Friday , 19/04/13 -
Get to the airport around 16:00 park up , taken through check-in & security very quickly .
Head to assistance waiting area & notice flight has been put back 45 mins
Off & grab some dinner & Krispy Creme's , then back to waiting , watch our plane land in time for a 19:30 take-off & we're taken into the assistance van & driven to the plane , past the plane , round the plane , then back to where we started , "sorry , there is something wrong with the plane so you have to go back upstairs ".
Up we go , to watch all the planes tyres being changed .
Finally took off around 20:15 ish? uneventful flight , straight through secuirty , dirty looks from people being made to wait 2 mins longer I really don't give a shit about anymore , here's a tip though if you don't want the chance of being made to wait , don't wait at the line which has the assistance gate next to it , ya dumbasses.
After mangling the street name over the phone & waiting at the wrong place for a bit we finally got dropped off round the corner from Voyagers at around 23:30 .
Voyagers was busy but not packed & with our Nes t&t to get to in 25 mins , we pushed on passed to Hill Street Blues on Warm' grabbed some SSH (been good for ages) HSS (back on form , not the best it's been but right back up there) & Top Nepal ( very nice & not a hint of tyre rubber )
Straight out & into the Old Quarter to check in , remembered by the staff so a very warm welcome , into room 21 , ensuite double at the back , street level so completely accessable for us, lovely view looking across the canal to Damstraat & Prix d'Ami .
Roll up & light a j of SSH each while we take 5 mins to chill .
Head out & straight to Nes , get there about 00:15 , quite a few waiting for us despite us being late , Trad, bigguy, Hasj? , Nimrod, Colina , Spidergawd & Daughter , Lemming , DC, Balou,just missed Gapie Matty , Trad was waiting with a space & volcano bag for wifey , j's are passed , we threw a SSH into the mix & got royally wrecked , shitload of bags (bumbleberry? is bloody tasty vaped
Had a great time & left around 01:30 completely blasted , walked up to the square & walked in small circles for a bit while we decided if we were hungry or not , decided on fav chicken down by the Old Church which I usually go to late night/early morn with no probs ,big mistake for me which i'll come back to, we grab a couple of chicken burgers each & went back to the OQ to eat ,smoke (HSS & Top Nepal) & finally crash around 02:30.
Sat 20/4/13 420 420 420
Woke @ 06:15 to a bright morning , opened the big doors while lighting up last night's unfinished j . By 06:25 I was throwing up those burgers so hard my knees nearly gave way , not fun .
Cleaned up & stuck to juice for a while , rolled a few j's for our travels & woke Wifey around 07:30 . Hit the road around 08:30 & headed straight to Barneys Uptown for brekky & our morning T&T
Practically empty when we got there , in, sit, light j, order 2 coffees & 1 milkshake(how thick
Intro between AZ & Wifey done , jwall162 arrives & our little brekky smokey starts , food is ordered & consumed , niether Wifey or I could finish .
Willjay & Robyn (big thanks again for Wifeys maple syrup) , Drugsbunny & i'm sure someone else turned up , could have been treetop but don't quote me on it .
Smoked & chatted until 10:30 ish then made our way towards Betty Boop .
AZ & Drugsbunny? came with us , Wifey did not like the look or atmos in Betty's this time so I just grabbed some Sugar Punch (ok but not as good as last oct) & NYD (smelt ok in the tub but very bland ) & we went straight to Utopia .
We got , A2 Haze(very tasty, lovely early morning smoke) , Amnesia Haze(standard but tasty Am H) , Gaffer ( remember it being a fairly tasty & smooth smoke ) Champagne Haze(tasty & lethal ) & Wappa
We got some drinks , (free drinks for ACD) & settled in
We remember Gapie , AZ, drugsbunny were there Trad & bigguy ???, sorry to anyone else there , there were loads of people loads of smoke going round , we rolled/smoked/passed a j each of everything we brought and we got very wrecked very quickly
Around 12:15 Wifey really started to feel the weed
I headed back for a quick smoke at Utopia with those still there before they went for the webcam wave (anyone manage a pic of this ??? forgot to ask my son ) then back to the OQ to roll a few & wake Wifey, smoked for a bit then headed to Prix .
Got to Prix around 14:45 , straight in , check the menu & decide
2 drinks ordered ,we're shown to where we are sitting , they asked a few people to move to other seats explaining a group meet was happening ( Good on you smirks
Quite a few ACD turned up ,again weed consumption has fucked up my memories of who exactly , sorry , we had a great meet though & smoked a crapload more
I'm sure cattales would have been pleased with us , we smoked it up for her
Matty headed off to Voyagers (asked him to grab a space for Wifey
We hit Voyagers , Wifey got the chair matty had ready , big thanks mate
Had a great 420/16:20 , loads of smoke being passed
Quite a few ACDer in Voyagers
Wifey & I stumbled out around 17:30 & took a slow floaty walk/roll/smoke back to the OQ for dinner .
Quick smoke in the room then into the hotel for munch , Wifey will recommend the half chicken & jacket potato , for me gotta be dutch , hutspot & a big meatball , bloody delicious
Chilled & smoked together until around 20:00 ish then Wifey had a rest/sleep & I headed down to the Nes with orders to come back & wake her around 22:30.
Smoked a load more @Nes again sorry can't remember who was there , I know I wasn't talking to myself lol back for Wifey then back to Nes for 23:00ish .
Ended the night there chatting with Uncle(frosty)Ron & smirks
@smirks did you get the taxi in the end ??
We bid goodnight around 01:00 & walk back with Hillbilly to try & get him a room @the OQ , no luck as they are full but they do agree that "my brother"
Sunday 21/04/13
Wake @ 08:00, Wifey , still soundly sleeping , smoke , roll, smoke while watching Damstraat come to life , wake wifey around 09:00 , go & order brekky , "we'll ring your room when it's ready "
Brekky done , quick smoke , Wifey crashes back out & I head out to Voyagers & Stu's t&t.
Voyagers , Stu's there ,with a few big bags of weed & loads of ready-rolled
Stu lights a j then passes it then lights another so I can't pass the 1st 1 back lol, lights another & passes that around , another , another ,I add a j of Voyagers SLBH into the mix this continues for about an hour , smoke smoke smoke , light more , smoke smoke smoke
Back @ OQ , wake Wifey & soon enough were in Utopia , grab the Honey Haze (ok but not as nice as last oct ) & settle in .
Those we remember , Ingi , Trad , bigguy , Stu, Gapie , AZLaker , Lemming , UR , Hillbilly , was bishy there ??? bleak , slimy1? , smirks , treetop ,again may have been more
Utopia's 2nd place ACD cup was presented & well received
Lots of j's/bongs/pipes were being passed
Around 13:30 , the Haarlem trip group said their goodbyes & 13:45 Wifey decided fresh air was needed on a slow walk towards Spirit
Had a short chat with Uncle(frosty)Ron & whoever else was outside (sorry) & took the slow walk to Spirit , passed a film crew filming something
Got to Spirit , Bleak & slimy1? were just parking their bikes, straight in & through to the back , both sides were open so it was possible to go down to the counter or through to the pinball machines , settled Wifey, grabbed some drinks , went back for weed & trad , bigguy , gapie, smirks , treetop, bleak , slimy1 , stu + 2? others who i've forgot your names (again sorry i'm blaming the weed )had all arrived.
Got the Lemon Haze(very tasty smoke) , which was also mixed with the cheese trad brought & treetops super cream , lovely big mix
Stayed , smoked loads , played loads of pinball , smoked loads more , had a great time
Agreed with Wifey that we would leave around 16:00ish to go grab some dinner & get ready to go to Voyagers for a last smoke
Say our goodbyes , pack up , stu packs up , once outside , Wifeys ready for the journey , I turn around , no stu ? have a quick look back inside & there he is , I can see him standing in the little hallway turning back & forth talking to no-one
Slow walk back across town to the OQ , order dinner , Tomato soup for Wifey & Hutspot & Meatball for me (it really is bloody tasty ) back to room to chill & smoke , knock on door & they have brought our dinner to the room
Munch done we have a smoke & re-check everything & leave for Voyagers around 17:30 .
Thanking the staff for all their help , we take the sad slow walk to the last CS of our trip
Voyagers , arrive around 17:45 ,taxi booked for 19:00 , HB,Mrs HB?, trad, bigguy, matty , gapie , smirks , bishy & mate ? may have been more ACD there , smoked lots , finished our stash (except for airport smokes) & again had a great time .
18:50 came around and a taxi pulled up , went over "taxi for ft, for the airport "? "yes, yes" walking away I hear from beside Voyagers, "i'm your taxi, here's the papers" , turn to see another taxi driver , who was indeed our correct driver , I had a laugh explaining to Wifey that someone was trying to steal us .
Said our goodbyes & see you next time's & the last I heard as I was getting in the taxi was , Trad & bigguy telling the waiting line of cars honking their horns at us to basically "fuckoff & wait, eh " , cheers guys
Short trip to the airport because basically the driver was a nutter , even by Dam standards
At the airport , check us, bag & chair in & go back out for a smoke , 15 odd people by the smoking point , 30 secs after we light our j's , just the 2 of us
Back inside for pancakes , then back out for a last smoke
We had been told to be back at the assistance desk by 20:45 , to be ready for our 21:50 flight .
21:05 , 2 g j's & a pancake each later , we were stoned as fuck , walked through the airport & straight past the desk
They took us straight through security & down to the gate , straight onto the assistance vehicle & out to the plane (another tip here , aimed at easyjet speedy boarders , if you have this but when you try to board the plane a disabled person is boarding & the staff have blocked the front entrance to the plane so they can board, waving your speedy boarding pass at the guy putting said disabled person on will get you nothing but a lost place in the queue to get on at the back on the plane , ok ,got it
Onto the plane by 21:30 & took-off about 21:40/45 , very short flight , landed at 21:38
So just again for Trad
Balance the bag on Wifeys lap & get a "fucking hell that's cold" , "and WET!!!" , into the toilet , wrench bag open & the cartons of chocomel we got for the kids have fucking exploded , lol, big gashes in each side of them , everything is covered in it but it's all good as the stash is unaffected
Out to the car , spark up the Sour Kush (UK) j's we left stashed & drive home , arrive around 22:30ish , say night to the kids , roll & smoke a HSS j & crash out , trip done .
WE LOVE DAM & ACD
