AM
I'm getting the sneaky suspicion this will happen after the holidays...

Marina
11-27-2002, 11:02 AM
I don't mind.....;)
M

conny
11-27-2002, 11:09 AM
21st isn`t a good date fot me either.
Maybe it is indeed a better idea to do it after the holiday,than we can also have a concert reunion and share memories.

:wave: conny

Jolanda Z.
11-27-2002, 11:15 AM
You're right, Conny. :up:

:lecture: Ladies and gents, the replies on this subject will be delayed until a more appropriat time. :)

Craig
11-27-2002, 06:32 PM
OK ladies, I'll throw on my Docker's, grab der wienerhund, jump on my "private Leer-Jet" and meet you all in about, ohhh, say, a few hours :ladiesman :surprise: :D

Goodmorning! I love the idea of a reunion! I agree to do it after the holiday, i'm having 3 party's in December!:cool:

And Jolanda, i'm thinking about staying over night too, 'cause i don't like the idea to be on the station alone either. And when i take my car, i'm not able to have a drink:( . But i will see what i'm going to do when we have picked a date. Well, the most of us will see each other in Tivoli or in Hardeberg(i can't come to Hardeberg:( ) so we will have our party there first!:beer: And Graig, you're welcome to visit our country anytime:D

Su2000
11-28-2002, 12:30 AM
Good idea, girls!

So let's not forget to bring our agendas to Hardenberg then!

Hey Craig, I think you took the wrong plane. The Netherlands is not in Norway, did you know that?

:D

Su:wave:

kaja
11-28-2002, 01:39 AM
Keep the agendas right here on the forum I would say, just for those who cann't make it to Utrecht or Hardenberg. :(

But planning a reunion after the shows is the best thing to do,
a bit more to talk about ;) as if we need that :D :D :D

sunchild
11-28-2002, 03:39 AM
Hi all,

I think bringing agenda's to concerts is a pretty good idea anyway. There's going to a bunch of us at almost every concert. Suggestions brought up at every concert can be taken to the next et cetera. Think human chain...
I'm pretty sure we can come up with some good suggestions this way, and I really would like to say this doesn't have to be a one time event. I' would like to think of this as the beginning of a new way to get together as Venice fans and friends.:)

Sunny:p

kaja
11-28-2002, 03:46 AM
I've got a problem then :eek:
My agenda is to big for my handbag, so I try to avoid it:D :D

But a start of .................. is GREAT Sunny

Hey Su

That is just some of my limited German "squeeking" through...
I understand much more than I can speak :D :D :D


To All: As soon as I can manage it, I will definately come over to visit my Dutchie Venice Buddies !!! :cool: :wave: :beer:

sunchild
11-28-2002, 08:18 AM
We'll organise an off-forum get together for the occasion, Craig.
We are all looking forward to it!:D

Now,

Who else is coming?

kaja
11-28-2002, 08:19 AM
GREAT Craig,

And you'll join us on the reunion, you will hear us :talktalk: so keep your agenda near by as we set a date :D

MirKiVa
11-28-2002, 11:02 AM
Yes Craig, as we all won't be able to come to the Belly Up (I'm guessing not one of us is) we would love it to see you overhere!
So keep your agenda close! :cool: :beer:

I'm in if I can make it, but I agree....after the hollidays please! And I guess it would be a good idea to sleep over in Utrecht aswell. Sittard is about 2 hours away I guess.

By the way, does anyone know a (not to expensive) hotel near Tivoli? I think it would be nice to spend the night there after the concert.

Miriam

By the way, for the dutchies among us, Lia opened a thread on the dutch forum (off topic ofcourse) to organise a "borrel" in Sittard. So if you're interested, check it out!

for your information Craig, it's the same idea as we had for Utrecht, so you're welcome too!!! :D rotfl (everybody is ofcourse!)

It's been a while since we last talked about coming together and meeting each other in a real cafe..

So how about it??

Are we all still interested??

Any suggestions for a date?

Jolanda Z.
01-28-2003, 02:12 PM
Yup! Hope everybody had nice holidays, nice newyear, great concerts, buttons on time, yada, yada, yada....

01-29-2003, 08:39 AM
My suggestion wouldd be to organise this in the heart of our country.. a place where most trains pass through... sounds like Utrecht to me..

Marina
01-29-2003, 08:50 AM
Good idea!

kaja

01-30-2003, 07:06 AM
8th is fine with me, but on the 15th i'm having a birthday party from one of the foster childs who live at my parents-in-law.And she would be so disappionted if i'm not comming to her party. But if you all want to go on the 15th, that's ok with me. There's always someone who can't come, i guess. Not that i don't want to go! I'd would be so much fun! Maybe another date at the end of Februari?

Danielle

Marina
01-30-2003, 08:47 AM
End of Feb, or the 8th would be fine for me, 15th is not that good.
Loads of birthdays in March....

what about the 14th?
Off forum meeting on valentines day?

conny
01-30-2003, 10:09 AM
yess Spoon,my youngest dog Sifra is pregnant and if everything goes right she will have puppies around the 23 of march.

I`m not so for a meeting on fryday,end of the week i`m mostly very tired.

14 Feb or 8 Mrt is fine!

Jolanda Z.
01-31-2003, 07:47 AM
I think we all agree on Utrecht, like we did before. Karin had this great idea of a nice place where we can sit down and eat (:beer: ), so that's gonna be great. I'm all for the dates that has been set here, and I hope everyone wants, and is able to, come.

14 feb. is ok with me.
Nice day to have our drinks and chats girls:p

Jolanda Z.
01-31-2003, 09:37 AM
But I can't spend the night in Utrecht, though. I have to work the other day, because one of collegues is off that day AND I have a party with work-people afterwards.:cool:

So I have to go home rather early. :( Oh yeah, Oh Well....

danielle
01-31-2003, 09:39 AM
I have to work from 16:00 'till 22:00 on the 14th:( But if thats going to be the date and i know this the upcoming week, then maybe i can exchange my shift for an early one or exchange with another day. Please let me know this soon enough, 'cause i realy like to come!

Danielle

danielle
02-03-2003, 02:46 AM
Well, i still haven't heard a date, is it going to be the 14th, if so than i have to try and exchange my shift! If we can't settle for a date on short notice, maybe we should plan something in March or april? It's just an idea?! But if you all want to plan something in februari, than please settle for a date.

Dani

conny
02-03-2003, 03:10 AM
the dates on wich i`m free are februari 22,march 1,8 and 15

oeps wrong topic :o

sorry

Marina
02-03-2003, 10:38 AM
Maybe we should try a date in April as Danielle suggested, and hopefully as many people as possible can work it into their schedules?
M

Jolanda Z.
02-03-2003, 10:57 AM
That might be a good idea too. Some people are on holidays or the 14th is too short of a notice. Which is perfectly fine by the way, and so I think we have to think about a new date. In April.

What about....the...5th?

By the way, I started a new topic about this at the Dutch Forum. In the Off-topic section. For the Dutchies maybe somewhar easier.

Greets Jolanda

sunchild
02-04-2003, 03:52 AM
April 5 is good for me..:)

Marina
02-04-2003, 09:03 AM
April 5 is okay for me too!
M

danielle
02-04-2003, 09:45 AM
I think i can ask my new boss to not plan me for a shift on the 5th of April, so i think this date is fine with me, but i know Conny is not going to make it, goes her dog will have puppies.(am i right?) I gues it will always be a problem to settle for a date if you want all the people to come:( But maybe if this off forum thingie is going to a succes, we can settle for a date in the summer too?!(then we can arrange that barbeque we were talking about on the Dutch forum?:burger: :drink2: :guitar2: :D )

Dani

conny
02-04-2003, 10:52 AM
well you girls go fr the 5th than,but i won`t be there,cause the puppies are too young than to leave them with a sitter.

:wave: conny

danielle
02-05-2003, 12:37 AM
No Conny?:( Who will make all the pictures then?:D Just kiddin'! When will the puppies be big enough, Con? Oh, i wish i was more at home, so we could have dogs! We have 4 guinypigs, but you won't see me take a walk with them! I still can't find a collar that will fit:D

Dani

kaja
02-11-2003, 09:03 AM
I'm not sure I can make it the 5th of April.
There are a lot of problems at my work, so ..........
But i'll give it a try though, so keep you're fingers crossed girls.
btw is that ouzerie thing still going on or are we just talking about a visit to a pub or cafe?


:wave:

Jolanda Z.
02-11-2003, 01:20 PM
Well, I think the ouzerie is a good idea. So we can eat something too, if that's ok with everybody that is!
Karin, try, try, try, try to make it!:(

MirKiVa
02-12-2003, 02:17 AM
Hi guys, borrowing my moms computer...mine is still broke :mad:
April 5th is okay for me too! But...what's ouzerie??? (or is this a very stupid question?) :confused:

Miriam :wave:

Jolanda Z.
02-12-2003, 02:23 AM
Hai Miriam, it's nice to see you again! :wave: Hope everything's ok with you!

An ouzerie is a place where we can eat and drink something afterwards. But for a more detailed discribtion you have to turn to Karin. It was her idea. :D :p ;) Great you can make it!

Greets!:wave: Jolanda

MirKiVa
02-12-2003, 02:28 AM
Thanks for explaining Jo!
I'm doing great except for my computer being broke....:(
We're looking for a (cheap) new one so....I'll have to borrow my moms for a while. How are you doing???

:wave: Miriam

kaja
02-13-2003, 05:21 AM
Hey Miriam,

An oezerie is a place where you get together and have something to eat and drink. In the meanwhile, you can chit-chat as much as you want.
It's a Greek thing, something like a tapaz-bar which is Spanish.
The food is great.
So if we know how many of us are going, I'll make the reservations, If you all agree that is:D

:wave:

sunchild
02-13-2003, 05:47 AM
Sunny agrees:p

Everybody come!!

MirKiVa
02-16-2003, 04:04 AM
Me too!!! Sounds great!! And Peter will come too (if that's okay with you guys.. :D )
We want to bring our caravan so we won't have to drive home...can you mail me if there's a nice (not to expensive) camping in the area???
Thanks!!! See you soon!



:wave: Miriam

Helga van Beers
02-16-2003, 08:24 AM
It's quite early in the year to camp Miriam, kind of cold :(
Are you sure? A hotel is much more comfortable :)
Or do you plan to drink so much that you won't feel the cold? ;)

BTW: I can't help you with this I'm afraid, don't know any campings in that area. Good luck!

Helga

danielle
02-16-2003, 01:00 PM
Miriam, if you drink Jagermeister you won't feel the cold! Trust me, i know what i'm talking about:D

Dani

MirKiVa
02-21-2003, 01:14 AM
Hahaha.....well we'll drink a lot to keep warm...we can keep eachother warm and besides...we have a heater in our caravan.
Evelien's birthday is on April 7th. Last year we could sit outside....the weather was fantastic!!! So we have hope for this year too.... Thanks for worrying though! We'll see when it's April, if the weather is really bad we can always go to a hotel.

:wave: Miriam

Helga van Beers
02-21-2003, 04:18 PM
Hey, that's funny! My youngest son Floris celebrates his birthday on April the 7th too. He's turning 11 that day. Wow, big guy!
Still, can you make it on the 5th? Will be a busy weekend though.

Helga

kaja
02-22-2003, 10:00 PM
Hey Miriam,

About a camping in the area, maybe you can mail me about is so I can see what I can do for you ok?

We'll have another nice day down here, it's time for a nice day out girls.
See you





:wave:

MirKiVa
02-26-2003, 01:42 AM
Funny Helga that April 7th is your sons birthday also! Evelien will be 2 this year....it's a few years between them...'
We'll be able to make it the 5th. We'll celebrate her birthday on monday so that won't be a problem I think. Friday is my day off so I can do most of the shopping then and I will get the "vlaai"

Hi all,

a dissapointment after all my vacation-fun to read that the forummeeting this Saturday is cancelled. I haven't seen another date pass the table, so for the record: I can't join you mid/end May and June, because of the new herring-season.

But wether it will be a BBQ at Miety's or partying at Miriam's, have lots of fun and take A LOT OF pics!:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Jo.:wave:

Hi Jo,
Nice to see you're back home safe!Didn't break anything? :biggrin: Did you have a good vacation?

Too bad you can't join us in May/June. We haven't set a date yet, so we'll let you know anyway. You never know. ;)
But if it's nice it won't be the last time so....

Going to the bar now...are you in? And joining me there?

:wave: Miriam

Hey everyone!
We were talking about this meeting and Miety would love to have us all over for a BBQ! (or at least as much of us that fit in her garden...:biggrin: ;) ) So...instead of going out for a drink...Miety invited us to her home. :up:
We looked at our agenda's to get a date and we hope that you can all come on that one. Otherwise we have to start looking for another one. :)

What about: May 24th. (late afternoon/beginning of the evening) ?

Miety will order all the food and will do the shopping. We just have to pay for it. All we need to bring (besides that money :biggrin: ) is a good mood!!! But hey...that won't be so difficult will it? ;) :biggrin: rotfl (after all these May concerts!)

So...how about it guys! Let's give it another try and organise a Virtual Venice Cafe Off Forum Meeting!!

:wave:
Miety and Miriam

So far this date looks good to me too, at least better than tonight. :biggrin:
So sorry to hear that May/June is difficult for you Jo, can't you leave those herrings alone for one night? They're already dead anyway .... http://smilies.crowd9.com/otn/animals/bablefish.gif
Well, we'll see. Keep us informed Miriam and Miety, great plan BTW!

No, it's a strange thing..When I'm not there, they look around in desperation and fear. They only want to "skinned" by me. :confused:
So cannot leave them and miss the BIG bucks.:)

Would love to see you all at the BBQ, but I cannot tell you if I'm gonna make it...we'll be back from our holiday just before the planned date, so if you don't mind...can I let you know just a couple of days in advance?:confused:

Hi all!

To all the people who are going to the meeting tommorrow: have a ton of fun!

So oke, the last instructions:
- Helga: Going to this crazy bunch who are going to eat and drink all day and still sticking to your glass of water, is something to be mentioned. You're the best!
- Miriam: Don't forget the Junior cd. Your wine-limit is raised to 3 glasses. Don't get used to it. Only for this occasion.
- Peter: Drive safely. Don't forget the kids. Make sure Miriam brings the Junior cd. Bring your camera to capture Karin's new hair.
- Karin: Bring the hair.
- Sunny: bring the sunshine. Have fun.:)
- Conny: Keep an eye on the puppy. Miriam tends to steal when drinking.
- Miety: good luck on hosting this insainly fun gathering.
- Frits: Don't know you, but I know these people. May the force be with you.

No, I'm just pulling your legs.;) ;) :p:

Hope I didn't forget anyone. But still: have fun and hope to be there next time.

And I hope to see some of you Sunday in Volendam, if you get the chance.

Love to all,

Jo.

HEY!!! Why is my name coming up so often when wine is envolved??? NOT FAIR!!!
And!!! I don't steal when I drink.....just tend to borrow things! :biggrin: :biggrin: ;)

(and I will definatly borrow my dad's camera to steal a pic of Karin's hair!! rotfl )

Sorry you won't be there Jo!! But...we'll see you soon, I'm sure!!
:p: :p: Miriam

05-23-2003, 11:26 AM
I am gonna miss you too. I really wanted to be there. :( :(

I already started the good work. During your BBQ, I have the whole evening planned out. I'm planning to post the whole evening in the sea with my fishingnet. To get an headstart on storing food for the next meeting. Need all the jumpstarts I can get with all the hungry Venice-people.;)

Helga van Beers
05-23-2003, 11:11 PM
Hey Jo, thanks for all the good advice! rotfl rotfl rotfl
I sure hope Frits finds that force in time. :biggrin:

There's something sh*tty about this day, I have the flew (started on thursday) and I'm doubting whether I can go. Was sick all yesterday, brrrr, had a fever and all, but I want to go so badly. So I'm trying to ignore that feeling in my back, head, ears and throat and join you guys anyway. Hope I'm not going to make you sick as well. :(

Sure hope to be there, I have to decide in a couple of hours when Frans is back from a soccer match with Floris and I'm supposed to drive off. Gonna take some aspirins till then.
bye,
Helga

Fever is in the air, Helga:( Last week i had it :mad:and couldn't work. But missin' the BBQ by being ill is much more worst.So taking those aspirines is the only thing to do. Hope you get well on time ;) And as for the rest of you Forum addicts:biggrin: Behave and have fun!

Greetz,
Daan

I hope you will be there after all Helga!!! Maybe some juice instead of water will give you the extra vitamines you need!!

Well....we're ready I guess. Our caravan looks like a Venice banner!! So everybody looking at us on the way from Sittard to Hilversum will get to know Venice and hopefully check out Venice Central!! :biggrin: :biggrin: ;)

See you all later at the BBQ and for those who won't be there....pics and review will be here next week!

Hey you all...............

I heard a rumor going on, there's a meeting off forum :confused:
Did you already set a date?
Can I join?
As a suggestion Volendam would be a nice place I would say and the date............uhm how about early July just before the School Holidays starts :biggrin:

Let me know will you?


:wave:

Jolanda Z.
05-25-2003, 08:36 AM
Volendam a nice place? Tssss! Hell no! Who told you that? Ohhhhhh, wait a minute! I bet it was Miriam. It was Miriam wasn't it???:biggrin: ;)

Maybe, perhaps, who knows..But what I cán tell you is that it won't be in July.:)

Love, Jo.
