Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Been lurking for a few days now, signed up yesterday, then been waiting for my activation to say hi.

I start my permanent contract at work today (after more than 12 months struggling to find work, unemployed). So as a celebration gona book a summer trip on the good 'ol credit card.

Been once before (2009), but for that trip i bought a cheap guide book the day before we flew out from "The Works",... didn't realise it was about 4 years old til we were out there. So lesson learnt, getting my research done starting now.

I'll post up dates once confirmed, hopefully meet a few locals or tourists alike.

Peace out.

Hi, and congrats on your job!

Have fun planning another adventure in the Dam.

Welcome wileykat ....and congrats on your new job!

Yeah man I like grime, but I don't really know many people up in Leeds (Im from Brum) so aint been to any venues here. Any recomendations? I only go Hi-fi once in a while.

I'm in Kirkstall, not far from the Abbey.
