Might I return to the alternative plan I mentioned earlier?

Suppose we were to do Stud on the 20th, after 420? Maybe around 6pm?

That's quite do-able, in fact we've done it before. The tram stop isn't far from 420 Café. The only catch with that is that it might be a bit of a rush to get back for a boat trip after Stud, especially if people want to eat first.
But, if the boat doesn't have to be on the 20th then we could move that to the 19th. Suppose we went to Utrecht at noon on 19th, we could spend a few hours there and still be back in Amsterdam in plenty of time for people to eat before a boat at around 9pm. That way we could do Ballonnetje on the 21st, maybe followed by Spirit, leaving the 18th free for other missions, such as De Kade.
I think I confused myself :lol: I was stoned :lol: :lol:

Yes to your earlier suggestion on events :thumbup:

Lets move the boat to the 19th late sailing with a visit to Utrecht at noon on that day :thumbup: which allows late arrivals a chance to join us 8)
I have booked the whole boat for the 19th at 9.30pm sailing - people can either settle me up with cash in Dam or PayPal me the ticket price -£25pp (message me on whatsapp for Paypal account) - no pay no ride :wink: - (no drinks included but they can be bought on board if required by anyone, I never drank 2 drinks last time + I pressed the wrong button :lol: ) - https://buddhaloungeboat.com/ appreciate everyone that has said they will put a little extra in if we don't get the numbers 8) :thumbup:

The Stud on the 20th after the 420 event sounds like a good idea and yes we did do that before and it worked out quite well for us.

Balloonetje on the 21st with the Pinball comp @The Spirit after that :thumbup: will work fine

I wouldn't mind jumping on the NDSM ferries and having a look across the water, it has been a long time since I was last over there, we could maybe fit that in on the 18th which is free now
We.mustve been on the same level of stoned. I read the boat and utrecht as Saturday in the original message. I'm happy with the updated plan.

I'll get you on WhatsApp for boat payment. 😀

:wtf: :lol: Seriously, I'm up for these changes along with jollylittlehun. That makes 3 of us. :shock: Let's get a few more folks responding, with a yes or no, so hopefully we can settle on a schedule of events. :crazy: :thumbup:

Lots of us were talking about a day trip to Haarlem, so I would like to add on to the schedule, going to Haarlem/Zandvoort on the 22nd, if everyone is in favor of that. :mrgreen:
Would be another good day trip.

:thumbup: Excellent news that @Trad and @SammySarah welcome aboard maties, that makes our head count now including @Lemming + @Igraine 7 makes 9 left, so get on board and be part of the ACD crew :wink: If someone came up with a ACD banner to hold as a group before boarding so we could get a group pic would be good or just getting a group pic in front of the boat would be good :thumbup:

Welcome aboard!
Can't help you with accommodation, I'm afraid. We're staying in a cupboard in a basement! I'm sure you can find something for less than 2 grand though. Out of the centre on a tram/metro/night bus route can get you a better price. Or a hostel.

@ Ghost - I would like a seat on the boat please. YES to our invitations to the Stud and Balloon - I will firm up on all other excursions as dates and times are finally agreed.
@ Lemming, I would like to try the legally grown offerings if possible (Zaandam?) and visit De Kade (never been).

Started planning my first purchases already. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hi mate. I can't help offering my accomodation but I highly recommend the stayokay hostels and Hans Brinker although i think theres an age limit for dorms there? Maybe under 40?

Looking forward to meeting you :D

Captain Oprah :? not quite sure what that means :lol:

We now have 10 people confirmed for the Buddha Boat sailing on the 19th at 9.30pm and there are only 6 seats left available, so if you want to be onboard you had better be quick and book your seat up :wink:

@Lemming are we going to see the 420 count down clock :wink:
