i was trying to make it smokestax (GD?) but all fell thru.
if you haven't been to Rotterdam, the best way is to just walk down to the main street from the train station and "feel" your way around. it will only take you a couple of minutes by foot and there are several although not plenty of shops in that area. "sky high" was a decent place but there was a place across the street where you bought through a plexi-glass window (seemed like being at a late-nite pawnshop in america!) but the weed was GOOD!!! it was called "pluto" if i remember correctly.
the AHOY is very easily accessible though. when i went to see Roger Waters in 2002, they had signs posted inside the train stations and the police would help you along your way...just a short ride from the city center.
have a GREAT time!!! enojoy Pat for me...

Sounds like an awesome scene. We're tentatively planning a July 2009 trip; anyone know the dates of the Jazz fest next year?
