H1gh above Lijnbaansgracht ~ Nevermore

Post by Nimrod »

Where to begin...

Perfect flights and entry into town.

Almost walked right past James at Elandsgracht as I was making way to Eerste Hulp to meet Gapie. Went back to drop his bag at the apartment, then went on to Hulp. Met Stan, had a smoke there, G13 Amnesia and Gardela, before returning to the H1 candy depot for Stan's stuff. :)

Made our way to Voyagers and got the last of what was Starbuck. Dregs. Met Marriageuana (sp?) and found him to be very cool. :mrgreen: Thanks for the lighter, man.
Matty223 was there, and tutti and ohm we met outside as we were migrating to Utopia. Yeah, we had a smoke in Voyagers.

Stan herded us to Utopia, had the Honey Haze there, as Ingi had to deal with a drunken pisser. :evil:
Commited to a 3pm TnT at 't Keteltje, we, matty, james, stan, marriageuana, and myself, left to walk there on a very nice day in North Holland. Sunny and warm for October. Due to reasons beyond anyone's control, only james, stan and i made it there to meet hasj. Had the S5 haze and some nice honey maroc, with the lively conversation with hasj. We were the only non-locals in the place, and it was rather busy. Nice place and will return for more of the honey maroc.

Left stan and hasj, with james, for some much needed food. That pretty much ends the day for us, since we returned to h1 and smoked it a night. Had trouble staying up until 10pm, and we're both up early, gearing up for what is supposed to be a nice day in North Holland. Spireax is due to arrive sometime today, per a cryptic PM. We'll catch up with him sooner or later. Coffeeshop crawl at 2pm today. :mrgreen: Starting to get light, the trams are starting to chime, and it's chocolate muffin time. :)

From Amsterdam, later...

edit - yeah, i've been drinking und schmoking :mrgreen:

Just returned from a nice stampot supper at de Blauwe Hollander with James, and we're smoking it up in H1 with spireax.

Had spireax awaken me earlier, upon his arrival with a buzz from below. Went out on the terrace to tell him that I would be down to let him in, but James had locked me in the flat when he left. See, we had agreed the day before to double lock the door when leaving. Well, when you do that, and the inside keyhole is idiot-proofed, you get trapped. Insert prank-mark here. Ended up air-dropping the keys down to spireax so he could come up and rescue me. My hero... :wink:

Enjoyed the spotty, warm Holland sunshine on the terrace, smoking and relaxing until James returned with his Roor rental. A bite to eat, and we had to leave soon to be at the 2pm Paradox crawl. Met Gapie waiting for us outside Paradox. Not too late, only fifteen minutes or so. Fashionably late. :wink: Had a smoke at Paradox, despite the lack of Finger hash :( and had two of their special cakes to little perceived effect, as usual. Must be immune, because I should have been wrecked, right? No one else showed, so we went off to Funky Munkey at the proper time. Found a mostly empty shop and purchased a g of Super Pollem and warm ears. Warm ears seems a little rough, and the Super Pollem is ok. Right after we arrived, the place filled up nicely, the Trend Setters that we are. Met no other members there, but Gapie heard from bleak, and we were expecting to see him at Eerste Hulp.

Made our way there a little before 5, and secured the Professional Smokers Den behind the pool table. Cool little area with some trippy, photogenic lighting that bleak was getting some footage of. A nice smoke, and we broke off for dinner.

James seems quite happy now that he has a smoking device to rip on. He rolled some decent joints, but enjoys the glass a bit more.

Spireax off to Utopia for some Devils G13 or whatnot and to make a tea delivery. No good Grand Cru to be had, according to Ingi yesterday, and James mentions the same said today. What...the...hell? Can't a brother get some Cru on his holiday? :lol: First that, then no Finger hash at Paradox? :x

I'm going out. James is in for the night after a very long day. Meeting Ron tomorrow morning and beginning the day in smoky, Amsterdam style. :mrgreen:

More, later. :shock:

Damn, was hoping to get some finger hash from Paradox on Monday morning. They were out last April when I was in town, too. :cry:

There is an area downstairs behind the pool table? :? :lol: So I was at 1e hulp at around 17:15 and saw nobody from ACD because you were downstairs? I even had a coffee upstairs, but left after 20 minutes because the music freaked me out... :(
