I'm driving up from Amsterdam tomorrow afternoon with a friend of mine. He's French too so the two of you should be fine We're meeting another friend who lives there and everyone is pretty easy going so you're more than welcome to tag along.
Will your email work there? I'll pm you my email adress and you can send me a message when it's beer'0'clock for you and I'll let you know where we are. It's my first time in Brussel but my friend has been many times before so I'll just follow him and hope for the best.
