Here we go the early draft 420 thread

[Ghost]

Hey guys and gals its 2025 and 420 is only just around the corner and will be here before we know it so here is the early thread for pre planning and for people to say if they are coming into town this year, add your dates and any ideas/sessions you might want to have

I will be in town again and will be arriving the morning/midday on the 18th and leaving the 23rd Who else is going to be in town and up for some proper sessions

Obviously the news on the smoking ban in bars along Warmoessraat is not good news for the ACD crew in town but there are still places in other locations that we can venture to, we might just have to do a little planning depending on the size of the group this year. There is still the chance that they might relax that ban by the time the 1st of the crew start to arrive in to town we can only hope they do.

Hopefully the ACD Crew can still party hard while in town - 2025

Hey @Ghost
Looks like I've missed something here - is there a smoke ban in place on Warmoestraat now?

[Ghost]

Yes it was mentioned on the 420 what's app group by Toking Tom not that long ago saying that bar 55 was no smoking now etc.

Hopefully some one can clarify it for us

[Tokeing tom]

Yes lads it's unfortunately true no smoking in any bar in the red-light district and Warmoestraat is included as its considered red light...fuckin mayor is ruining the place

I did wonder why the SMOKE part of SMOKE | EAT |DRINK was blacked out on Marleys sign. Didn’t go in to ask to be fair so this clarifies it. Thanks for the info Toking Tom & Ghost.

I'll be there for sure. Plane tickets and apartment secured. Arrive April 17 midday, staying until April 23.
Only definite plans are to get back to The Stud one of the days, De Kade another day and hit up Het Ballonnetje a few times since my apartment is a short walk away. Should be another great time. Let's hope the weather cooperates this year.

Excellent news there 'Big Man' my wake 'n' bake and breakfast partner from 2024 back for 2025 . Agree with all 3 of your shop choices to hit up whilst in town I will set up another pinball competition at the Spirit with a mystery prize again but this year I will take down every ones scores and keep a note of them other than that will take it as it comes plenty of planning time

@Ghost, we must hit up Omelegg Centrum again the following morning after you get in town. Then a stroll over to Siberie for an early morning Wake & Bake. Maybe get a few ACD'ers to meets us there after breakfast, or join us for brekkie, then we all stroll over to Siberie.

Glad we could help @talkrum. Now, don't delay, quit itching, & make some plans. Start talking to the wifey like you did last year, and before you know it, she'll be begging you to go. Chop Chop!!

Probably for the best, Lem... Almost a grand for 6 night in the Old Nickel!!! ...In April!!!

...Anyone else know where there's a good bench?

[Lemming]

Still a few places out of the centre with shared bathrooms available for around 100 euros a night. We finished up booking a tiny room with a private bathroom near the Pijp for about £750 for 6 nights.

Nice one @Lemming, NOT sleeping on a park bench I mean, but your dates are all set and I see you guys found a place to stay, very nice.

Yes agreed that was a good start to a cracking day last year and to follow with a Wake 'n' Bake at Siberia doesn't get much better
