Hey Briteside me old mate. i'm so glad to hear you will be there too. that means i better bring extra bubble eh? lol. i can't wait....

Hey Mopple, the CC cup you can only enter as a coffee shop or a seedcompany. i don't know the entry conditions.

the 420 ic mag growers and breeders cup is for anybody who has grown some cannabis to enter as long as he has 1 onze to put forward as an entry. but last time there was no official 420 cup so we just all met up and had a smoke out with our strains and bubble hash.

got my flight organized just now. so this amsterdam trip has become reality, lol. just wondering where to stay now?

For people staying for 3 or more days an apartment is cheaper and bigger than a hotel.

Glad ya pulled the trigger gaius and made it happen.....should be good times indeed and hope to crack a couple of cold ones with ya bro and meet some fellow ic'ers......
 
I would not go...

I would not go...

even if they paid me to come.

I have witnessed some 10 HTCCups in my life, far too much, seen too much, always left with a bad taste.

I gave up on it last year, when I did not go, eventhough I was in Holland at the time.
Better spend your money on bud in coffeeshops that don't compete.

@ Trichy + Niemand....I agree with both of you gents and appreciate your bleek disenchanted accounting of the cup.............agreed your probably not going to sample the "finest" ganj around but that should not be the pursuit of the trip imo..........

Last time i checked Amsterdam has much to offer and there are a ton of places to kick it at.......so if you wanna hang out with some fellow growers or some friends ya have around the globe, why the hell not meet up and have a good time.........don't know if i'll pick up a pass but at the same time 200 dolla is not going to break me piggy bank..........i work.......haha

to surmise: no, you will not probably smoke the dankest of the dank.....unless your rapping out with MOD......but if your looking to down a couple of cold ones and are not going to celebrate thanksgiving.........then why not go?

unless that is you've lost the gene for good times!

I'm going to leave the politics at the door and just hang out with some good friends.....hope to see some others do the same............

peez and all that shit
somoz

No.... I agree that IF you just want to go and hang out with like minded people then the cup is FINE.... Id save the judges pass BUT... if youd NEVER done it, Im not going to fault you.... There ARE people who believe it or not stay for only a day or 2 and often they will either give away their laminate when they leave or sell it for a nominal fee.... A single days expo is also a consideration... BUT again, I fault NO-ONE for going and having a good time! The LOWER your expectations the better your time..... I WILL be there so any ICMmember who wants to have a little mini-cup on the rooftop garden of a Jordaan apartment just HOLLER!!

Also, its a SHAME that Nol isnt going.... He was ALWAYS the biggest Rock Star at the cup!! Just walking through it and he would draw a crowd....


BUT how fair IS the HTCC when it wont even include Nols shops in Haarlem because they dont trust american stoners to get to Haarlem and back... And in a way its true because Katsu or Kashmir Lounge or even Branden Zend gets less judges because they are not centrally located!

At least the 2 years I did the 420 cup we took a trip to Nols and ANYONE heading to A'dam for the 1st time for the cup BE SURE to leave time to go to Haarlem and visit Nol!

So again... I dont want to disparage ANYONE.... EVERYONE is welcome to go and even to buy a judges pass.... I was just stating my experience with the cup and thats not even talking about How to win a cup by having the best parties, by the best giveways, or about how it was documented that the Green House manipulated a cup (AKA Stole), or how racism prevented the winner of the blind cup in 2001 (Hash Cup) from even KNOWING they won until the literature for paying for the next cup came out! (The Dolphins)

So.... I have my problems with the ORGANIZERS although I publcly hoped for the best when Steve took the helm again and 420Tours was kicked to the door! I have NOTHING but love for the people who attend!

I hope I furthur explained myself BUT from reading it.... probably not! :joint:

Hey Nol.......

How about putting up your letter of a few years ago about the Cannabis Cup.... I used to have it but a drive crash lost it!

There were 2 different versions, If I remember correctly, one of them ended with its time for the Dutch to take control of the Cannabis Cup! Now, in hind sight, considering (like I said above) the Steve, ignoring the Dutch partners advice about keeping all the samples in 1 place and Steve getting busted (See I got busted at the Peace Cup) and all the hash was confiscated... Considering that even after 420Tours left things REALLY havent gotten any better.... MAYBE its time to reconsider that thought!!
