Happenings in Amsterdam December 10 -13
Every week we at Busy in Amsterdam, in the process of making the agenda, sort through all the flyers we collect, scan numerous Dutch agendas, and scour the internet to bring you a list of hand-picked happenings. Only 30- 40 or so events make the cut (it is not physically possible for us to translate everything!); and usually the events that don't make the list are dropped because they are exclusively Dutch (i.e. discussions in Dutch) or films without any English subtitles, or what we consider accessible (the schedules of the City's biggest and most popular clubs and music venues). More importantly we also try to post "uncommon events", we all know where to find the best beats or where to catch a film; thus we seek out the creative, sometimes strange, original happenings that make Amsterdam the place we love. Of course it goes without saying that we will miss something and since we make this agenda for fun and don’t receive any funds or subsidies, we essentially rely on you and your networks, as well as our own, to keep this agenda as up-to-date as possible. So if you see something interesting don’t hesitate to send it our way - busyinamsterdam [at] gmail. Also if you would like to be added to the weekly reminder list please shoot us a mail at busyinamsterdam [at] gmail.
As always have a rocking weekend.

Happenings in Amsterdam the long weekend of September 24 - 27
This week's agenda surprised me, there is so much to do. A friend asked me this morning, after I made a few suggestions for his weekend, "so then, what are you planning on doing?"; I couldn't reply! It seems I need/want to be in multiple places at the same time, and although that is annoying it was also quite great to think that Amsterdam has so much to offer.
This week I had a request to specifically list theater shows that are in English, or where language is no problem, which I will work to continue to do. That being said I want to emphasize that this agenda is hand-picked and does not aim to post every event into English, rather I post a handful of happenings. Furthermore this agenda is not only for the non-Dutch speakers, so some events might be in Dutch (which I will note in the listing).
You can keep up-to-date on Amsterdam happenings in four ways: I just created a Facebook page, where I will post a weekly reminder about the Busy in Amsterdam agenda, but you can also get reminders of events via twitter, sign up for a RSS feed, and or I also send a weekly email reminder (if you would like to be on the list please email me at busyinamsterdam [at] gmail).
Enjoy!
