The Annual Four-Twenty Gathering - 20th April 2025

[jollylittlehun]

After quite a bit of soul searching and a quick financial review I will be there 18th to 23rd April. Really looking forward to meeting the old school as well as the newbies.

I have decided this will be my last year after being there at the beginning. A number of reason but primarily the change in culture in Dam and the escalating cost. Shame but all good things come to an end.

On a positive note I will be staying in a really cool hostel (Bunk Hotel) just across the river in the north of the city a very short hope over to the action - yah. Stayed there last year a very cool place.

As my plans have been uncertain until today I have a lot of reading to catch up on to get up to speed with the stonner plans

Looking forward to it! I think there's one space left on the smoke boat Saturday 930pm. Ask @ghost if you want to come aboard.

[Lemming]

Thanks much @brufy. The weather is looking very promising this year, compared to last. It would be nice to get out of town, fingers crossed. Hopefully one year soon our paths will cross. Time is running out for me from going almost every year.

[jollylittlehun]

Great gifts and prizes @ghost

[Lemming]

@Ghost - Wow!

[Lemming]

Getting very close now.
Still trying to think of all those things I should see and do that I'll probably remember when I get home.

[TransApenninesCouple]

Good morning crew, we are almost ready to leave too. Friday we travel from Italy then Switzerland and Germany. In the evening meeting with our marok21 in his city and the next day we will meet again for the boat trip. A good trip to all the departing, see you soon.

Nice!
Please try to drag Marok to Amsterdam with you.
See you soon.

[Lemming]

Less than 3 days left to get myself organised

I'm a bit worried, though. Igraine and I are hoping to meet the rest of the crew in Siberie on Thursday evening but most of them will be at Bushdocter in the afternoon for a serious dabbing session. Kimble is threatening to be armed with a massive arsenal of weapons of mass stoner destruction so it's possible that nobody will survive to make it as far as Siberie. This Gathering might be over before it's begun!

See you all soon. Can't wait.

I seem to have a lot of gifts/prizes and only a hand luggage bag to fit it all in with my clothes and all my smoking essentials this should be interesting

It's going to be a Fantastic 420

[heisenberg4202025]

Ever since I started smoking up, it’s been my dream to be in Amsterdam on 420, and its finally coming true!!
I’ll be in Amsterdam from 19th to 21st, and I’m really excited to meet all my fellow stoners!!!

Peace
