Nov 27 2002 @ Melkweg Amsterdam, NL

Flew to Amsterdam, met up with Arno, went to the venue, met up with the band who were all very tired and chatted with Sarah, Nico and his two friends were also there (Phillipe and I'm ashamed to say I've forgotten the ladies name! Big apologies to her!). We went for a meal with Norwood, Sarah and Ase at a South African restaurant and then went back to the venue apart from Arno who had another concert to fit in before Fishbone!

Hung out in the Fishbone room till they were due on stage at 11.30. Set list (Spacey's and printed not hand written) was; XQZ Me Nuttmeg Alcoholic Just Allow Pressure Heet Aids Wit It Cholly Question - crossed out and replaced by Norwood with Ma & Pa (I was there when he changed it!) Skankin' Permadawnutt Chim Chim Bonin' Sunless Swim ------- Go Nutz Party -------- Last Daze Red Hot

They actually started with Rock Star - well Angelo walked on and started talking it and slowly the band (minus Walt) joined in and built it into the crescendo that it is on CD - and awesome start I thought! Sadly they only did one encore - Demon and then they split, it was now about 1am. We hung around for a while saw Sarah & got my T-shirts.

Said goodbye to Denis, Nico and Co and went back to Arno's pad, stayed up listening to the Verviers gig till about 3.30pm. Got up next morning had a education in some good music from Arno's collection, got a copy of the Nuttwork collection and then it was time to head home and for Arno to go to work.

Pictures!!!!! Due to the way things turned out instead of my ?3.50 disposable camera I had my ?250 Canon EOS so the pictures should be better than the last lot I put up. I'll be getting these tomorrow (Saturday) so should have them on the WWW Sunday. At least the first lot as I part used one film so there will be more but I'll have to finish the roll off first.

Credits - Big Thank You to the Band for coming over, to Arno for putting me up, the lady at Tourist Information (read the long version!), Sarah for T-shirts and everyone I met.

Ok, we arrived at Melkweg at about 14:30 and met Sarah, Norwood, and the cute Ase. Jessica gave her a little fish toy for her birthday, but she was more interested by the wrapping paper than what was inside.

After a while, Arno and Colin arrived. We chatted a while and watched Colin and my friend pictures. We went next to the band's hotel, and waited Sarah that was dressing A...

Basically, Cannibus cup is a week-long american event organised for americans-who-want-to-go-on- a-pilgrimage-to-the-world-capital- of-the-herb-that-makes -you-sleepy/crazy/openminded/... (fill the blanks / choose what it does for you). So even if the show was sold out, the venue was not packed at all. Same venue as for 9.9.99 and my memories of that time is that the melkweg was packed. Mainly ...
