Laura Croft’s welcome party in Amsterdam
On 19 July 2002 it was the day that Laura was moving to Amsterdam. Since Laura really liked to surprise Ton she invited us to help moving, BBQ and drink some Schlösser Alt. By various reason we were not able to come all together to surprise Ton. 

Niki was to first one to surprise Ton, he arrived at Ton’s house at 11:45, only 45 minutes to late but he was searching for the house for more than an hour. After Niki helped to get all stuff out of the truck and tried to help Laura to built up the bed. Ton and Niki decided to go to the supermarket to get some food. That was the moment that Michel surprised Ton by saying he was coming to help him to move Laura in. At this point Ton had no idea that the rest of the gang was coming, later on he knew Laura had invited everyone. Michel came right on time because most of the moving was as good as ready, haha!!

After we drinked almost all the by Laura imported Schlösser alt and meat, the Hell of Shame accepted the offer of Ralph to go with him to Emmeloord to visit the Bierelier (the official beer sponsor of the Triple “A” pre-game BBQ). Since Michel already went home because it was his brother’s birthday we had to pick him up on our way to Emmeloord. Michel spend 40 minutes at his brother’s birthday, like a good brother does, and went with Niki, Ralph and Ilse to Emmeloord. On the way to Emmeloord Ilse almost missed a turn, but by good instructions from Ralph, Ilse made the turn just on time. 

When we arrived in Emmeloord, we first robbed a ATM (hey!! We needed money to sponsor our next years beer-sponsor!!). After that we went to the Bierelier, after a nice introduction to all the staff, we got a welcome drink.  It was a Jamesson and we had to drink it the Kling-way, see more about this on the site of the Bierelier. Normally the Kings of Klings (Ralph, Sander and Isle) drink this all the time, we only managed three. The first one was OK, we both survived! The second one was YUK and we started spinning. The third one was too much for Niki and he went outside. After a couple of hours of heavily drinking next to the Klinging we went home, we were really wasted and needed a bed. Before getting into the cab, Niki had to get rid some meat, Schlosser and Whiskey, so he threw up and got into the cab. 

Arriving at Ralph’s house Niki passed away right-a-way and Michel and Ralph tried to watch a movie (name??). After one more beer we also decided to go to bed. The next morning everbody except Ilse had a hangover and were not feeling great.
Next time the Hell of Shame will not Kling anymore and leave that up to the King of Klings. 

We want to thank everybody on the BBQ for a great time, Laura for the Schlosser Alt, the staff of the Bierelier (names??) and Ralph for this experience!!!
