Hi Folks.
First post, so be nice ;)
I'm coming back for more tram-dodging mid october.
My question is:
Will I be able to get any of the competition gear, and is it worth it?

I reckon my tolerance is ok, so am gonna party hard. Last time I found the hazes to be favourites, so with this in mind, and staying within walking (!) distance of the RLD what & where would folks recommend. Like to be able to sit down -so coming mid-week, not too worried about beer.

Thanx in advance.

De Kuil is also known as the 420 Cafe and has quickly become one of my favorite shops. It combines the ambience of an old Amsterdam bar with the goodies of a coffeeshop. And as already pointed out on this site, if you are on the backside of 30 years of age you will feel very at home here.

De Kuil it is then. To start.

Apols for the really newbie Q, but does anyone know why it's called 420?
what does 420 stand for?

420 stands for the time of day you are supposed to fire up a fatty. It started with a group of high school students back in 1971 called themselves the Waldo's that met every day for puffs at a particular statue. How it came to be so wide spread a slang term I don't know. The same way all slang gets around I suppose.

Here is a link that explains it better. http://www.phish.net/faq/420origin.html

Peace,

Hello everyone,
The urban legend around the Boston area is that there are 420 psychoactive chemicals in marijuana so 4:20PM is a natural time to indulge.

They might want to clarify in some way that they're not celebrating Hitler's birthday. LOL
