not part of the cup, but also playing @ the Heineken Music Hall in November
November 16th - Van Morrison
November 19th - KANYE WEST
November 20th - Rufus Wainwright
November 21st - Rihanna


Lets give this another go shall we?

but first let me again say that, I know where I am
and I know how evreyone feels about the High Times Magazine and Cannabis Cup in november. I agree with many of the criticisims, but still enjoy Amsterdam in November for a variety of reasons.

Let me also say everyone should support ICMag because this is a great place with people who really love and care about the plant, thus the strong anti HT feelings...! but certainly some of you STILL will be going to Amsterdam when the cup is going on

that being said, lets talk about EVERYTHING going on this year in November?

There is something called Dirty Dutch going on November 24th Organisator: ID&T Club BV - Locatie: Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam

Also the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) starts on November 22nd in Amsterdam, check out their website for more info idfa.nl

There is another film festival called the Shadow Festival - focusing on other documentaries somewhat overshadowed in the other film fest.

and also something called the Crossing Border Festival which I still don't fully understand...

last but not least, of course is the HIGH TIMES CANNABIS CUP Nov 18-22nd

they sell tickets... err I mean judges passes... whatever... cost is like around 200. Some think its worth is for the events and getting together with so many like minded people, but if your planning on getting free bud or anything with your pass... don;t count on getting much of anything other than souvenires and what have you. STILL If your going to buy a judges pass and go to the cup then you may want to know more about what is going on, OR you may KNOW more about what is going on and then you should post it here!

theres a misconseption we hate high times here thats not true
I've met the HT crew now on several occasions and got on well with them
not sure if I'll be at the cup this year though depends on my work load at the time
but I do hope to be there

OP
 
Our whole team will be there. Not to support hightimes, but to support the worldwide (if not universal) love for cannabis. Hope to see some of you there.

Were trying to bring Lepp with us, but hes got many problems of his own, but if he likes we already get a ticket+judge pass with his name on it. Personally, I have not seen tommy in quite a time, hopefully he will not have a full schedule of apperances so we can catch up and enjoy the fine smoke that the 'dam is so well known for.

We are also trying to obtain an interview with Mayor Cohen in hopes that we can bring some common sense dutch policy back to california (as we are all long time activists of the full legalization of cannabis).

We should embrace and enjoy this bringing together of people, regardless of the sponsor.

Much Peace, Love and Unity...

Richter and Lou Dogg are going to be there (confirmed), however im not sure if the whole band will be there, much less performing. I'm personally not a fan of there music, but richter is a good friend and they are a group of people who certainly enjoy a good smoke.

Also, they are entering their strain into the cup.

FYI: Powerzone is out in the industrial section, past the centrum.
The Metro stop is Sparkleweg, and the Metro stops running at midnight, so Sunday and Thursday take notice.

Thanks.
Eddy was giving those out at Ed Rosenthals' Festivus in San Franscisco. Photos with Jack Herer.
Hope he can get to the Cups.
 
The Barney's MOE. Gig sounds like a reason to go. Somebody pass Vinnie the drummer a doobie and say it is from Phil... he will get a hoot out of it!

I am also interested in maybe seeing one of the better documentaries at the IDFA or the Shadow festival... anybody ever go to those events? do you need special tickets or can you just pop in like a regular flick at the city cinema?

Hey JBIG420 tickets for the film festival can be purchased at the central box office in the liedsplien or online. I would suggest buying them online. I waited in line almost two hours last year two see two documentaries. Most of the films have the director present so a Q & a session can take place after the films. Some films are very long like Spike Lee's Requime for a City almost 5 hours. While some are rather short. Also a thing to not everyone sould take the time while they are there for he Christmas parade "santa" arrives that first saturday with a parade right down the damstraat.

Oh well, it's all we got, except for the 420......

Hopefully, the rookie-ish "Thug Factor" will not be as high as it might be.

Looks like pretty good concerts lining up, related and unrelated to the Cup, at Melkweg, Paradiso, and other spots. Last year the City was not really on fire musically, the year before, yes.

Other than the K Kings (FUN !) 2006 had no Cup music to bother with, washed up 'ol Jefferson Starfish, yuk. Grace Slick's successor was weak, but sexy. Looked like she coulda been Grace's daughter.

This year, we get Tommy Chong....!?!?! If that's not a reason to go, I am not sure what is. C Ya there, Tommy. I hope to spread a little OGK goodness throughout the whole field....
