AzLaker 420 trip, Day 2

DAY 2/ 420 DAY

After a very long first day I was unsure if hooking up with Zunkii was going to be in the cards, but here I was up at 8:00am and ready to go. A long hot shower to help wake me up was good, plus going down four flights of spiral stairs will keep you alert. A good breakfast and a few cups of coffee and I was off to Pink Floyds. I grabbed the tram and was at Floyds in no time. I walked in the door and hear “AzLaker” from a big guy at the counter, it was Zunkii. We say hello, then I walk over to the lighted box to buy a gram of “ Mother’s Finest” from the budtender. I get an O.J. from the nice girl at the counter and we head to the back. We chat awhile, talking about meeting all the ACD members and a common cause we all have, smoking pot and or hash. Since Zunkii only smokes with tobacco mix, I roll a “J” of Mother’s Finest and get that 1st morning buzz. We hang out till 10:30 and decide to move on to Amnesia. A couple of young guys overheard I used to live in Southern California and after some conversation, asked to come along. I don’t know if they were really buzzed, or what, but they turned around about half way there. Zunkii and I arrived at Amnesia where the Volcano awaited. I think Zunkii bought something I’m not sure, but I got a gram of Amnesia Haze and asked to please fire of the Volcano. Grinded up a nice bud and a few minutes later, I was in a HAZE. Zunkii and I just hung out for awhile, getting to know each other and wondering what it was going to be like at De Kuil’s. As we sat there, a guy and his girlfriend walk by and ask us if we wanted their bag, 2 grams of Blueberry and a gram of Skunk. We politely said no, but they insisted, so we gladly took it off their hands, some tasty herb. We decide to move over to De Kuil’s and see what time they open. We got there before noon and since they don’t open until 12:00, we decide to take a morning walk around the RLD. Saw some nice looking Ladies and as Zunkii pointed out, some men dressed as Ladies. Only in the Netherlands!! We head back to De Kuil’s and talk to William who works there. He said he heard there was going to be a couple of groups, us and channel’s. Since no pool table, which disappointed Zunkii, we saw there was lots of room. I was getting low on cash and since my money was back at Rookies I tell Zunkii good-bye, and I’ll see him back at De Kuil’s around 2:00pm. I get back to the hotel, relax a little and head back out. I walk into De Kuil’s and see Lafe to the left of me and Zunkii to the right. I introduce the two them to each other and the 420 PARTY had begun. We head to the back and see a large table that we declared ACD’s table. One by one people started showing up, Lemming and his Russian spy friend, Blueming, DC, Blularu, Old Hippy Dave and Blueberry. OHD and Blueberry are also part of Channels which had a real nice showing of people, all together, a very nice turn out. Lots of pot and hash were smoked, and personally can’t remember the names of the herb, but good a good time was had. We defiantly hit the Vapo bag at 4:20 sharp. Stayed at De Kuil’s until 5:00pm then off to Nes’s for some more fun.
After a causal walk of the Dam and a slice of pizza to fill the void, we made it to Nes, minus 3 people, whom we somehow lost, what can you say when were all stoned. Bought a gram of Super Silver Haze which DC recommended. Nice taste and smell. We hung out for a couple of hours, yakking it up and having a very good time. Not bad for people I had never meet 36 hours ago. Dinner was on the plan, so we all split up and decided to meet back at De Kuil’s at 10:00pm. I wound up having dinner at Wak to Wok which was good. Had the Curry chicken with rice, plus a cold Heineken. Most of us found our way back to De Kuil’s around 10 and hung out a little while. More herb and before you know it, the night was just about ending for me. I headed back to Rookies to call it a night. The 1st Annual ACD 420 together was history and I’m already looking forward to the next years. AzLaker 8)

Nice write-up, Az. I love reading peoples trip reports. Keep 'em coming. It still seems like forever to me, but I'm already taking notes for my June/July trip. Take care.

Nice one AZ, it’s quite funny that when I read your report, you remembered things about that day that I had forgotten. That was some party, and thanks for not mentioning that I was one of the lightweights who did not make it back to de Kuil at 10pm.

Wish we were back there buddy

hehe as someone said on this forum not too long ago: "becoming a pothead takes time and effort" or something along those lines.. :D if you know who that is, please redirect me to the post.. I can't remember which one it is :(

anyway, Az.. good shit! I had practically the same kind of party in Breda at coffeeshop Mediteranee.. very nice coffeeshop, but ofcourse not even near as cool as those of Amsterdam's Finest :)

wish I was there.. I'll make it next year I think :D !!

peace.

Sounds like a top top day but with all those smokes and all those shops it's certainly not one for the faint hearted.

Glad you all managed to meet up in all of the shops. Doesn't really surprise me that a few members lost their way at some stage.

About the guys who followed you from Amnesia, I would be extremely wary of those types who come up to you (and you're clearly not supposed to be meeting them) and ask where you're from and then say how they've been there and love the place.

They probably thought that you and Zunkii would be too much of a handful and decided to go for an easier target.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. First off, Zunkii your not a lightweight. I hung out with you for 2 1/2 days and you can smoke with the best of them. We will meet each other again, that's for sure.
Yes Epsilon we did. ACD gang got there early, so we had a chance to see who came in from both sides. Some interesting people from Channels, in a good way.
Doog those 2 guys from Calif. actually talked to me first. They really wouldn't a hassel. I think they were a little intimated by Zunkii and me. They were pretty stoned and I think they just wanted to stay close to Centraal Station and not get lost.
Rez_8_ed, 4/20/07 is on my list for vacations next year. I will be there.
As I soon as I figure out how to block out some faces, I will post pictures. AzLaker 8)
