thanx in advance

sorry for the missed T in Heartlanders

if you come towards Maastricht let me know.

have to find how to reach the festival from Brussels and book a room for the night.Anyone up for a pre meeting because i am only going for The Sisters,not interested about the other acts?
Hope we have a few drinks before the gig and all that

I just came across your post....you can take a direct train from BXL central to Tienen; I think it's only a 10 min walk from Tienen station to the Grote Markt...To stay the night seems more complicated since there's only one hotel (far as I can see), the Alpha Hotel, and that's fully booked..maybe some bnb...

But I think the last train leaving is at 23:49...If the Sisters start on time and don't work overhours, that should be doable...

Plus, I don't see any mention of the saturday trainstrikes anymore...

camping worked well and was very cheap with good facilities. about 5 mins from the festival (square)

ps. there is a nice 'irish' bar opposite the AB, which is also near a very cool record shop

and not really a solo passtime, but you can do worse than try kwak

Hi, far as I can see there's no camping in Tienen this year..even asked the organizers and they confirmed this afternoon by mail stating there won't be any camping...

And when that is not available, there's always Duvel, of course!

IZ.

There's certainly no lack of great beer in this beautiful country...

tell me about that,man I seem to follow the path of The Beer,amazing ones in here.Some are a bit too strong for my taste but i like trying them all.

I checked again and no rooms available.I can take the train back at 11 something but i prefer to book a room and get drunk with some of you guys,just fleeing after the concert seems wrong to me.Will check again tonight and tomorrow and see if i can figure out something.

Ahoi, of course it's not nice to run off straight after a concert, but if the alternative is to roam the streets of Tienen til the the next morning.....

You can pitch a tent here: http://www.vianderdomein.be/

It's not an official camping and there won't be any showers and such, but they allow people to put up their tent...There's breakfast in the morning..

i'll take the last train back,just hope the train station is close to the venue.See ya there,whoever is going

Hi damagedone, I also live in Brussels for the moment, but unfortunately I don't drink beer. Nethertheless, if you are interested in a meeting, send me a pm.

the gig was short but amazing.Von was going back and forth the left and right on the stage,his vocals were sharp and clear,he sounded better than last year and last year's Munich gig was fantastic.Going on the cat walk during Flood II was indeed great experience.I got some photos and will upload tomorrow.Met interesting people,had good time.Can't wait for the October dates.The get better and better.

How long are you staying in Brussels, damagedone?
I work there, so maybe we can have a few beers at some point in near future...

here until at least end of September,would be pleasure
