Hoarse greetings from Amsterdam by night!

2023-05-01

Finally – fucking finally – I went to that (in)famous Dutch capital. And even for European standards, it's an exemplary combination of modernistic wealth, old-school architecture, a diverse array of cultural offerings, and, not the least of all, just plain sinful partying.

I was there for King's Day, which is the Dutch national day. And I was there for 4 nights in total, this being the last one. Which explains why my voice sounds like Phil Anselmo rather than, say, James LaBrie.

Like I'm saying, I might not do an entire article about Amsterdam. So in case I don't: Just fucking go there. Unless you're the world's most boring sumbitch, you won't be sorry. Just maybe try to go off-season and not during winter, this being the northwest of Europe and all.
