Day 5: Sat. November 23, 2013

I inhale deeply as I am gently awakened by tiny kisses, licks, and even teeny nibbles as they follow the outline of the Amsterdam XXX tattooed on my hip. Synchronized with my exhale I roll onto my back so the kisses, licks, and nibbles have more real estate. By now I know I’m not dreaming. Oh no…this is as real as it gets. Bong is looking up at me at the same time I open my eyes; I know he’s smiling back because I can see it in his eyes…

Wowzers…

Ok then…let’s move on before this needs to go in some other forum… lol…

I LOVE MORNINGS!!!

This particular morning I am loving the shower even more and as a result, I encourage Bong to go to Barney’s without me. He is finally convinced that I am actually serious and heads out; I enjoy a long soak in the hot water.

When Bong arrives to pick me up, I am fresh and ready to begin my day! As I put my layers of jackets on, Bong tells me Hide and Tomoya were at Barney’s and Elaine is working this morning. When he left, he told Hide and Tomoya to meet us at Bluebird. They are walking, so they get a head start as Bong has to come back to Voyagers to get me. Regardless of the extra distance, Bong and I still get to Bluebird before the boys.

Kees and Jessie are in their normal spots as we get inside, and we join Kees at his table. Jessie chats with us a bit until Kees chases him away to work. When Hide and Tomoya finally arrive, we all move into the tobacco room since no one is in there at the moment. Bong has already purchased more Kali Mist and I eagerly fill the bong with the green goodness. In November 2013, 1.2 g of Kali Mist sells for 12,50 Euro. I like it again and draw a again. lol… Our caffeine intake is tended as is our THC intake and a while later we all decide to go up to Voyagers. Today everyone will congregate at Voyagers so we can make our trek to the Amsterdam Roest to pick up our judges’ passes!

We park the scooter on the side of the Voyagers building and the moment we turn the corner, there are birds, birds, birds everywhere eating…what are they eating?? OMG! LOL!! They are eating the rest of the Shoe Cake! LMFAO!! Here’s how it plays out:













Voyagers has some nice Lemon Bubble today and some is added to our ever-growing stash. Eventually everyone shows up: Hide, Tomoya, The One Who White’d, phil, Ravine, Matty, Bong and me. Once the essential grams are purchased and several cones twisted, we are all out the door and off for the journey to The Roest. Join us:













































We made it! Finally!! Over bridges and under tunnels! The passes are being distributed in the bar, the same as last year. The crew pile into the bar area and we all claim our passes. Bong and I are first so as we wait for the others, we smoke the Lemon Bubble from Voyagers and I take more pics.





The last of us are wrapping it up inside, so Bong and I head outside.



Work is still in full swing in order to get the venue ready for tomorrow. A group of people are trying desperately to move a huge concrete block. One of our own helps out…Now, be nice and no one call the person out…



Passes in hand, we all begin the voyage back to Voyagers, being the voyagers we are… lol… More pics along the way:









Bong can’t resist the fish counter and I’m a little hungry too. A couple years ago Strawberry Soul said to try the kibbeling, so I get some of that while Bong gets his fishy fish fish…











The sidewalk reappears and we cross the canal, only to see Gas on the other side, also returning to Voyagers! He joins our group and walks the rest of the way back with us.







Yikes! Voyagers is PACKED when we get back!! Hide, Tomoya, and The One Who White’d decide to go find some space cake; we go upstairs to put away our jackets. Lucky for us, the futon/couch is open so we quickly snap up the real estate. The boy who looks like my friend was here earlier when we peeked into the mad crowd, but he seems to have left now. I think he shows up later, but my notes are not too clear…imagine that…

Gas has also claimed a spot and he comes over to give me a little nugget of something. He can’t remember what it is at the moment, but he says he’ll tell me when he does remember. He’d better hurry because once I start smoking it…lol… Seriously, I nearly smoke it all and he still hasn’t remembered. So, I have no idea what strain it is, but I liked it enough to smoke it all! Thanks, Gas!

Why I’m left alone, I don’t know, but I’m left alone in Voyagers for a little while. I’m fine…I have plenty of weed and a bong…no worries! Without the pressure of others waiting to hit the bong, I take my sweet time de-stemming each and every bowl to my own satisfaction. (Winnie says it looks like salt when I’m done with it…lol…) The beauty of removing every stick is it lessens and sometimes knocks out any coughing! I am SO down with not coughing!! I write that I become quite the spectacle: a lone girl hitting a bong and blowing out giant hits with minimal coughing! The power of de-stemming!! (The boys in the corner were coughing their heads off after every hit!!)

The long walk to and from the Roest combined with lots and lots of bong hits has made me tired. When Bong gets back, we go upstairs for nookie and a nap… (did I say that out loud?)

We are sure to be downstairs again before anything major has time to happen…lol… The place is already full of ACDers. Sam Seed and Domina Haze are here…Soapy is here with is mate…The One Who White’d has befriended a new guy who says he’s from Kentucky and they are smoking and vaping up a storm (it’s the new guy’s first day in Amsterdam…) In general, the party atmosphere is complete!

Sam Seed soon has us all laughing our asses off…he does his impression of Bong, American accent and all. I must say it was the most amusing thing I’ve heard in a long time…it was horribly awesome!! We are still laughing when in walks Matty with phil, Hide, and Tomoya. They just got back from the football game and their team won 3-0! Yippee!!

Meantime, The One Who White’d and his new friend go outside for a cigarette. Domina Haze notices the new guy out the window leaning over looking at something. He brushes it off until he looks back again SEVERAL minutes later and he’s STILL bent forward, so he is now curious and goes outside to see what the hell is so interesting. That’s when it happens.

The new guy tips forward and BLAM! faceplants into the cement window sill and falls to the ground. Domina Haze runs inside and tells everyone some dude just whitey’d outside and he’s bleeding from his face! He grabs a chair to take out to him and Matty, Bong and maybe some others go outside. New guy tries to get up and BLAM! faceplants again! Hits the same exact spot on the wall AND on his face. There is now blood everywhere. Matty tries to help and gets blood on his jacket. Bong reaches down to help new guy up and he comes up swinging! (He later says he didn’t know what happened…he thought someone punched him and knocked him out!)

Since there is blood everywhere an ambulance is in order. The excitement continues as the flashing lights and loud sirens near the shop. Poor new guy (shall we call him Faceplant? No...he joins ACD later as Trashcanman...) is carted away. His first night in Amsterdam he loses a fight with a cement window sill, is lifted into an ambulance and taken to the emergency room. First day is a success? Or not?

Once everyone’s nerves return to normal, we continue smoking Lemon Bubble from Voyagers and some Tangerine Dream Sam Seed shares. Conversations all revolve around the magnificent faceplant we all witnessed. The One Who White’d can’t believe his new friend just whitey’d. LOL… By the time we see Polish arrive to take over the night watch, we are ready for retiring upstairs anyways. Good night is said and hugs, handshakes, and fist bumps are exchanged.

Some of us mention that we’re a bit hungry and phil says he has the perfect place. We follow him here:



OMFG! THANK YOU phil!!!!!!!!!

Bong and I walk back to Voyagers and head upstairs, still marveling at the freakin’ awesome waffles AND the ambulance action. As Bong is in the bathroom, I turn out the lights to see if I can see the shadows I’ve seen for the last 3 years. Yes! They are visible…so I get out the camera for one more shot:



Bong thinks I’m crazy and says it looks like teeth to him…lol…

The camera is turned off one last time today as we are turned on one more time today…

Sleep? Not just yet…

[Trashcanman]

Whaa,ha,ha,ha

That about sums it Up !

After goin to work the day before, not sleeping on the plane,
visiting 5 shops before arriving at voyagers, well let's
just say the spoon finished me off.
Never had so much fun in my life, and by the way i don't
regret a bit of it

After my last smoke smothered in spoon, i found myself
somewhere in the twilight zone or in orbit ?
I was sitting on one of the black plastic chairs on your
left, and some of us noticed that i was totally spaced out.
I could hear them saying like "time to go home" and stuff and
thought to myself good idea.
Nobody was with me when i stumbled out, i just noticed that
it wasn't such a good idea because i stopped outside by the window
leaning against the sill, then thinking "shit this doesn't make
for a good sight totally bombed out in front of Voyagers" so i
wanted to get away as quick as possible.
Three steps is all it took, and suddenly the floor jumped
at me
Well got up again and.. drum roll..here i go again.
I made it under the window and at that time i see Matty,Sam,Bong
and Toww at my side.
If it appeared that i was swinging, believe it wasn't, Bong and Sam
were trying to get me upright, and i was lookin' for there arms for
support.
In front off me to the left was Matty grabbing my backpack, I
remember him saying:" don"t worry, take off the backpack, I'm
not gone steal it".
In the instant i saw his face and the concern in his eyes, i knew i could trust him.
After that everything gets a little hazy.
Remember the Ambulance ride was kinda fun, because i sobered up,
gave the medic my info, and laughed telling him what happened.
Guess they realized i was ok again, because they dropped me off
near the bull dog were i stayed during the cup.


When i came into Voyagers the next day, i went straight to the
counter and apologized to Highly Blessed and Danny, like
a thousand times, they were really cool about it, thank god.
When i was so bombed out standing outside, i didn't think
about myself, i didn't want to give Voyagers a bad rep.
That's why i wanted to get away, that didn't work.

I can not thank Matty,Sam,Bong,Toww and Domina Haze enough for looking
after me, guys thanks a bunch.
No need to say I'm glad to see some of you for this years cup
again.
Also thanks to HB,Missus HB,Danny and Andy for being so cool
about it.
Was back in the Dam for New Years,420 and a long weekend this
year and every time i point to my right eye, they start
laughing asking how i been doing

As usual luvetick, outstanding reporting on your side, never
forget you looking at me the next day concerned and worried
about my stupid butt.

Learned my lesson

[luvtick]

I am SO glad you told your side, Trashcanman! My notes are 100% 2nd- and 3rd-party accounts!! I'm even MORE glad that you're ok after that...

Day 6: Sun. November 24, 2013

The previous day’s walking is sure to have exhausted the two of us, so I’m quite sure we will sleep late this morning. Early birds, however, will always be early birds and we are up before the sun. Lovin’, touchin’, and squeezin’ all seem to occur at the same moment. In fact, a lot happens all at the same moment…and THAT’S the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it (uh huh, uh huh)!!

Discussion about altering morning plans takes place as we dress and I primp, with us finally deciding to hit Green House this morning. Our usual first stop of Barney’s is nixed because they are not a Cup entrant and we need to start collecting the entries. Plus we are going to hit the expo today as well.

The same route is followed; we just park sooner. Across the street is our final destination and we navigate with ease. No bicycle-near-misses or anything! Being so early, the place is not full. A table is open right next to the drink bar and we slide in. Since they serve breakfast here, we ask for menus and prepare to order food! Bong orders what he wants and I get a toasty, milk, and a latte, exactly what I want! While we wait, Bong and I go up to the bud counter to purchase the entries: Chemdog Cream (import hash), Lemon Crystal (Nederhash), and Flower Bomb Kush.

Breakfast is not ready when we get back to the table, but our beverages are awaiting our return. I decide to use my milk for the instant breakfast (now called Breakfast Essentials, btw) and drink that along with the latte while I wait. Bong prepares our bong with water and I break up some Flower Bomb Kush. I note that it “tastes like a kush.” That’s probably a good thing…

The big dude next to us strikes up idle conversation and we find out he’s from Ohio. So many people we meet are from Ohio. It’s so weird. When our food arrives he ends our conversation by giving us his sample of Lemon Crystal, as he doesn’t smoke concentrates. Thanks, big dude from Ohio!!

Instead of taking the scooter to the expo, talk of the party bus convinces us to bus instead of scoot. We do, however, have to scoot back to Voyagers. When we do roll up, we almost lose our balance because of the laughter! Highly Blessed and Matty are squeezing into HB’s teeny, little car:



What an awesome little vehicle though! We’re still giggling as we go inside the coffeeshop and immediately we see MJ and Lion of Judah!! Yayayayayay!! They are getting settled in and we are waiting for all to gather for the pilgrimage to the party bus! In the meantime, however, we are compelled to smoke some as we wait. When everyone who is going is ready, we walk over to the Victoria Hotel to catch the bus:





The bus driver is CRANKING Bob Marley and everyone passing the bus looks inside. Some people stop to take photos…The bus is painted all colorfully and everyone inside is smoking pot. Each time the doors open, a whiff of smoke hits their collective nostrils. Some of our fellow passengers are as amused with the passersby as the passersby are with our fellow passengers! The ride is so amusing since there is loud music and the air is filled with smoke and expo-anticipation.

Traveling is much quicker when you are smoking and someone else is driving! We arrive at the Amsterdam Roest in no time and shuffle inside the venue. Right away we are given our schwag bags.



Walking from booth to booth, we see all the latest-and-greatest the cannabis world has to offer: from seeds to vapor pens to hash-making gear, and even magic truffles (not sure what truffles have to do with cannabis though…). Bong actually sees a bong he likes and purchases our new bong-for-the-trip! Some booths are offering dabs, and I partake in as many as I can…lol… Bong has found the Big Buddha booth and is talking to Milo, Big Buddha himself. I join them just as Milo pulls out this silver hard case and opens it, reminding me of several scenes in Pulp Fiction. Instead of Milo’s soul glowing from inside, several hundred packages of seeds stare back at us. Milo begins to pull pack after pack out, handing them all to Bong. Holy Cheese, Buddha! Bong gets every cheese in the BB catalog, I think!

After visiting every booth, we head over to the seating area for a short rest. There we run into Sam Seed, Domina Haze, Matty, Tomoya, Hide, The One Who White’d, and Trashcanman. I take a couple group shots of our motley crew and Bong and I decide to head back downtown. The party bus is waiting to be filled with stoners and we oblige by climbing aboard. The ride back is more of the same, with a different driver. We are let off in front of the Victoria Hotel, exactly where we were picked up, and walk the short walk back to Voyagers.

I am SO happy when I get back and see my friend Stephanie has arrived!!! She grows back in California, privately and for a dispensary. She’s also the one responsible for all the great California wax we’ve been vaping… Yay!! She decided to come to the Cannabis Cup just 2 or 3 weeks prior to leaving…she asked me where I stay and are there any rooms. Unfortunately Voyagers is completely sold out. I looked up the France Hotel just next to Mollie Malone’s Irish Pub…and (OMG) they had a room and that is where Stephanie is staying…just 1 minute walking…or less…to Voyagers! I run up to our room and get the box Stephanie has sent and give it to her. She takes it back to her room to unpack and returns with bunches of goodies…the best of all is this SHATTER she has. Purple Nepal shatter. OMG. It tastes FANTASTIC… Bong loves it and is proud to flex the shatter all trip, right alongside Spoon! ! Good thing is, Stephanie actually knows MJ and Lion of Judah, having met them at my house, so she’s already got friends here!

As probably imagined, Stephanie is not the only one inside Voyagers. In fact, the place is jam-packed with ACDers from all over the world: Colina, Kushler, Jack Ganja, Sam Seed, Domina Haze, Gapie, Bleak, MJ, Lion of Judah, Tuttiflutes and OhmSweetOhm. When Tutti and Ohm arrive, I’m so excited to see them I try to climb over Bong to get at ‘em for hugs. My foot or my shoe gets caught on something and I nearly fall straight over. Bong, again, is there to catch me before I land on the floor. Thanks, babe!!

Tonight is going have a bunch of different parties filling the Melkweg. Voyagers is hosting a party tonight so everyone is wanting to eat dinner and get ready before heading out. We follow suit, except we arrive at the Melkweg right at 8pm. That is WAY TOO EARLY in Amsterdam. We walk into the room and there is a stage and Voyagers logos all over the place. We climb up to the balcony as it seems that is the only place with available seating. We get seats all the way over in the corner. There is music blasting and the lights are low. In the balcony, there are no lights…lol… Bong and I break out the bong and I de-stem in the dark. There is only recorded music being played right now and we bob our heads to the beat with everyone else.

Slowly the place fills up. More and more people arrive and every available spot is taken. I have to say I am up here making my escape plan if someone gets too stoned and lights the place on fire. I am 100% ready to slide down the curtain that drops from the balcony to the floor, fireman-style… lol… Stoners are pretty savvy with lighters so that never happens… whew… We must be easy to spot since everyone seems to find us! Even Highly Blessed comes upstairs to say hello. He invites us backstage, but we don’t want to lose our prime viewing/sitting spot.

We are there a good 3 hours and the main act has not yet arrived; I can’t remember the reason. Bong and I get a little claustrophobic up in that balcony and go outside for air. Once we get downstairs, we discuss taking the scooter back up to Voyagers. While standing outside we talk with Danny and Highly Blessed, who are also getting some fresh air. We are still deciding what to do when Sam Seed and Domina Haze show up; we all chat for a bit and everyone tries to convince us to stay. We opt out and take the scooter back to the top corner of the city.

The decision to be alone is always the right one. We make the most of retiring for the night a bit earlier than usual. We don’t sleep right away; there will be plenty of time to sleep this vacation. Instead, we enjoy the sweet pleasures we know oh-so-well by now, more than once. When the sandman does finally return, we’ve already beat him to the punch, both of us in blissful, restful sleep.

Goodnight, Amsterdam.
