Belgian HL Invasion!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

PS. MacHeartland 'n Fries has been done, by some ging~er FUD in Leeds :?
Too bad. I was merely thinking of it since fries are associated with Belgium (except in the minds of some ignorami, who are unfamiliar with the verb 'to french' and call them freedom fries for some reason or another since some time ago :twisted:). IZ seems to be thinking up a storm, though, so I'm sure we'll have a name soon... ;)
"The Damage Done" is so cheap and sounds more like a name for the afterparty...

"Too Much But Never Enough"?

"MyMainLand Tour 2007" is too broad a term for a Flanders Trip...

"Heartland Jocks meet Belgian Waffles" is a bit rude mebbies...

I'll keep on thinking...

I hope he is, then the three of us could hold a 'baldiness' contest! :lol: :lol: :lol:

's gonna be difficult to keep Daniel out in the first place I fear ;D

He's rather enthousiastic about our little project and after the favor he did US, we'll be glad he comes over and attend. But he's a very busy man, and I fear a small gig in a s**t like Lier ain't enough to lure'im :)

I managed to miss this entire thread until now!!! I fancy coming to this as well. Not sure if I can just now but I'll try to work out the logistics tomorrow when I'll actually have some time to do so. At any rate, a HL (& FGG) weekend in Belgium sounds like an opportunity not to be missed! If anyone can provisionally help out with lifts (I would be doing the Prestiwick-Charleroi thing if I were to come), sharing hotel room costs / offering crash space elsewhere, I'd be most grateful.

It's all possible, I guess. Personally, I'd of course like you guys to see where I hang out, which is Leuven, but that would probably be strictly a night affair, because of all the bars at the Old Market. There are sights to see, like the Old Beguinery (for those who love old buildings ;)) and some other things. What it comes down to, is that we probably all would like you to see where we live and get pished or the city of our preference, but that's just not going to happen over the course of three days. So it just depends on where you guys want to go to, methinks...

You'd be most welcome to grab the final seat I have available if you're coming over with James and Claire to Charleroi...

I'm open to suggestions to be honest (steady now!)... if the Belgian Contingent can come to some kind of agreement on What The Islanders Really Must See, that'd be tops. I've heard nice things about all these places so I don't have any particular preference. Where's the best bar/club-wise?
Obviously logistics will come into it too, and my local geography is not too hot (all I know is, when I pass through Belgium on the motorway most years, I see a sign for a town called Weirde :lol: ).

This gets Better and Better!

The Planet and the Bearded Scotsman as well (well, maybe)!! :notworthy:

As for the Places To See...

Antwerp is a must, I think. Not only to make Zeno feel important (;D), but because it is a very nice town.

Lier is nice enough, but is is also rather smallish. It has some nice pubs and it has a lovely walkaround on the circumvallations and dikes (note sp.!) which is just the thing after a good night of boozing!

Then again, plenty to see here.

Leuven, well, if I have to be honest, it is more a Summer place. The Old Market is the ideal place for the Summer Holidays, sitting on the terraces sipping a beer and enjoying the buzz.

My option would be Ghent. Brussels is also nice, but Ghent has more second hand record shops ;)

OTOH, so has Antwerp... (Zeno, don't forget to take the lot to the Melkmarkt in the direction of Paardenmarkt! They can gawp at FatKat et al...)

Oh I love it! Just a question though, you missed the "e", but it's because my name is too long right?

Another request too please, could TourGuider also have one or else the jealously will start... :innocent:

Thank you Mr. Blast! :notworthy: ;D

Antwerp is a Must.
I figure we could best visit that city on Saturday. Its not that far from Lier and we’d have a whole day to sightseeing.
We could have the after party (or the after after party) in lier itself.
for other city’s I would go for Gent, lots to see and the logistics aren’t a hell like leuven or Brussels.
(no Zoersel becaus there is nothing to see here anyway :lol: )

@ MadameButterfly. We are in need of a tourguider, can you wake him :lol:
