Bring lots of clear eyes, condoms, and snacks ;) . And a toothbrush. That's about all you'll need.

In all seriousness, have fun! :cheers: If you have any spare time you ought to go see the Anne Frank house... might not be the thing to do on a 4 day bachelor party, but it is definitely worth seeing, and you'll have a good story to tell about Amsterdam in more 'proper' settings. ;)

I've actually already discussed doing some legitimate sightseeing with a few of the guys that are going. We are obviously going to party it up - but this could be a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to see some great things, and i for one don't want to pass that up. Granted, we will probably see those great things in a different frame of mind. :D

Also, be very careful walking around the city. There are a ton of crazy drivers, public transits, bikers, and pedestrians everywhere. Literally... take a single wrong step and you can get creamed. We learned the hard way... Amsterdam is not the greatest place to walk around off-kilter. ;)

And I agree with SHF's comments. We took the tour of the Heinken brewery... it was pretty cool and pretty cheap, iirc. And a good way to pass the time while your buzz is wearing off. :)

Seething with jealousy Chomerics crawls into the hidden room under his stairs and talks to his marijuana plants...

He's like the grizzlyman talking to them...

"Oh, you're a biiiiig plant, aren't you? ooooh... I love you plant! I really do!"

"You're my best friend. I loove you sooo much. You're a naughty plant, aren't you?"

:laugh:

(j/k as usual chom, couldn't resist)

Thanks for the advice! The guy who's party it is has been there before. He also suggested we check out the Anne Frank house (he and his fiance went there on 'shrooms and ran into someone from our home town - WOW!). I just hope we all make it back in one piece.

You will be just fine

We encountered some strange stuff in the red light district though. It probably is best to avoid that place after 3 am, becomes a bit spooky

Went to Club Paridiso, that was a great time

It was a lot tamer then I thought it would be though

The transportation system in that city is great also, so you'll have no trouble getting around

Bring Viagra and plenty of it.

Its funny - some people automatically think of the legal drugs and some think of the red light district first (i fall into the former).

As far as the red light district goes - i was made an honest man on June 18th, 2005. Of course i can still look. :D

Ah the lawn in front of the Van Gogh muesem

Funny story about that with me.

My boys and I were walking from the muesem heading in some direction to catch a cab. Well we were not all in sober states, and it was pouring rain and the wind was blowing at some riddiculous speed (biggest storm in Europe in 5 years was hitting that day)

Well we are walking along and we see this nice lady on a bicycle ride past us. We turn around for a minute because we see a half pipe and deicde to run up it

When we turn back around a huge gust of wind blows, and boom we see that lady knocked off her bike, on the ground, with the bike on top of her

Unfourtantley we were laughing too hard to help her out

Every dam woman is like 6'2 there, and they all ride bikes from the 1970s. So I guess the gust of wind plus her height knocked her off

bonnaroo sucks go to amsterdam

Next time Radiohead, Tom Petty, Beck, Elvis Costello, Matisyahu, Phil Lesh, and Damian Marley are playing in Amsterdam, and when I can drive to Amsterdam in 11 hours, and when there's a mile long stretch of vendors selling EVERY substance under the sun, I'll go to Amsterdam. In the meantime, I'll stick with Bonnaroo. Thanks.

all those bands play only one set.the scene is overrun with people who are not there for the music.the vendors can be seen at any show this summer just not as big.leave your backyard you will like it.

you can fly in 7.5 hours

To each his own. I prefer a three day festival full of the best music in the world to a city full of smelly Dutch people.

That said, I'd absolutely love to go to Amsterdam. It's on the top of my list for international travel. But being that it's infeasable for me at this point, and given that Bonnaroo, somewhere I'd rather go anyway, isn't, I'll take Bonnaroo.
