What we will do is
1) have a pre organized meeting point inside the AES 10 mins before it closes Saturday night. (to be announced) We will have to stand outside for about 15 mins while we wait for people with booths at the AES to close down and join us.
2) A mobile phone number to call to find out where everyone is for or people wanting to meet us:
a) not at the AES but at dinner
or
b) not at the AES, not at dinner but for drinks after dinner
- On Saturday I might run around a little at lunch time to scout out a place very nearby that can deal with
a) an indeterminate number of diners
b) separate bills for each person.
Having done these get-togethers many times before, its really best to have the drinks / eats right near the AES so people parked there don't have to screw around with moving their car, and can walk back to the RAI parking lot and drive home after dinner..
An after dinner drinking (or smoking
) spot in central Amsterdam might get suggested - and thats where the mobile phone number will come in handy.. (and chocolate of course...)
