Me and ?  Saw the boys at The Paradiso in 2011.  The place is f'ing magical. Huge, old, stain glass windows in background. All GA.  Get there 10 minutes before hand and you can stand on the rail directly above them while having immediate access to the bar behind you.  The place just feels like At Dawn was recorded there.  Can't wait to get back!

I'm there as well. One of my favorite venues in Europe. Always coming back there for shows. Used to be an old church, acoustic is great, got the old balcony upstairs, good view like everywhere.

Waiting to be back :)

We need to sort out a place to preheat.  Somewhere in Liedensplein would be good. It's close to Paradiso.  Last time I saw 'em there I remember being at a bar where you could see the Paradiso from its front steps, or close thereto, so as to keep an eye on the line.  If anyone has a suggestion, set it free. 

Yeah, I'm fully aware in getting ahead of myself here, but I'm pretty pumped about this trek.

It's never too early to start making pre show plans or getting pumped for a Jacket show!    :thumbsup: :beer:

Sweet!  Now, get Erica to join you!
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

Just signed up to the board to see who's going.  I planned a Euro trip back in February and then MMJ ends up playing in the Netherlands while I'm there (9/10 - 9/14), so I'm hitting the Paradiso show and the Groningen show.  The Paradiso show will be my first MMJ show (I've heard a lot of their stuff and dig it, but haven't seen them in concert yet).  Looking forward to the shows and meeting up with some of you peeps.  I too am coming from the Philly area (Lehigh Valley) Cheers!

somehow convinced my wife to let me go, just need to find a cheap train ticket first. 

we are moving back to the states a month after the show and I have been selling our earthly possessions like I am joining a monastery.

if i remember correctly, there is a coffee shop (noon..?) behind the rijksmuseum; which i believe would be within a block (or so) of paradiso.  i have bought coffee there and elsewhere, but if i go in to borrow a coffee mug, i will buy a spacecake for their generosity.   

edit: should include i am (now) officially going to the show.

Sounds like a plan.  I like coffee... :cool:

so damn excited for this show!!!

Tomer

We all like coffee...

There's also a nice bagel place right on the side of The Paradiso. I always seat there before shows, you can watch the queue :)

Will be joining as always - have a group of 4 coming and can't wait.

Great place to warm up would be The Watehole (and just a stone throw away from Leidseplein\Paradiso).  Would be fun to have a drink\smokey smoke with some fellow Jacketeers.  Peace everyone.

PSA: coffee and alcohol cannot be served in the same establishment...knowledge is power.
