Kolksteeg 3, 1012 Binnenstad, The Netherlands (Map & Directions)
I am an American PhD student now studying in Leuven for the next four years and I'm wondering if there is anyone interested in a Metafilter meetup. I'm not really sure what I have in mind but we could always go out for drinks or something if we can't think of anything.
I figured that finding a pile of mefites in Leuven might be a bit of a stretch, so I'm thinking Brussels would be a good compromise to gather Belgian mefites if nothing else.

I seem to recall that there are definitely some mefites in Belgium. But the chance that they check IRL is slim since there are hardly ever IRL meetups. (Which is a self reinforcing situation obviously)

I wouldn't mind going to a meetup in Brussels even if I'm in Amsterdam; haven't been there for ages and I can always visit the comics museum too.

I guess its looking like if we're going to have a Benelux meetup, Amsterdam would be a better consensus place. I'm going to be returning to the US for two weeks to handle visa stuff August 23rd so it would be best before then, and a weekend would also work a lot better for me.

A No-Squirrels-Allowed-But-There-Are-Swans venue: the IJ-Kantine.
It's downtown, not far from Central Station, in the harbor area. My nephew, who is way cooler and in-the-know than I am, tells me it's "gezelling", happening and has great food and beverages... But there are all kinds of other options/cuisines/neighborhoods - MartinWisse? Suggestions?

The IJ-Kantine sounds nice. But adds some 18 mins to the travel time.
Another option is beer pub In de Wildeman.

In de Wildeman tolerates MeFites so well that at least one has set part of his novel in it.

To be fair, my +1 will be the only tourist if he comes and as far as I can tell I'm the only expat; even together we'd only make a fourth of those planning to come.

I'll definitely be at the meet, but it would be useful to get an idea of head-count and maybe plan accordingly. The Wildeman can be a bit busy late Saturday afternoon.
Perhaps a better bet is to go the Bierfabriek instead. The beer isn't anything like as good (duh), but there's a lot more space.

Martin, I guess you're talking about Charlie? He's a fairly equal-opportunity drinker when he's here, and he'll happily spend time in the Beer Temple and Arendsnest as well. He's usually here for the Bockbierfestival.

daveje: agreed, In De Wildeman does indeed get pretty crowded over the weekend. Bierfabriek, on the other hand, has boring beer but there's plenty of space and the food is pretty nice.
BUT if somebody can grab the large table at the back of In De Wildeman's main bar, we can probably claim territory to seat around ten.

I'm the dutchman knile mentioned, but I'm not from anywhere near Amsterdam, so I'd be just as much a tourist as your average American. Although possibly slightly taller.
Would love to come but not sure if I can make it yet. I'll have to ask the girlfriend.

I'm not sure but I think the form for unborn children simply also requires copies of their passports, banking information and degrees, as well as proof that they do not carry TB, have financial backing, and acceptance into a registered university - each in triplicate.

And as far as shibboleth phrases go, "Scheveningen" is sort of traditional around these parts.

I'll be there probably 1730ish now, and I'll be wearing one of these.
And, IMHO, with Dutch it's not the trixy consonants in words like Scheveningen that show you up as a non-native speaker. It's the diphthongs we don't have in a lot of English dialects. I have to constantly think to pronounce Huis like it's supposed to be pronounced, not just say "House" like an American (I suspect the Brits have an easier time with this one). And keuken? I'll never pronounce that properly even though I'm always in it.
But I will happily let you laugh at me as I ask "Bent U ook een vriend van Matt? Hij komt uit Scheveningen...."

The different kinds of ou sounds do my head in, and you have to be really careful. There's a town called Voorhout near Leiden, and if you get the pronunciation wrong, it's the Dutch word for foreskin.

Ditto. I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to everyone - I had spent most of the day outside, and when it started getting late(ish) and the beers started to kick in I decided to head for the nearest tram stop.

Hottest damn day of the year. I don't know how we managed to last as long as we did... must have been the company.
And the beer. ;)
Photos up sometime tomorrow.

Lovely to meet you all, and sorry we had to leave so soon! Hopefully we'll do better next time.

Yesterday was good fun. Definitely looking forward to all the hypothetical future meetups across this great kingdom.

The Bodegraven bierfestival definitely sounds like a good idea.

Welp, I had to "reactivate" my Yahoo account so as to access my Flickr account so as to upload the photos. The process "can take up to 24 hours". Been checking on and on all day and no joy yet. So, no photos yet. It's my bedtime. Nightynite.

There's a link at the top of this page which allows you to upload photos here, if that's ok with people.

Digitalprimate: Never mind the info on eSigs; I ordered myself an eGo yesterday.
And I'm counting on it making me look even cooler than real cigarettes do.

I watched The Muppets the next day and was trying to remember if it had been Chris Cooper.
