The Annual Four-Twenty Gathering - 20th April 2017

[nathan420stoner]

Babas opens at 10am i think so will head out there for opening time

Sorry to bear bad news but I wouldn't rely on Baba being open that early.

they were open at the time in december when i was over il double check opening times just to make sure

The Stud.

Opens 7am through to 1am. What day and time do we think the meet could be.
Reviewers seem to imply it's a "locals" shop. Thats probably the case, but it's location and very early opening suggest to me that its also popular with the zeeburg campers. Which is nice.

Most stay over by RLD not sure how many you will get that early .You could get a couple

[spidergawd]

I didn't see that one flagged. Cause I hadn't looked. I'll be heading for central station and schipol at 2 on the 19th so all I can say is have fun and it sounds like it will be a blast. One of many. Perhaps they'll be handing out the teeshirts, they've got some merchandise on the website.

Coffeeshop evolution in modern Amsterdam.

[spidergawd]

I remember an afternoon t&t a couple of years ago, a load of people there, choppermike, ohms, FOD, ftcarer & sons and a few others that I thought was at 137, but not so sure since I've seen the images of 137. Anyone remember? It was winter time and in that area, and I'm sure it also had a verdamper.

Could that have been Paradox in December 15 with volcanoes Spider ?

( TT and Finger hash might jog the memory ??? )

Ha ha I got a bit behind with this fast moving thread. That was the one thank you.

I'm down to 68 days but I'm not clock watching.

That would be Mad Maxx,thought you knew him? He will be around for 420 ,pretty sure your pretty much brothers from different mothers. Can,t wait for smoke out with both of you Roll on 420

That's right MadMaxx now I remember! We didn't actually get chance to chat so I don't know him too well. Sure that will be fixed this year

date change 19th-24th, mite do a crawl threw the west on the morning of 420, start with babas,137, catch 99,spirit, mr ks, and paradox if anyone would be interested?

Deffo like the sound of this - we'll surely join you at some point along the way, Funky Monkey is on my list of western shops to try too.

OK, change of plan regarding the East Crawl on 19th in view of this invite from The Stud.

Also deffo up for some type of Eastern crawl - what's the invite about Lem? I searched the thread but couldn't find the details. Have I missed it?

Awesome to see Papi and Spider, Smirks and DB from last year and some new faces too. Shame I'll miss LLMreb by a couple days - I am toying with the idea of extending my stay. Plus - hopefully; subject to confirmation my best smoking buddy will be tagging along as well. Happy days

Shaping up to be a beauty already.

[LLMReb]

OHFM, you should extend to the Batavia T&T on Sunday! I plan to make an appearance. I can't stay long because wife and little buddy (9 month old) will be outside, but I'll come by for sure. Then on Sunday during the day, I'm considering a T&T of my ow in the de Pijp area near where I'm staying. Open to suggestions there.

Looking forward to meeting as many as possible.

[Nuggz]

Depending on how my work situation ends up at that point, may have to move my proposal to the day after on Saturday.

I think 10-10:30AM would be a good time to depart Centraal Station en route to Utrecht. Given that the shorter round of kayak touring takes approx. 2-hours (add at least 45 minutes to that stoner-time); t' Grasje I believe opens at 13:00.

In de Pijp Katsu might be a good option. Centrally located within the neighborhood, decent enough product (at times), and nice ambience.

Edit to add: will I finally bestowed the honor of meeting another Ole Miss fan, to discuss the merits of a bear versus a plantation owner for a mascot? #YouCanTakeColonelRebFromOurFlagButNotOurHatefulHearts ....only joking hope to see you there!

I got three that are into a road trip ,sounds fun

[KeyMonCha]

Starting to look like a really fun few days, guys!! Excitement levels are building nicely! Here was me worried about my tolerance levels, when i really should be worrying about my stamina!

[Lemming]

Also deffo up for some type of Eastern crawl - what's the invite about Lem? I searched the thread but couldn't find the details. Have I missed it?

Yes! But I'll summarize for you.

The original idea was to meet at Ballonnetje and then attempt a long crawl around the east culminating at The Stud.

In reality the chances of us getting as far as The Stud weren't high but I'd been in correspondence with Stud's owner Silvio after he sent me a photo of the shop. I mentioned to him that we might be visiting and he said that we were very welcome and that he would have a little surprise for us.

When I mentioned this on chat with DeLekkersteNUGS16 and others there seemed to be some enthusiasm. The thinking being that if the owner is offering us some kind of VIP treatment then it's worth making an effort to get there.

A further complication is that the carnivores will be wanting to get to de Klos for their early dinner so we will only have a limited time. They can get tram 7 from near The Stud to the Leidseplein so it's easy but that still means we only have until about 4pm.

So, I'm thinking of abandoning the long crawl, at least for that day, and trying to get as many people as possible straight out to The Stud for a serious session. They've got a Volcano and a PC from which we can do live posts.

If it's a nice day I might walk back into town via various coffeeshops. Anyone not rushing off to de Klos would, of course, be welcome to join me.

It's still early days and this is only a suggestion. We could still do an east crawl on another day or on the way back from The Stud. We could consider this to be the far east crawl and do a near east crawl on another day.

---

I notice we haven't got any Utopia meets on the itinerary yet. How about meeting there after de Klos, say about 8pm on 19th?

[macky]

Hey Lem would it make more since to go west on the 19th after 137? Hit Baba ,catch 33 keep west heading south .
Your thinking make Stud one off and maybe crawl back. Would the 18th ,meet at noon at voyagers then head stud for 1 .Or start at 11 o,clock what ever? I set birthday bash at 8 so new arriveals can hit Utopia first . Like you say we have time ,come on guys got any good ideas nows the time to chirp up

[OneHighMofo]

The itinerary looks great to me - plenty going on, plenty of choice, plenty of scope for it all going to pot.
Hopefully the various groups will live post their whereabouts so that they can be joined by late-comers, stragglers and stoners.

That walk across town last year through a packed Dam Square with Stan and Papi herding the group around those fucking huge fairground rides all flashing, circling and blaring remains one of my favourite memories. I was high as fuck, giggling like a loon and walking into that intense sensory assault was like - WHOAH

roll on 420
