So you finally made it to bluebird, did James make the trip or was he still formulating a plan? :roll:
Say hi to Francois for me, glad you bumped into him again, and again, and again, what's in the bag :?:

Is it OK if I get my boots on? :wink: :lol:

Made another trip to de pijp, then trammed back, wanting to get off at the Dam, but ended up at Centraal. Poked past Voyagers to find Marriageuana in his Patriots jersey, ready for the game, wherever that was being shown. Hope you found a place to watch it, man. Stopped in to have some cherry cokes and smoke with him. Gapie shows up, and we all stayed pretty much until closing. Soft Smoky...

Stan and I made our way to Utopia to find hasj and still no Strawberry Cough. Stayed until closing, where the owner personally gave us the boot.

Trammed to Leidseplein and checked Satellite Sports bar, but all I saw was 49ers/Giants. Came home to find James in his Eluveitie beanie, haha.

Bought more Gardela at Eerste Hulp and met Stan and Marriageuana upstairs. Had a smoke and received gratis hash from Marriageuana. Thanks again 8). Marriageuana had the brilliant idea of Cafe Loetje for dinner, and we stopped at H1 on our way. James is home, and we have a quick smoke before Marriageuana and I leave for dinner.

Tram to de Pijp, then a quick stop at de Graal, where no Boca is available today. Grab some Mexican and we get to Loetje about 6 or so. Get seats right away and order up. My schnitzel seems smaller than the one I saw across the table from me in April, and is a bit heavy. Frites could have been browner. Marriageuana happy with his bief steak. Overall good, but I remember better. Amazingly, neither of us is able to finish our desert of sticky toffee taart with vanilla ice cream :oops: :oops: wth??? It was very good :D

Trammed back to the centrum, where Marriageuana went to Grey Area and I went to CS New Times to meet notsofasteddie. Cool cat, he is. 8) Thanks, man. James arrives while we're chatting out front, and we end up saying farewell to Eddie, and stopping at Utopia so James can get some of the new Strawberry Cough. James and I split, with me going to Voyagers. Meet back up with Marriageuana and have a smoke and cherry coke :D. Gapie rolls in, and eventually takes Debo for a walk. Comes back sometime later huffing and puffing, semi-frantic, saying the dog was hit by a car. Debo seems fine. Stan eventually calms down. Damage estimate on the vehicle still pending. :lol: Get kicked out of a closing Voyagers. Might have to take back what I said about not liking to smoke at Voyagers. Cherry coke and pets...a winning combination. Oh yeah, they have some pretty tasty bud too, huh? :wink:

Making preparations to storm the castle tomorrow, starting 10am at Voyagers. Testing Tuesday, dontchaknow. :mrgreen:

To receive the discount on a 50e purchase, you must be a member. I wanted the card, so they scanned my driver's license and took down my local address and I was able to receive the card on the spot. Still a little unclear about the details, but I'll either check them online or return to clear it up. Had to tell a little white one about how long I was visiting, as this may not have happened if I said that I was leaving on Friday. I was told that if the card is lost, that I would have to pay 5e and I lose my 'credit'.
