I was playing in Almere at the "Under the Sea" festival back in August. I
asked one of the stage hands where the closest coffeeshop was, he told me,
"Go up the street and look for the police station, right behind it is a
boat, here we have a boat, you'll see it." So off I went and amazingly
enough there it was, directly behind the police station, on a boat in the
canal. I crossed a plank and on the back of the boat was the entrance and a
friendly fellow checking ID's. You then go down a steep staircase into the
somewhat small body of the boat. There are windows surrounding the room up
at the top of the walls, at deck level, so the sunlight beaming in mixed w/
all the smoke made for a very surreal ambiance. There is a beverage bar w/
coffee drinks, teas, energy drinks, shakes, juices and Heineken I think.
Several tables are around and an area for darts as well.
The different part however was that to purchase any product, you had to fill
out a piece of paper and sign it. Then the staff were behind glass type
"Ticket Windows," so you had to talk through a weird little hole and give
them your slip. I didn't mind really, but it is the only place I know that
does that. Perhaps it's because of their location behind the police station
and the new laws and all? Anyways, I got the "Warlock" (8 euro-gm.) and a
pre-rolled "Dynamite" joint (2.50 euro). I sat at the beverage bar and
enjoyed an energy drink with the "Dynamite" pre-rolled, which got better
more and more as it went. A very smooth bio-green bud, citrusy in smell and
taste, w/ a nice uplifting buzz. The "Warlock" was perhaps some type of
white bud, very fluffy green/white bud w/ a skunky/fruity smell and taste,
body type buzz. All in all I had a really good time there; good bud, good
music, unique location, good ambiance. Just wish they would get rid of the
paper work and the "Ticket Window" weed counter.
