So, 21st still free for The Hague or De Kade or whatever.

We still need to fit in pinball at Spirit somewhere.

We should allocate a particular session at Siberie to smoke one for Bedge. Or every time we visit Siberie.

I hope everyone is happy with what we've scheduled so far. Still lots to be filled in. What would you like to add?

If you're not on the list yet, what are you waiting for?! And please don't say "maybe next year". There might not be a next year. Who knows where Fart, Pootin and Nuttyahoo will start dropping bombs next. At the very least the price of jet fuel is likely to explode soon.

As veterans will know, I'm not good at mornings. No reason why everyone else shouldn't do things earlier though.

This might be relevant on the Saturday, for instance. After a likely heavy first night, we'll want a slow brunch before heading out. Others may want to head off to Zaandam and/or Wormerveer before the proposed meet at Siberie. With good communications that should be fine. If we all keep each other updated on our whereabouts we can rendezvous anywhere along the way.

Same applies on Tuesday 21st with whatever we decide to do then.

Implying a day in Ams, rather than Den Haag? That might work well with pinball I guess. What does everyone else think?

Plans are taking shape.

Happy with 1e hulp at 2pm.

Den Haag morning of 18th for a few hours and hopefully meet up with Docgonzo. Can meet people after edibles class.

I am happy with a session @1eHulp @2pm the 21st :thumbup: and go from there to a few other shops and make our way up to the Spirit, sounds like a good plan.

Once the Pinball is set in the schedule I will give this years rules and will also let you all know what we will all be playing for :thumbup:

Seems doable. Like the sound of a coffeeshop crawl too.

You mean Friday 17th I assume? Sounds good. I'll add it to the itinerary for whoever will be there. Sadly Igraine and I won't be there by then. We will be passing through on Friday 24th but most others will be gone by then.

I'd like to add a meet at Siberië with as many of us as possible to have a smoke in honour of Bedge, as I believe it was his favourite. Of course we can do that on 17th and 18th but, if possible, it'd be nice to get everyone together on the 20th before the edibles group head off or 21st before 1e Hulp. Talking of which, anyone know when the trams will start going along Rozengracht again?

Yeah the 17th. Have you had any thoughts on where we're starting the party the evening of the 17th?

That is a great idea about Bedge. I believe we will be in Siberie many times over the week and can smoke one for him every time. But it would be good to have a specific time for full ACD crew honourary smoke. Maybe roll a big joint to pass around? One of those prerolled raw paper joints. Or pitch in for one of those donut joints to pass around?

Now I think about it, I first met Bedge in Siberie. :D

Agree with smoking a few in honour of Bedge :thumbup: every time we are in Siberia 8)

The Pinball Competition will start around 5.45 on the 21st, everyone's name who is taking part will be pulled out of a hat to set the order of player play. Once a suitable table of play has been chosen battle will commence 8)
Each player will pay and get one turn which is 3 balls to get as high a score as possible, I will take a note of each players score on a scorecard and when everyone has played the winner will be announced and awarded the winners prize :thumbup:

Now the prize this year everyone wants to know is that you will all be playing for an actual Engraved Pinball Trophy (pic to follow when it arrives) and that will come with a ACD coffeeshop mug which this year is a jumble of numerous coffeeshops(pic also to follow on that) good luck to all players who take part this year :thumbup:

I see there are still a few of us in town on the 22nd and nothing set up or going on, does anyone have any plans/Ideas :?: Does anyone fancy a jaunt to Den Haag to visit a couple of shops or go to Zandvoort and hit Yanks and Hunters or just hit a few shops in Dam. What are you and Igraine up to @Lemming your in leeuwarden are staying there or just a day trip :?:

I haven't set a usual breakfast up yet so that will come one morning maybe the 19th but not sure just yet and then a wake 'n' bake that I will set at a shop depending of breakfast location :D
Chase the Green to live the Dream :mrgreen: 8) :D
