IC 420 Cup 2008 Info

[Guest]

I'm thinking about a apartment, but will see. Something small and nice and close for me to crawl back at the end of the night. lol. Looking forward to meeting you all. Hopefully I will have some nice samples of OE, Trainwreck, and Bangkok Betty to share with all, or till the free samples run out.
Take care,
BG

Thanks for starting the thread. I will definately be there. I too was thinking apartment. Would love to hear about icmers with rentals. Last year I found it all to be very expensive and some of us have challenged currencies. Scruffy...don't know where you're flying from, but my research looks like about $200. more than last year.

Hey Ronley...can't wait to see you.

I might actually enter something this year, I've got a Zamal hybrid lady that is a possibility if she turns out as good as she is looking to be. I reckon I'm gonna rent an apartment this year and bring a few friends with me.

 

[Guest]

No problem Vinevamp. I can't wait to make it out there. I think my plane ticket is going to kill me. I think the apartment isn't going to be bad, since I might share with a person, but the plane ticket is going to be high. It will be worth it in the end. Meeting friends, making new ones and entering a couple of crosses.


British_Hempire, good luck with your Hybird. I'm sure it will do well. Should be a very fun time for sure. Wish we would hear something about the cup, but I'm sure it won't be till after the HTCC.
Take care all,
BG

I only just realised that the 19th April is the first night of Passover and so I will not be able to go to Amsterdam.

 

[Guest]

Sorry to hear it Ronley, you will be missed by me and I'm sure others. I checked on prices for my airline ticket. WOW, a full grand to fly over for about 4-5 days. It's worth it and I'm loooking forward to the trip.
Take care,

why dont u pass on the passover and get a judges pass

 

[Ronley]

why dont u pass on the passover and get a judges pass

OOO, My family will not allow it, Even though its a tempting thought.
Besides, the first night of passover is important to me, family, tradition, sedar night etc.
This year is just bad dates. And I am really sorry to miss it.
I thought of just arriving in Amsterdam on the 20th, it might be a possibility and I will look into it.

 

[scruffy]

My research is showing about 12-1500 for plane and hotel. I'd like to find the cheapest spot to flop down for a few hours, and maybe a hot shower, not a 5-star place. Also, for any US citizens, apply for your passport NOW, even if you're not 100% sure to go. You will avoid much misery and expense. They are averaging a 6-month wait for processing apps.

I am trying to convince 2 friends to come, although I'm almost certain they won't.

Time is ticking away. Hope to see you all there.

[vinevamp]

think if you could do it for us1500 it would be an amazing feat. Ronley...I know family and all but maybe we could have a seder or find one in Amsterdam. You could come early and go home for the second night. Ahhhhhhg... want to see you.

 

[Guest]

It's looking about 1500 USD for me. That's air and small apartment for about four days. I'll be reserving my dates soon enough. Now spending money is another thing. I'm thinking on a average. 100 bucks a day, and zeroed out Credit Card for reserves, lolol. I think 100 bucks should cover meals and smoke for the day. I'm most likely getting a judges pass, so that cover's allot of my smoke. Plus, I'll be mailing smaples to share and that helps a bunch. I think 2000 USD should cover the trip in whole for four days.
later,
BG

 

[vinevamp]

gdw....yeah...us2000 sounds closer. Of course by then our currency may only be worth 2 cents in Euros. Have you found an apartment yet? Creit card for emergncies is good but harldy anyplace takes them. ATMs everywhere. You will also want a tram pass.

Hey VV,

Ya, our dollar isn't doing well. I can't wait till next year. When I head over to spain and convert all my cash to euro's. Then I'll be done with that weak dollar. lolol I've got a couple I'm thinking about. I'm waiting to see about a new job. If all goes well here in the next coupld of weeks. I'm going to pay for my hotel up front and get my ticket also. Think I'm looking at a 120 Euro per a night unit.. As for the credit Card. Just need it for cash and know you can't use them much in most places. Just in case I need cash. Better safe then sorry. I'll be picking up a tram pass once i get the the station. Then I'll be good to go. Can't wait to be kickin it in the dam with friends.
Take care,
BG


PS, First round is on vinevamp, lolol. Jokin

 

[Farmer John]

Im so excited about it, cant wait to catch up with familiar faces and meet all the new ones attending.
Peace

I agree very well said dear brother.

 

[Guest]

no need for a tram pass ,just rent a bike or walk ,
Amsterdam is a great city for getting lost in an u never know when your going to stumble across your favourite new coffeshop and weed ,,+u can join trichomefarmer on his bike tour looking for hash

 

[Farmer John]

I miss Amsterdam. Gotta get back.

 

[vinevamp]

Last year walked my footsies off and that was with the tram pass which also gives you a night bus pass. No bikes for me. OOOh splat...there goes the high tourista down into the cobblestones, run over by a bike , a tram, and a runaway cart of tulips.

gdw...I'll buy you that first round.

 

[baccas125]
