Just wanted to get in the first picture. This is The Book at Nes on 20th April 2006.

Just got back and very tired so only a brief report. Met up with AzLaker, who did a fine job of getting everyone together, Lafe, Zunkii, BluMing, DC from Nes, Kim and Judy (Bluelaru) with their mardi grass beads, Old Hippie Dave, who organised a serious session at Amnesia on Friday and lots of Channels people including Blueberry, The Guest and many others.

oh man i wish i was there !!! will have to hit up 07's hook up! hey rez man you gotta get out there "the book" is waitin for ya!

Good to see my name in the book once again and I'm glad that the 4/20 trip went so well (obviously down to some real hard work beforehand by everyone concerned.

I think Rez should DEFINITELY have his picture in that space. His idea and, in my opinion, his book when all the pages have been filled.

Nice to see that everyone kept their inserts along the same lines as mine. I thought at the time that it was a bit short and unoriginal and that more people would take advantage of the available space on each page to do something really artistic that would blow everyone else out of the water.

Apologies for going off course here, seeing my page just brought back a lot of memories.

Wow thats a great photo m8!! I wanna sign it too, hopefully it wont be too long!!

I reckon it needs some more decorative drawings / self portraits / photos tho! Come on, use some imagination people...

A couple more pics of last week.

As might be expected, we were all very stoned and untogether (well, I was anyway ). Nevertheless, we did all manage to get to de Kuil/420 on Thursday afternoon. The large table at the back (where the pool table used to be) was free so we commandeered it.

The Volcano, complete with monster bag, was pressed into service to consume some killer weed. At one point a half-filled bag was abandoned on the table – the Volcano equivalent of leaving a joint in the ashtray. [As an aside, the cleanest, best-maintained Volcano I found was in Paradox.]

As we were becoming as one with the table, Bluelaru turned up and brought me back into the room by distributing beads. This was a brilliant and well-timed gesture to wake us up, provide something to wear and to fiddle with – the perfect toy for a stoned person. I’ve still got my beads as a souvenir.

As the afternoon proceeded, we were gradually surrounded by an army of “Channels” people adorned with t-shirts and name badges displaying their corporate logo. It has to be said that this was a very sensible and practical move but it did strike me as rather funny at the time.

By twenty past four the Volcano, pipes of crystals and succession of joints had taken their toll and we were all pretty subdued. A feeble cheer went up and I slumped back on to the table again, still grinning inanely.

De Kuil wasn’t too crowded. The Channels gang filled the rear section but there weren’t too many other punters in the place. Still, as planned, at some point we adjourned to Nes via a food stop.

The fresh air brought me round sufficiently to remember to get my camera out. I pointed it vaguely down the table in Nes (because I couldn’t see anything on the screen) and snapped away a few shots.



Unfortunately I didn’t get everyone but there were lots of other cameras about so I’m sure more will appear here and elsewhere later. L-R: DC, AzLaker, half of Kim and Judy, Lafe and BluMing (I've disguised their faces though).

On Friday, Old Hippy Dave held a party at Amnesia. There was food, including some lovely falafels and cheese, and some serious consumption going on. The Volcano was in action and this mega-joint with half an acre of Amsterdam’s finest seemed to last forever



More pictures to come …

Thanks for the update ...looks like fun ...and nice to put faces on people ...Channelites wearing badges ? Sounds too much like the old school uniform days ... No thanks . I'm a part of both forums,but I suppose I'd have been an ACDer that night .

I wish I was there for that Blunt Cone. They sell them at Amnesia? Great report, Lem. Makes the rest of us drool all the more for our next trips.

L-R: DC, AzLaker, half of Kim and Judy, Lafe and BluMing (I've disguised their faces though).

...and nice to put faces on people ...

It certainly is nice to match a face to a name. I was lucky enough to catch the pic before the blurry disguises.

Name badges sounds far too organised for a bunch of smokers.

The Book







I've got a couple more pics of OHD's party but I might need to disguise the faces on those too.

Regarding the blunt cone, I think OHD brought it with him.

WWWWHHHHHOOOOOOO HHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I't nearly 2am and I'm still reading the messages posted while I was away and I came across this one.... I'm stoned now, big time, first smoke in 8 days and I'm wasted.

then I see "The Book" and page one with it's message... I I burst into tears of joy, laughter and shock

The mass of overwhelming emotion that went between shock, amazement, unbelievable, this IS real, an idea I had and put to the forum is alive and kicking was unreal.

Only two words can equal the input and effort each of you have made in the helping in the making of "The Book"... and they are :

"Thank You"

... and I really hope you all know how sincerely that is said. I will be there ASAP I will put my phot on page one along with "My Message" ... If you wan tot know what "My Message" says, you'll have to go and read it yourself. As Clause # 1 of the document entitled : "The Book" - "Rules and Conditions of use" clearly state that : " Until Rezin_8_ed has completed page one of "The Book" photographs of page one are allowed to be taken and published on the internet. However, the clause goes on to read: Once Rezin_8_ed has signed "The Book", left his picture along with "My Message" the ONLY method of viewing page one of "The Book" shall be "with your own eyes"

... please

Rez (proud) in_8_ed

It didn't seem long ago when the idea was first put out by Rez and now we have several entries - awesome! Great pics too Lemming.

Great idea Rez. I aint gonna be there till november again but hopefully it will still be doing the rounds.

Peace.

AWESOme!!

sounds liket he meet was a complete success!!
the blunt cone is crazy.
the book is amazing.

you guys rock!

WOW. Can hardly wait to get there and sign " TheBook" Leave in one week. Looks like you guys had a blast. Just hope you left enough to cover Queen's Day and then some.Meeting w/forum member at Amnesia, then going to check into renting bikes since the apartment we're renting is not close to many cs, except Amnesia and Grey Area (excuse rambling rather baked lol) Anywhooo, will be signing soon, hoping to meet DC ( is Spock thing still on ) keep on tokin or vapin or whatever

I am not a big blunt smoker (I hate the taste of tobacco fouling up my chiba), but that cone makes me want one of my very own to sit in a corner for 20 mins and try to climb the tower of Babel. I have 26 days till I get to sign 'Het Boek'. Twenty-six extremely slow passing days. Well, it used to be 80 days, so I think I can wait.
