It's 106 miles to Chicago.
We got a full tank of gas,
half a pack of cigarettes.
It's dark and we are wearing sunglasses

Oi...

Anyway. Buldog is a bit touristy indeed...
Sorry, you dont count. You're not one of the Heineken loving masses. Anyway, yeah the Bulldog is also a coffeeshop and not somewhere I wanna go before the gig.

I'll be there + a couple of mates. Flying tomorrow. 2 questions for the learned massif:

1) Any idea who, if anyone, is supporting at Melkweg?

2) Any plans for where to go AFTER? Any rec's for decent clubs or pubs very welcome.

Have a good un.

But I did live next to the Heineken factory for 3 years...

Anyway, opening for orbital in the melkweg is Japanese Popstars. Same as in the UK tour. Never heard of them, but they did get positive reviews from people here.

After the show, te melkweg continues with Kinch. A dance night with this time John Digweed as a special guest. So if that's your thing, you could stay at the melkweg :)

As for the meet up. I'm down for whatever. Would love to see some of you people again. A non-coffee shop place does have my preference, but if most people want to go to the bulldog I'll probably join you there.

Anyway, de Balie gets my vote. Big place, good beer. Close to the gig venue.

It seems the locals will be at De Balie around 1900.
