queens day 2005

Hello fellow Amsterdam lovers!! Plan on going for a week at the end of April for Queens Day before heading to Germany for some beer festivals. Have been to Amsterdam several times but never on Queens Day. Would like to meet some fellow fun loving happy people. Renting a houseboat close to central station with some friends. Anybody have any good suggestions on what area to stick to since the city gets so packed? I'm thinking houseboat party people!!!

 

Just wonderin' if you're still plannin' on the Houseboat Party on Queensday?

We're talkin' some seriously kick ass times here my friend!

 

Hell ya Ictricity, just how many chances does one have to do that, right? I rented one in 2003 and had a great time. Soooo much better than a hotel room. I'm thinking of taking in queens festivities during the day and make our way back to a nicely stocked houseboat. ooohh yaaa man I can't wait! later

 

Glad to hear it! I'll be sure I'm "well-stocked" by the time Queensday & your partay rolls around!

Man, being in Amsterdam is like being a kid in a candystore. So many freakin' choices and not enough time in the day!

 

Hey Cats,

I'm new to this chat scene but a veteran of many Amsterdam trips, I frequent the magic city every year to recalibrate my mind and reconnect with my roots.

I'll be there for Queens day as well, is this house boat party an open invitation to all like minded travellers?

 

ispica, your more than welcome to come. what day are you arriving? a few of us are also meeting at the de kuil coffeeshop on friday the 29th at 4pm, most of us will be sporting tye dye to identify each other. so far there should be about a dozen or more. read the other queens day thread on this page to view others that may plan on attending. see you there!!!

 

Thanks for the invite, I look forward to the bash. What's the age range? I'm a reluctant 47, but I'd hate to have people point at me and ask, "who is that over weight old guy sitting over there in the tye-die thong."

 

hey ispica, half I imagine are 20 somethings and were all a reluctant 30-40 somethings, so no problem on the age thing, but about those tye dye thongs. I think I said tye dye SHIRTS at the friday dekuil meet but power to ya if you feel comfortable in them. besides it might make for a good laugh. what goes on in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam!!! Are you going to make the dejuil meet at 4p on friday? less than 4 weeks to go!!

 

Glad to have you aboard ispica!

As far as I'm aware we are all getting together to celebrate being in and enjoying the freedoms of Amsterdam, finally, after so much planning and waiting.

IMO, ANYone and EVERYone is welcome regardless of age, weight or thongs.

First round of vapos are on me! This may be quite a few at this point so get there early if you want in on the "first" round.

 

ltricity ive havent tried the vaporizer yet but have looked them up on the web,so many different types. do u have any advice on which kind to buy? right now i have some pretty good skunk weed , in the last 24 hours i've already smoked a 1/2 oz. , still cant get as high as i want tho.hopefully a vap will help

 

Hi folks,
Nice of you to come over to Holland for the festival. It is always a huge party in Amsterdam, but the night before it Queensnight (Koninginnenacht) is much more fun. Just note the crowd, it's one of the busiest nights of the year.
Have fun!

 

Okay, I'm leaving the thongs at home. I arrive Friday morning so making the dejuil shouldn't be a problem, see you all there.

 

do me a favor and try a kroket. especially if you have never had one.

 

Volcano Vaporizors are the ONLY way to go imo.

Set that pup to 7 or 8 and let it do it's thing. Be sure to get the right type of bags though. I guess the Reynolds oven bags aren't as good as the standard issue.

Be sure to visit Eagle Bill at Sensi Seeds Museum for the lowdown on vapos next time you're in Amsterdam. If he's using one you know they're good.

Also, try some new weed if you've smoked a half ounce with little effect. The Vapo-high is a totally different beast than smoking in terms of high.

Good Luck

 

Holy smokes, batman - half an ounce that fast? Plz change your name to Iron Lung. Thats way more fitting

btw:


ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS!!!

 

Krokets are pretty good, personally I like the raw herring smothered in pickles and onions chased with a Guiness. Just what's in a Kroket anyway.

 

20 DAYS TO GO!!!

 

you can get chicken, beef and i guess pork.

if you can eat a herring, you can eat a kroket.

if you can eat herring, maybe you would like to try smoked eel? its like bacon jelly.

 

Hey wait a minute, Krokets, I think I remember now, you buy them at those self service places, FEBO. You put in a coin, the little door opens and your Kroket is there waiting for you. If I remember correctly they come back to haunt you after a few hours.

 

OH, those little bastards,

I've eaten many of those things at the febe locations. Boy, just shows we'll eat anything when your stoned. Only a couple of weeks to go!!!!
