A beer in AMS?
I'm finishing up my clog run this weekend and will be spending most of the day at AMS. If anyone is around at AMS from 1100-1500 on Saturday 13 July and would like to grab a beer, please drop me a note.

Beer in AMS. Aaaaaaaaa, one of my favorite things. 
I wish I could. I have a pair of SWU's that seem to work quite well on that route as well.
Unfortunately I'll be here in RDU twiddling my thumbs until next Wednesday. Then to Barbados.
Take photos MatthewC! Cheers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Geo1004 in 'declines beer' shocker
In an unprecidented display of restraint, geo1004 has turned down the opportunity to fly halfway around the world for a beer. Promises of sex, drugs, alcohol, and clearing upgrades were not enough to sway the normally lush geo.
"We've never seen him like this," said friends, when asked about his reluctance to fly around the world for a single sip of the cool amber liquid. "Normally he'd jump the opportunity to burn his USAir miles faster than a hippie would an American flag. Even the promise of sex and drugs failed to arouse his interest."
Dutch beer is world famous. The most famous brand is Heineken. It's quite cheap, and it tastes cheap too - normally a combination that would turn geo1004 into a drooling, muttering idiot. Foreigners love Heineken, the locals take it for granted. Geo1004 never takes beer for granted.
Most of the major Dutch brands are mass-produced ill-tasting beverages. Drafts like Amstel, Oranjeboom and Dommelsch are an insult to your tastes. Grolsch and Brand offer a better deal. The local brewery Het IJ makes a great beer. But it appears geo will never discover the true joy of this particular amber nectar.
It emerged late this morning that geo hasn't totally given up his lust for beer. In a desperate quest to fulfil his global beer challenge, he implored fellow drinker MatthewClement to 'take photos', signing off with that familiar drinking call, 'Cheers!'

Unfortunate timing MatthewClement. First we miss you that evening in LHR, and also in AMS. Enjoy the beer/s. Joh and I had gottigotti above recognise us by our FT bag tags at Centraal Station AMS a few weeks back. They sure are BRIGHT.
