I've been warned by locals to expect an older crowd. They tell me I can expect to be on the younger side at 56!

Ed, I went last year. It is amazing and a sensory overload. You are going to see flowers that seem unreal. I also recommend you read Alexandre Dumas, "The Black Tulip" to get a sense of the tulip mania.

Be prepared for stuff like the below, which is an unedited photo that looks to me like I photoshopped it:

I'm in my 40s and had a great time. There is a good mix of people, although the area with the baby cribs over by the windmill was a bit morbid and just creepy.

Keep it going, Ed! I love the energy!

What is the first strain you want to try?

Good question. I won't be able to try the first strain I want when I arrive. That would be Acupulco Gold from Easy Times and I will have to wait a few hours for them to open. The first strain I will try in an unknown at this point, whatever strikes me when I show up, maybe at Central but more likely at Bulldog Energy.
