Amsterdam

I'll be in Holland for 1 night, 1 night only. Meet the famous red-beard, and watch him drink.

I land in Holland on May 25th in the evening and will be heading out early afternoon May 26th. Anyone for an all night bender in Amsterdam?

That's a good city for a bender.

It's also a good city for a stiffy, if you're in the right neighborhood (wink wink).

Stop by the Pink Floyd coffee house. Bulldog cafe is a tourist coffee house, but still neat to go there. Heineken has tours, but you need to sign up in advance. On your way to the airport, stop off at the local coffee shop and grab some space doughnuts

Buzz kill.

EDIT: Hmm: Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands, located in the south of the province North Holland. Courtesy, Wikipedia.

EDIT AGAIN: Whatever
The Netherlands is often called Holland. This is incorrect as the provinces of North and South Holland in the western Netherlands are only two of the country's twelve provinces (for more on this and other naming issues see Netherlands terminology).

Can't we all just get a bong??

A band I've been seeing for years (The Radiators) did a traveling "bus tour" of Amsterdam a few years ago with a bunch of hardcore fans...I don't recall hearing too many stories about it...I don't think they could remember

James,

Stay in touch. Am scheduled to head over to London next Wednesday and not sure where we will head from there.

Used to live just over the Dutch border and went to Enscheide and Amsterdam often. Nice places... you can get in trouble there very easy so remember the wife has a large gun!

Excuse you. It would be the equivalent of asking: What is "Florida"?

And Copenhagen is the capitol of Sweden, somewhere in the northern part of Europe..

Nah, she only has a .22 target model and a .32 ACP body pistol. I lock up the large hardware before I leave...

You have my cell number and it works worldwide.
