What's up with 2019 IC Cup?

The weed network there isn't professional. Fairies deliver it by magic. There are no accountable production facilities with farm shops. Menu's are going to be inconsistent. With limits to how much a shop can hold, stock is changing faster than you could ever update a menu. Perhaps you always want to sell White Widow. Will you always be able to have stock of the same grade? With 10 types on your list, The best one at 11am might not be the best one at 1pm. The white widow fairy might not get up till 2... Or you might never see them again. So if some hoodie shuffles in pointing at a menu item you don't have, show them something similar, or the current commercial champion that you soon recognise the smell of around de-wallen.

Many might not realise, that often the dealer is simply renting counter space in someone's coffee shop. These days people might be going in for weed, and seeing the coffee as secondary. It's not traditionally correct though. Some of these smaller guys are good, while others are just business men. Shop's with big brand names can often get away with selling crap. While others have to keep up standards because they have other concerns such as a seed bank to represent. The Bluebird has always entertained me. Huge ques of menu driven purchasers, served by shop assistants, in such a fast turnover environment that they have crowd control in January. It's a machine that will sell you a tea-shirt, not the front line of a seed company. Yet every time I go to the Dam, I get a good bit of Chocalope and a balcony seat. Don't tell me you were disappointed there or at Gray (hoodie) Area.

November... So you did the lights canal cruise then? I did it last winter. All them winning art exhibits made with lights, placed along the canal side.

With Canadas newborn legalization, that would make a great destination. BC to be exact. Though that takes "cheap" out of the equation as BC = Bring Cash.

you will not get popped here for carrying your weed and you can smoke outside. people bring there own weed to the cup and get the judge packs, i have seen really great and not so great in those packs so if you need to there is always some tasty imported hash for you to puff. amsterdam for me....

Yeah the quality in damn is irrelevent to a cup anyway. And i was pleasantly surprised to see more people sparking up in the streets so i guess that side is more lax now..

Talking about magic fairies :laughing:

Whether AMS or BCN, it will depend on the team and the means.

Last year was an interesting experience, but also personally, an eye opener. I can't thank enough the (Chinese) volunteers that helped make it possible and stepped in to deliver what others had promised.

AMS has simply lost its charm. Yeah sure, you can smoke out and it's a small city (city centre anyways) but you won't find good herb, unless guided by a local. Prices for weed and accommodation are simply ridiculous, and then you still have to eat.

In BCN you need to (ball)sac anything you want to take out of the club, but weather and food is better. You will get a fine if caught by popo, but it should be less troublesome than in AMS with concentrates. Then again, many friends were made and many clubs are keen to welcome us, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Just my observations.

But anyways, let us know, we need to make plans.

I'm still trapped in Brexit-Limbo-Britain - MAROONED! I say.

So once again chaps - I'll have to stay this side of the English Channel - unless there is a friendly stranger out there with a submarine - or Lear jet.

Seemed like last year in Barca went OK - can't say much about the Dam these days - 2 years ago it was very different to what I remember 10 years ago - if that makes any sense at all.

Its really up to gaius - since it looks like he wants to run the show again.

was just getting some details sorted out before saying too much, but yes, we are doing it in Barcelona. the basics are now agreed and in pace, just need to organize the event shedule and some details, but it will be like every year starting officially on the 18th through to the 20th when the winners will be announced. early birds should be able to get their pack some time on the 17th already. this year concentrates wil be separated into Rosin as well as oil/bho and Hash.

Trophies have been ordered from our good friend mellofello for this years event. details will be up soon...

can't wait to see everyone there.

Barca was great last year. It was nice to have a big yet cosy location instead of sitting in a packed dark coffeeshop. Don´t get me wrong, I love Amsterdam, but BCN seems to be the better location for a cup atm.

I was worried in the first place, that there might be no IC cup this year as the Britain got Dank Cup by Jah Hoover is at the same time and quite some regulars are going to be in the UK. Why does it have to be on 420?!

Anyway we´re going to have a great time in BCN!

Counting days!

Peace

Good stuff, BCN became my favourite spot to smoketravel over the last years.
The Spanish take pride in their grows and it shows.
Had some outstanding Tangie&Sherbert there last time I visited in December as well as the always top notch Strawberry Haze Hash.
Not a question for me that the cup should be there again.
Hope to see all of you there again this year.
