Who's still in 'Dam from Queen's Day ?

[booblebob]

Anyone still there?

There is going to be an insane happening over the next few days.

I missed the 420 but this is going to be ass kickin too, a million peeps go out to the streets and party, plus all kinds of free and pay trance and other parties in clubs and coffeeshops all over the place. :friends:

Queen's Day = Run for your life.

Queen's Day = Run for your life.

It seems all the wiser anybody who didn't stay for this rubbish festivity

Everywhere was extremely packed inside the city, Rokin was just a pile of people rubbing up against each other but there was still some cool goings on at Rembrandtplein.

Visiting the coffeeshops was enlaced with large groups of people and blown fuse dutch peeps. This Monday the guy at the Sensi Seeds shop on Nieuwendijk seems to have been recovering from a rough night, when asked why he was so happy to be in the shop today, he replied bemusingly with this as of yet undecoded gibber- "And, who are you to JUST that>?¬!", lol. I went on to explain about him fucking himself and he obliged with a similar gesture.

This, I found cute, in another instance I went into some coffeeshop and had a look at their menu, planned on buying some of their impotent schwag and asked the chik to come and serve me .. (politely.. ) ... she went on to play with some rubbish bags, fondling them all over, as if trying to imagine what being garbage, fermenting inside a bag feels and tastes like but at the same time during this deep meditation she mumbled "one myoument sec yaar".. I waited for about 2-3 minutes, hell it was cold outside.. but then I just left which made her immediately exit the deep garbage trance and try get me to come back.. fuck.. don't the dutch know that there's too many coffeeshops to choose from?!!?!?

Most of the weed was good, great NYCD and Sour D going around there. Green Papaya from Kadinsky really Yummy. for the morrocan, the most refreshing I found was Hia at Green Place, it's really pale coloured clean tasting smoke, not shitloads of THC going on in there, but greatly boosted by some Gunpowder (5g for 40Eu at Stix)

Dry mushrooms still available from Concious Dreams and good 12yr+ Peyote can now only be bought in 1 place in the city, they also have 30yr old specimens going for dirt cheap relatively- those have many buttons of high concentrations. Scary.

Amsterdam is a BEAUTIFUL place and every sq. inch of it is breathtaking, BUT SHIT, I don't remember everyone as being so edgy and anti. The rest was Pucka and would be nice to live there.. ride an R6 or someshit in the freezing cold and wet. yikes.

Ill get the pics up soon.

hahahahaha... it seems you've made aquaintance with Dutch customer service...

no tips + good labor laws (hard to lose your job)= slow and lazy service...

fuck man, i've had a meal where my order was taken, my food was there within 10 minutes and then when i asked for the bill it was another HALF HOUR before i got out the door...

don't take it personally, it's just how it works in holland... i've gotten used to it since i've been living here for a while...

should have come to The Hague... the night before queens day they turned the entire downtown area into a huge open air music festival... beer stands everywhere, stages set up in the middle of the road... it was more fun than i imagine amsterdam was... i fucking hate that city when it's crowded... waste of time....

Yeh hard to get around will 2 million pile into the city of amsterdam. I wonder how Den haag or Rotterdam faired for the festivities. So ppl weren't even riding bikes cuz it was so packed?

 

[booblebob]

Bluesky : Yeah, you could be right, but a coupla years ago there were more cool people to meet and less trash going around the streets with dodgy faces etc.

Jubei: No bikes at all, only mish mash which amazingly is comprised of 90% dutch people from all over Holland

 

[Guest 10952]

Yeh i figured it would be way to packed with ppl to ride around. So how was the crowds this year mate? Anything cool go on that day? Like concerts or anything interesting.
