When I want to find out what the weather is like in Amsterdam or be carried back there by the sound of a tram bell, I check out the Koningsplein Webcam. In case you don't know, you can watch it yourself here: http://www.terena.org/webcam/.

Koningsplein (King's Square) is actually a wide bridge over the Singel canal carrying a road and a busy tram line. The camera streams high-res live video with sound.

Last year we suggested that everyone meet in the nearby Dampkring and go to wave at the webcam at 3.20pm before we went to 420/de Kuil. Cattales1960 picked up the idea and made a banner and everything. In typical stoner fashion we didn't quite hit the published time (we were actually early!) but lots of people turned up and waved at all the folks back home


Anyway, are we up for giving it another try this year? I'm thinking a little earlier this year, say 2.20pm, two hours before 4.20.

I'll be back at home on the 20th but i'll try for another vid/pic's fingers crossed for the dancing tramdriver

Hi Lemming,

I'm up for the 'Wave', not sure about 2.20pm though, 3.20's better for me.
15 days to go

Do you want me to try and get the banner to someone like Hes? She may have left already. I will try and call her.

Doing the 4:20 wave, to the rest of the poor bastards around the world who are wishing they could be there with you, at any minute in time other than 4:20PM Amsterdam time? Dastardly indeed

Catt - sounds good if Hestia and everyone is up for it. Thanks.

Been a fair few police hanging round there today

I lost the banner.. actually I think it is misplaced. I am truly sorry. we can see you guys easier if you have it. FT are you going to try and catch the wave on cam? I sure hope someone does.

Catt, I'll be up bright and early to catch the BIG wave.....will be happy to see everyone, but sad that we're not there.
Will fire up the Bong at 7:20am here to sort of fill like I'm there. Yeah right.

So what time IS the wave? I sat on that bench for an hour last year not realizing it had already happened. Stoners....

Im assuming this is 2.20pm holland time right?
