but will they survive the trip from Manchester?

@Jolly I will not make the 11.30 meet up at Siberia now as of the flight set back will check to see if your still there when I hit town or I will make my way towards Het Gelderse, I am going to use a bag locker close by to the coffeeshop so I am not carrying loads of stuff around before we check in

Thats disappointing. Let me know when you get in to town and I'll tell you where I am.

Yes I will do, I reckon I will be walking out of central around 12.45 as long as the queue at passport control is kind to me and will make my way to the bag locker just around the corner from Het Gelderse and then head there to start my 420 trip off with the 1st purchases and smokes and hang for AzLaker who arrives a little later. We could just meet there at the scheduled 1.30 meet up and go from there


I have started scanning the menus checking out places I need to try and hit up for pickups, already to many places I want to be and not enough time to do it all.

I am trying to bring as little as possible in my bag this year clothes wise and just the smoking essentials, keeping an eye on the weather to see if I can get away with one jumper or none, fingers crossed the sun gods are looking down on us this year

[Lemming]

How about Hunters Bar down by Rembrandtplein?

Quite a few decents coffeeshops close by and pretty easy to get to?

Good call! Hunter's Bar. I like it there and they've always had a good permissive attitude in the past.

Coffeeshopamsterdamcafe is also cool, despite having a stupid name.

If we're talking about after the boat, instead of Pollux, then we'll be close to tram 4 or 14 to Rembrandtplein or a short walk to the café with the silly name so either would work.

Hey Talkrum.. .not packed but I use trips to Amsterdam to buy a whole new wardrobe including shoes as its the only time I ever buy new clothes. In the last couple in
Of decades...I also had a purple gonzo t shirt made for the occasion.

Hello Doc, I am really buzzing about 420 this year - possibly caused by chronic trapped wind (aka Trump anxiety disorder) - or the anticipation of sampling rosin for the first time or meeting all the gang again. I too have new stuff to parade - you will see why @420!
Also - I discovered that an ACD contributor of yesteryear, Luvtick is in town.
Did I say I can't wait?

That still leaves two slots open. My question is if we dont get two more do we still get those drinks. I mean it would already be included in the final bill anyway.

[Penna]

Will try to check in when we arrive be cool to bump into some people and get some recommendations. Going with a couple of friends so il see how we're all suited.
But damn we looking forward to it!!!

[talkrum]

10 days to blast off. This will be my 4th 420 bash.
Just puffing on my meds atm - thin mint jealousy - very nice indeed.
My favourite reporter is in town atm & my mate Donald T didn't nuke us last night. Life is good. Roll on 420.

The boat is now officially full. Please bring me a gram of Cali Weed as your ticket still. Or if you know your going to be at The Stud on 4/20 wait until then to get it.

[talkrum]

I am now in full menu surfing mode and prepping a little list. Just spied Old School Haze from De Dampkring -earthy and fruits and a strong catpiss smell! - should be nice on the boat.

[talkrum]

6 days to go - but who's counting? I am buzzing and praying Trump is taking a long nap.
