Well, I've done it! I've booked my ticket for my flight into Amsterdam. I will not be there during the 420 weekend events because I have planned a side trip to Switzerland during that period, however, my flight will arrive on the morning of 13 April, Saturday. I plan to make stops at the Greenhouse Effect, Voyagers and Utopia before heading out to Almere to visit with friends. I am also interested in checking out some other shops I have not been to before. I suspect I will run into gapie at some point. After my trip to Switzerland, I'll return to Amsterdam on 23 April and I'll stay until I fly out on the morning of 28 April.

Sweet wil you be doing any more videos? I'd really like to sit in one of them and give you the finger like your buddy did in that one in coffeeshop 137. No insult intended. I just thought that was really cool and should be a feature of your coffeeshop videos.
I'm in town 16/23 April. If you are doing a video anytime around then a video TnT could be in order.

I will have my video camera and I will be shooting raw video to be edited into internet short subjects. I would welcome having you sit for a video in any coffeeshop you choose. It's possible that we could meet on 22 or 23 April. I am planning to return from Switzerland on 22 April but me and my Swiss associate will be going out to Almere for the night. Would you consider meeting me at "de Blowboot" coffeeshop in Almere-stad? It's a coffeeshop ON A BOAT!
Let's keep in touch. All are welcome!
By the way, Heinz is flipping me the middle finger in the video for Utopia:

Nice video, DRA, just like the rest of them. Can't wait to see the new ones. Can't believe I didn't go to this coffeeshop (Utopia) on previous visits to the Dam.

Sadly, I won't, it's impossible for me to get time off from work in April. I will be there for two weeks in May, however. I'm also going to try very hard to make it for Cannabis Cup 2013 in November.

It took me a few minutes to find a link to the site. I'll try to plan a T&T at some point, if not, I'll surely attend some.

It is only in my planing stage but I was thinking of being in town from the 18th until the 25 It may be longer then that but it depends on my wife and her mood (bless that pea-pickin hart of hers but she is the one that does not believe in flying).It will sweet to see you once more and this time really see you. I am trying to get a room in Voyager hotel if not I'll look at greenhouse.

Here's another example of Heinz flipping me the finger:
This all-new production features original digital video shot with a Sony HDR TG1 Digital Video Camcorder.
With Els from Almere Haven
Tuesday, 10 April 2012:
This brief clip was recorded with Els at her house in Almere Haven. Here you will see Els with Heinz as they discuss cigarette rolling devices.
This bit of conversation is followed by a joke which ends in a familiar gesture from Heinz.
The original music is performed by Kevin MacLeod and it is provided royalty free from http://www.incompetech.com/
This video was edited with Vegas 11. The credits were created with Windows XP Movie Maker.
Thank you for viewing.

Here's an update as my plans are coming together.
I will be spending a few nights in Almere after I first arrive. I hope to attend a T&T session during this time as I will be spending days exploring Amsterdam. After this time, I will leave for Switzerland via the ICE. Upon my return to Netherlands, my first night will be in Almere, once again. Then my Swiss associate and myself will move into the Greenhouse Effect Hotel for 3 nights and then we will move to Voyagers for our last 2 nights.
I still have some flexibility in my schedule, so I am looking for opportunities to meet up with cool people at convenient points where our paths may cross.
Since the discussion here has included some talk about my friend Heinz and his use of the middle finger toward the camera, I have decided to include the link to this video which also features Heinz and his favorite gesture...
Enjoy!
