The MLA European get-together happened (celebrating, amongst other things, the third anniversary of the opening of the MLA on July 23rd 2004) and I enjoyed myself a lot. We experienced three entirely different days, and had lots of fun.
The first day we went to Ghent for a festival on a hot day, and the city had music and street shows going on, with plenty of excellent beer, too.
On the second day, Borsky took us on a guided tour of the medaeval city of Bruges, pointing out all sorts of odd buildings, esoteric symbols of the Masons and
Templars, etc, we had milder weather, and only one burst of rain.By chance, we stopped for pizza only to find we had chosen to eat at 23 Akademiestraat, Bruges. heh heh
On the third day we went to Amsterdam, visited an esoteric library, flung the lasagna as well as had various kinds of fun…even the heavy rain in the afternoon just stranded us in an amiable bar in the middle of Vondel Park…
No doubt further impressions from other people will appear in the forum, and I will return to amplify some of the details, but we completed our tasks, both the magic ritual for absent friends, and the above-mentioned event staged by the Lasagna Slinging Dept…
Borsky's take on this (our great host!)

Great pics! Glad you all had a good time flinging the pasta!
Hopefully there'll be another one I can get to--maybe a small-ish UK gathering.
Yeah we had a real lot of fun...
in spite of gravity, traffic, policemen, lack of sleep, etc...
