Happy 2011!! Our 7th year in a row! Can you believe we have been having our hip forums meetups and queens day cruises-houseboat parties for seven years running! I cant believe we even pulled off two or three in a row let alone seven! So who's onboard this year? We have been so fortunate to have been able to meet so many cool people through the years. OK...you past, present and future pigs...you know the drill! Gotta start planning for the boat cruise and sorta need a head count...same as all the other years. I know of nine so far! The pigs know Queens Day! Give a shout if you want to meet up with us! Rock On Pigs! Go Orange! Mike O queens day 2005..our 1st!
A Call to Varken!! I'm in, but I don't know about that canal cruise... 2007 spoiled me, with that onboard toilet and German Grachtencruisin' capabilities. Happy Nieuwe Jaar, all!!
well i am in, my first QDS missed last year, but im booked already for this year, do you guys have room on your boat cruise for another? (me) lol www.flickr.com/photos/amsmatty
So where's MY T-Shirt with Hip Forums on it? Why no more ads for Hip Forums? You guys should've consulted with me b4 your first meetup. I coulda lined you up with a special party place in A'dam. You can still do that if you want... Sorry I can't make it. No desire to go back after living there for 10 years. It's gone downhill now.... It's also goddamn expensive now too if you've got $$... Now a meetup in Norcal would be just fine with me...
Hey Mike sign me up again looks like I'm on the ground the 19th thru the 2nd. How are the tee shirt designs going?arty: Still having meet up at The Waterhole on the Wednesday 27th?
Nice to hear from some past QD veterans. Chris: What do you mean you need a bathroom like we had in 2007. we'll have a bottle and/or rubberband for you! That was a seven hour cruise...we shortened it down to 3-4 hours. Skip: Nice to hear from you! So your not in Amsterdam anymore huh? Now come on...you know we were doing this every year. And the hip forums logo is on the t-shirts...look closely. So whats this special party place your talking about?...we also put on a good spread/ QD party after the cruise every year...lets hook up sometime Skip! I know what you mean about being expensive over in Europe and especially Amsterdam....plus the dollar has sucked for years now.. yogi: you know you already have a spot! Were landing on the 27th to May 7th...same spot...pig central houseboat. Love that dam boat! I will have to see what Mike C is working on as far as this years shirts...gotta have them this year again. Lucky 7th year is will be the best yet:cheers2: Matty and the imaginary dude....hope to see you guys. Will have more info as we get closer as far as the cruise and our hip forums meet. later gators! GO Orange!....Syracuse that is!lol
Only 87 days till Queens day! Let the countdown begin. Only 88 days till I'm in Amsterdam trip number lucky 13. See you all there April 19th for two wonderful weeks.arty:
Hello all piggies. Guess its that time of year again. Dont know if I can make it but Ill try. I recently spent 4 days in the hospital, had gall bladder removed finally after a major and extremely painful episode. I am good to go now, no more problems except the usual financial ones. Still cant find a decent paying job and with Florida's 12% unemployment rate (3rd highest in nation) things dont look good. I am looking to move out of State before the year is up, closer to my sister and my 2 nephews in TN. I will wait to the last minute to book everything to get the best prices. Help with room and board is greatly appreciated as usual. You guys know me. If I do go, you know im in for all the festivities, cruises, fungus, prostitutes, you know, the usual. peace Mikeymike
I had cancelled all my travel plans when my Mom got sick, she told me to go. So, with her blessing, QD 2011 here we come. Will be a shorter trip as I don't want to be out of the country too long. I look forward to seeing friends, good smoke, good times. Piggy high five to you all. See ya in the Spring! Rock On, Tammy
Hi All Just back from my first trip this year. Nice on the DAM compared to NY..... Spent a few nights as susies late happy hour! As of now you can count me in.
Hey ya'll!, Nice to hear that your going now Tammy and hope all works out with your mom. Glad to hear your still alive and well Mikey....well at least alive. You will never miss that gall bladder...only caused you issues anyways. Glad to hear you doing well and let us know if your going or not. Can't guarantee you a place on such short notice. Nice to hear that they are still letting you back in at Suzies Dan.!!lol That was some funny shit that last night there. Can't wait to see you and I should have extra spots on the boat also....I hear Dennis isn't going this year, so that's room for two spots on the cruise...lol. My friend John and I will be landing on the 27th till the 7th of May. See you all at pig central the 27th! Around 12 of us so far this year.arty:
I was just reading this article on the Queens Day party and unlike last year you will not be able to buy more than one beer in the supermarkets this year. http://www.dutchamsterdam.nl/1297-a...queens-day-party-mayor-says:cheers2::cheers2:
Time sure is flying! 40 days till QD! What are you trying to do Yogi...scare everyone away with the proposed one beer on queens day at the market article. Will never happen..we usually stock up pretty good before then anyways.....plenty of booze on hand for that day! So were all set with the Queens Day cruise! Our fav. canal navagator Matheiu said he would love to take us around again. Were scheduled for "high noon" till 4p and then of course our party at pig central houseboat right afterwards...so get your party shoe's ready! We have room for some extra spots so speak up if your interested in joining us. Still need seats Dan for your friends? Hope their strippers like they have on the "ex-porn star" boat! lol We'll have our little hip forums, pigs, strays, whoever wants to join us meet again at The Waterhole on Thursday at 5p happy hour! GO PIGS! Later Gators!
Hey Fellow Piggies! Glad to see that so many of you are on board for yet another year of debauchery and fun!! Can't wait to see you all again, along with the "new" crew members. Thrilled to hear that all is set with the Queens Day cruise and that Matheiu will be at the helm once again. This guys knows how to traverse the canals and get out of those famous Queensday traffic jams better than anyone we've ever had. Thanks for your continued efforts in making this all happen year after year Mike! High Noon it is... with buzz on. See all of you fine swine at The Waterhole on the 28th, if not before. We're in for some seriously, seriously good times, as usual. :2thumbsup: The pigs being greeted by Bea (2010)
Great news on Matthew and the boat and this was just a warning to buy early Mike I really want to get some beer from that wind mill and of course a few Hines. arty:arty:
