The Annual Four-Twenty Gathering - 20th April 2022

[Ghost]

All true. Now I'm picturing this epic crawl from Black Dog via Susies, Big Shots Plug, Bottle, Flying Dutchman and CoffeeshopAmsterdam Café to Batavia, taking in all of the coffeeshops along the way.

I blame this nice Brooklyn Sunrise in my Volcano.

Actually, I'm a bit concerned about all this bar dreaming, we're supposed to be a coffeeshop directory!

speaking for myself, I am in town to go to as many coffeeshops as possible that are worth visiting and smoke and blaze it up as much as possible and will also chuck some edibles down my gullet for good measure and of course i will be looking to have plenty of dabs if possible and if there is a few shrooms floating about i may have a few of them to , personally I do not drink a great deal nowadays and a couple of jars of something spread out over the evening will be enough for me. Mike is the same really will only have a few beers over the course of the evening while smoking . We in town to Blaze

As for this 'Epic Crawl' you forgot to add Stones to the list and am not sure how far I would get if we were having a beer in every stop and a smoke in every shop between bars think I would most probably stop in a coffeeshop after the 1st or 2nd bar and stay there a coffeeshop crawl in an area would suit me way better personally

The Brooklyn Sunrise sounds very nice and something I think I would like to smoke on a lovely sunny morning for a good start to a day

I now think a 'Home' Coffeeshop would be a good idea

[Ghost]

What will everybody's 1st smoke purchase be when they hit town or what is your go to flower when in town

Mine was always Super Lemon Haze from Coffeeshop Greenhouse (that dab hit me as i had Barneys here before i noticed) along the Haarlemmer straat along with one of their overpriced breakfasts and an orange juice, then would chill for the first couple hours in there. As we are getting into town in the evening this time that will not be happening and also the Super Lemon Haze has not been all that for a good few years from there now, always seems to be bottom of the tub, so do not frequent as much as I used to in the past.

So this visit we will head straight out of Central Station and move towards Het Gelderse for our 1st purchase of this trip and if we have the time will also head over to Coffeeshop Solo for a quick pick up and then make our way down to our digs and then to Coffeeshop Carmona for our meet up and T 'n' T at 10pm ish with any other fellow ACD er's in town.

I am thinking of scrubbing/cancelling the T 'n' T 'Dab 'n' Press session at Coffeeshop Old Church on the 21st at noon as I am thinking it may be a bit of a rush etc before heading to Lemmings T 'n' T at Coffeeshop Het Ballonnetje and I would rather not be rushing around when trying to press material out. What does everyone think would be better to put this one off

I say keep it, but maybe move it back a hour, to 11:00. That still gives us 3 hours at The Old Church. I think the Ballonnejte is only a 10 -15 minute walk away, so we should be good.

For me I'm going to try Sativa's in the morning, hybrids in the afternoon, and Indica's to finish off the evening.
We'll see how that pan's out.

Have a fantastic 420 folks. Sadly, due to the P&O situation and our flight cancellations from January we are not risking another attempt to get over this year any time soon.

Smoke up a phat one for me and have the best of times ya'll!

Much love

[Tokeing tom]

I would have liked to be there for 420 and to meet up with you guys but due to work commitments it was not possible, I will be in town however on the 27th which I have just discovered is Kings day. I don't know a lot about it but apparently there's a good buzz around the city for it. Have a great time for 420 lads I'm looking forward to some good reviews on where to make my purchases a week later Tom

[AzLaker]

I have an old iPad I'm taking with me, so it will make it easier to write down comments, then using my iPhone. In my stoner state who knows what will happen, so please bare with me. But I will definitely try and type something at each coffeeshop and give a update.

Thanks man that would be great, have a great time, not long now

Yes it could be moved forward to 11am-11.30am to give a little extra time in there and see how it pans out while there and hope the product on their menu is worth a squishing and it's a and not a situation

Thanks Man will try and get a few reports out while moving around town and keep ya updated on purchase's as we go, hopefully between us all in town we should be able to keep the thread or a live report updated but you know what it is like when a session gets going

[Tokeing tom]

Yes buddy I totally understand you I sometimes struggle to focus on the phone when I'm real stoned but I'm sure you folks will manage something anyway have a great one guys

Bedge, Choppermike and CopenhagenCouple - I notice you all arrive on Tuesday 19th. Assuming you'll miss the proposed excursion to Zandvoort, would you like to propose a venue to meet up that evening? CC's favourite Black Dog for instance?

We already know that the Bat Cave is closed at the moment, although Batavia as a whole is open. That probably takes away some of its attraction. Nuggz expressed some enthusiasm about CoffeeshopAmsterdam Café - the old Rokerij 2 to oldtimers like me. That has a basement although without the view from the bat cave.

Maybe early arrivers AzLaker and Ed the Head can do some reconnaissance for the rest of us and make suggestions for additions to the schedule. In the meantime if anyone wants to add anything else just let me know.

There are loads of places I'd like to get to, having not been over for so long. A ferry trip to Baba, a crawl along Haarlemmerstraat, checking out places like Solo, Gelderse, and Dampkring that people have been enthusing about recently. Not sure how to get all of these into such a short time.

[choppermike]

Cheers Lemming, if things go smoothly I hope to be in Central station by 11am or thereabouts, so hoping to get smoked up ,checked in , bike sorted and be at Siberie by 1' ish. If I'm late I'll either follow you out to Zaandvoort or meet up whereever is selected , but Black Dog is good Did I see there's a WhatsApp group , shall I send you my number ?

See everybody soon

Doesn't sound to good that the 'Bat Cave' is closed I'm happy to go with Nuggz recommendation and check out CoffeeshopAmsterdam Cafe if the 'cave' hasn't opened up by the time we all get into town. We will find a suitable place either way.

Must agree there is not enough time to visit all the places that I wish to whilst in town in the limited amount of time but am going to give it a dam good try and maybe some will just have to be a fly 'n' buy. Quite like the sound of a crawl along Haarlemmerstraat been a long time since i have visited every shop in that street - would we have the time

Sounds Good expect we will hang at Siberia for a little bit maybe have a smoke before we head off, so you should have time to do everything and make it

I noticed that Coffeeshop Yanks is having the upstairs of it's shop refurbished at the moment, hopefully they will have it re-opened by the time we roll in to town, that is where the pool tables etc were.

Congratulations on the ACD crew program, unfortunately we can't be yours. Traveling only by car, since we are always with our canine family, this time the work does not give us time for travel. We will follow you in your smoky raids and try to connect via video call on day 420 at 4.20 pm! Please @CC and @Nuggz keep your whatsapp at hand! Have fun for us too ...
