The weather was bit cooler than expected, but still nice and clear; Hotel Arena was great with nice bar and we had a chance to meet and bond with the team from Dickies Europe. It was really interesting to hear how people perceive Dickies over here. In a lot of countries it's actually a fashion brand (think Lucky Brand Jeans or Stussy) but in a few countries they only want the traditional workwear. Spent the first night in kind of a daze due to the jetlag, but got into the swing of things after staying up and drinking with the Dickies design team until pretty late. Really enjoyed attending the secret sales meetings and unveiling of their European line for Summer, the private fashion show was held in kind of an abandoned wharf. That night we headed back into town for the Choppertown screening at the oldest theater in Europe (in continuous operation since 1912) called simply "The Movies". Big thanks to Juergen, Olaf and the Dickies gang for getting us off to a good start, and a big thanks to all the guys who came out for the screening (finally got a chance to meet the Duckman!) After three days in town it was time to go so our buddy Lutz picked us up and we headed off to Hamburg Harley Days...here's some pics from Amsterdam.
