BTW: how's the weather forecast up there (especially for friday)? Rainy?

And then: I forgot every year (Draco knows how it feels getting older) what is the tram number from Vondelpark (and neighborouds, as it seems most of us are accomodate closeby) to the venue?
And don't answer to follow the mass, someone will have to know it...

Weatherforecast: Around 6 degrees, windy and some rain expected.
I would say, dress for mild winter climate.

Only tram 9 directly reaches the venue.
From the Vondelpark, take tram 3 to Muiderderpoort(station)
Now, after you've crossed the bridge, you'll pass a hospital and afterwards a park on your left. When the park stops (at a square, advice: sit in the front) get out and walk to the right. After 10 meters there is a tramstop. Take tram 9 in the same direction for 2 stops or walk 10 minutes.
It's cheaper to walk, since the second stop would cost you 1.60 euro's since you just left the central zone.

If this wasn't helping, I'll try again tomorrow.

Vondelpark guys,

Second tram scenario:

Take Tram 7 from the Leidseplein (direction Flevopark) and get out at the stop 'Linnaeusstraat'. Either walk from here to the venue (follow the Linnausstraat away from the park, and turn left on the 'Linnaeuskade', see map on DO-website, approx 15 mins).

Lazy feckers transfer to tram 9 and get out at pretoriusstraat (only one stop).

tram 3 also stops at the crossing of linneausstraat/wijttenbachstraat so it should be the same whether you take tram 3 or 7. What i found interessting while battling with the dutch public transport website is that sometimes the connection planner tells you to get of at dapperstraat, which seems to be the following station but according to the street maps that should be a bit further to walk. Maybe that has something to do with the daytime *shrug*

Damm... not sure if i can drive tomorrow. This morning i had to fly for some job busines to Leipzig quite early -getting up at 5am- and after coming back tonight i went ill into bed... not sure if this was because of this stressy daytrip or i realy did catch this damm virus which brings you quite often to visit the toilet...

... why at weekends and why THIS weekend ???

I will decide tomorrow morning after the night ...

@draco... i will call you or send you an sms tomorrow

We have to build up the place fridaynight between 21:00 and 23:00.

If It's done quickly, I'll come to the Tara.
Otherwise, I'll go home and prepare myself mentally.
