wow...i haven't been this entertained by a trip report in ages.
thanks man

most fun reading a trip report i've had in ages.
thank you so very much, outstanding job.

congrats! if you can tolerate an old man's view for a minute - 420/dekuil is an excellent shop. try greenhouse centrum for a real old-school-hippie vibe. excaliber for bikers, but buy your weed elsewhere (imho). dampkring, rokerij, siberie, picasso, styx, noon are all very good. grey area for top go...

thx for a well written, enjoyable report.
i know that it's more work to create than one might think; your effort is appreciated

from 1 oldtimer to another, thanks for taking the time to walk us thru mokum. again. i went kinda off the grid for a while, don't get around much anymore ;-) so the vicarious thrills are appreciated. la plus ca change, la plus c'est la meme chose new barney's? greenhouse? no greg@420cafe? maybe it's...

i hesitate to join this love fest, but once-upon-a-post this thread was about chocolate, specifically puccini. the aforementioned staalstraat location (thx boney) is the factory/kitchen where the goodies are made, with windows into the kitchen providing a good view of the activity, and possibly prof...

thanks for a good tale well told.

thanks for the excellent report, i know it's a lot of work to write, but believe me it's well appreciated.

i found it helpful to carry a small notebook & make notes throughout the day; there was plenty of time to jot down a few memory joggers when stopping for a refreshing smoke. i say spend your time in mokum enjoying the place; write a trip report for the rest of us at your leisure when you get bac...

ok, i'll bite. this was an adventure in living, bollocks, farmer & porkchop under one roof...i remember a meal of thick porterhouses grilled over hickory and served with a morel mushroom/red wine reduction sauce, tomatoes stuffed with fresh basil & gorgonzola cheese then baked, twice-baked s...

sounds fun....sorry i was psychotic & missed it.....let me know if there's a redux

at last, a great reason to log in. with a tip o'the hat to bob hope, thanks, lh, for the memories. it's as close to a trip i'll get this year as i have decided to spend the money on a lawyer.

bravo, encore, encore!

i can't add to the above comments other than to say thank you for the walkabout, and congratulations to the both of you on your bliss, may it ever last.

best regards

a very fine report...i spent the last few minutes mentally sitting in de kuil; sweet! thanks for writing. Patrick gave me my first Vapo hit at DeKuil last year..great! Porkchop and in feb '03 porkchop gave me MY first vapo hit in nearly the same spot in dekuil. it has apparently become a tradition.

cole porter & some little fat jewish funny guy..."cat balou...cat balou-ou -ou" seriously, one of my all time fave movies...lee marvin hilarious as the drunk gunfighter :-) & thx 4the kind words. but i must lay alliterative claim to the Full monty: "dead on. your description of the depths of...

congratulations, sir, and thanks for sharing your joy.

i battle the depression too, with mixed results. it is always reassuring to hear a story of success.

spring is the season of rebirth; i can't imagine a more appropriate time to go.

best wishes

what could possibly be more sweet than that first day?

wonderfully told, thanks for your work.

please keep 'em coming.

I walked around DeKuil.... looking for the farmer. I strode to the right, I strode to the left... A bottle in front of me, a frontal lobotomy... i'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy. All of a sudden, a bald guy sez: "Is that an elephant in your pajamas or are you ...

i'm glad all you kids are playing nice ;-)

it's so much easier to communicate face to face; email & forums lack the nuances of facial expressions & body language, leading to misunderstanding. meetings like yours help to remind us that we have a lot in common & are a pretty nice bunch of people.

1 welcome to the forum, thanks for joining. 2 check the knowledge base (linked above) for lots of answers already posted; many questions have been answered ad nauseum ;-) 3 this post/question belongs in the coffeeshop forum; don't be surprised if it gets moved there. 4 what the hell, newbies deserve...

thanks dmac, looking forward to your report... ok, well, ... firstly, mr lh & some others are more complimentary than my work merits...they are my pals, they're sweet, but they tend to exaggerate. secondly, life has it's predictable swells&troughs, plus the stuff we don't see coming over the horizon...

.....! It’s sad when you go somewhere so hospitable that fucking arseholes can’t behave themselves in another country. They show themselves up and tar their well behaved fellow countrymen with the same brush.

amen brother. well spoken. and it applies to people from any country.

fine reports, all. i must steal some of your conciseness. ;-)

thanks for taking the time to share.

y'all are too kind. thanks.

OHDave, i'll do what i can...i have undeniable skills in causing women to want ME to go away; maybe i can extend that to you ;-)

anyway, thanks again, we seem to be in a "time of plenty" in the trip report area.

outstanding sir. it was like i was there. o wait. i Was there ;-) "concrete crevasse" ...one of my favorites, alliteration + vocabulary. and dead on. your description of the depths of debauchery; haunting. i've never viewed writing these things as a contest; we each bring our own tools to the table ...

delightful! thanx 4 sharing. the trips to actual paradise are the indisputBLE BEST; but a well crafted trip report is the cheapest, best substitute EVER. again , my thanks.
