Doesn't a year go quickly?
Last April 20th we gathered a crew of dedicated stoners and
cannabis podcasters for the first time in the Capital City of
Cannabis, Amsterdam, for a day-long extravaganza of live shows,
coffeeshops tours, and most importantly.... gourmet ganja!
This year, it's going to be bigger, better... and BUDDIER! So to
make sure everyone's up to speed on what's going to be happening
and where, here's the straight dope on Dopestock 2008!
April 19th 2008: jay_k's Bud Boat
Pre-Party
Time: meet 11am for 12pm launch (trip ends at 2pm)
Place: meeting point will be downstairs at the Dolphins Coffeeshop,
Kerkstraat 39
Bring: weed, rolling papers, pipe, lighter, munchies
Forum stalwart jay_k has organized a stoner-friendly boat trip
around the canals of Amsterdam. Smoking cannabis is permitted on
board the boat and there will also be an on board bar selling
Heineken (E2.10), soft drinks (E2) and wine (E17.50 a bottle). The
boat trip itself will cost between E20-E30 depending on the number
of passengers. Many forum members have already paid deposits and so
space is quickly running out,
post here if you want to get involved
April 20th 2008: Dopestock 2008 -
The Daytime Session
Time: 12pm-5pm
Place: The Cannabis College, Oudezijds Achterburgwal 124
Bring: weed, rolling papers, pipe, lighter, lunch, bottled
drinks
The Cannabis College were our hosts last year and put on an amazing
daytime session for us, with tours of the College's legendary
garden and plenty of cups of tea for all the Dopefiend faithful.
Join the Dopefiend, Max Freakout, Lefty, The Toker, Black Beauty,
DoubleDoc, and a host of forum regulars and listeners from around
the world for an afternoon of live podcasts, massive Volcano bags
and great company! At 4.20 we'll celebrate the success of the
second Dopestock event with a celebratory Volcano bag before
heading off into the streets for the Coffeeshop tour.
April 20th 2008: Dopestock 2008 - The Coffeeshop Tour
Time: 5pm-7pm
Place: meeting point is the Cannabis College, Oudezijds
Achterburgwal 124
Bring: map of Amsterdam, proof of age / ID, money
The Toker's tour was so
successful last year that we've extended and expanded it and you're
invited! What better way to familiarize yourself with the
coffeeshop scene than by joining a crew of Cannabis experts as they
take you round the best spots in the city to sample some
award-winning weed? Following the tour we'll break for 2 hours to
give everyone a chance to boost their flagging blood-sugar
levels!
April 20th 2008: Dopestock 2008 - The Evening Session
Time: 9pm-late
Place: The Dolphins Coffeeshop, Kerkstraat 39
Bring: money, pipe, lighter
We told you it'd be bigger and better, and here's why: for the
Evening Session we've secured one of the most sought-after spots in
Amserdam. With its comfortable sofa-style seats, built-in
vaporizers, and excellent menu, the Dolphins is the ideal place for
our Evening Session. Join the surviving Dopestockers as we while
away the wee small hours with multiple vaporizer hits and plenty of
good conversation. And don't forget to make plans to meet your new
friends over the rest of your stay, cause you'll never find them
again if you don't!
So that's it! If you haven't booked your flights or accommodation
yet, get on it! Beds for the 4/20 weekend are going fast and we'd
all love to see you!
