Not only does Amsterdam have culture, but it has Tech-Ed Europe 2004 too...

Well, I'm not at Tech-Ed today, because I'm not in the US of A...but in the good old UK of E(urope), which is quite a bit closer to Amsterdam than San Diego...so if Amsterdam doesn't sound like too much of drag for you (apparently there is a rich history of culture there <!> ) and you want to get up to speed on all things Microsoft tech, then Tech-Ed Europe (29th June - 2 July) is for you.
