Finally! An answer!
On my first trip to Amsterdam this past March, I was sitting in a coffeeshop (Global Chillage) in the Leidseplein, stoned to the bejeezus belt on two tokes of the first pot I had smoked in oh, about 11 years. Lilyblack (my honey) and Alan (my friend/the founder of Cloud-Zero) had gone to use the bathroom and buy more Shiva, respectively.
As I sat with a friendly South African guy I had known all of ten minutes, this... this Thing rides by on the street outside. It was a bar, with a keg in the middle, a canopy over it, and a bunch of guys sitting around the keg, peddling madly, raising their beer glasses and whooping merrily. A few seconds later it had passed.
Needless to say, when Lilyblack and Alan got back and I tried to explain what I had seen, I was unable to convey the incredible weirdness of it. In fact, I always wondered if they thought I had hallucinated the whole business.
Sweet, sweet vindication!
