OHMYGOD!!! amsterdam is the shiznit, there's just no 2 ways about it. First of all, besides all the obvious reasons (like getting rip-roaring stoned in a city that's like 700 years old) the squatter scene here is insanely strong and active and so fuckin international. there's definately the feeling that non-dutch squatters kinda take secondary importance...and nobody seems too crazy about americans in general, but the scene is still really cool and most people i've met have been helpful and friendly. and there's always cheap squatter bars and most nights a week there are People's Kitchens in different houses. And I think I'm definately going to pick up Dutch, but the people I'm staying with now aren't Dutch anyway, so not for a while. Even though this kid I know said I could stay at his house, he was stoned when he gave me the number, so he left a digit out. So I'm still looking for a good place to stay...but there are numerous opportunities. Anyway, I'm having the best time, this was definatley a good idea.
LOVE to everyone out there posting wonderful comments. And can you believe it?!? The elusive and notorious Mary has finally added me as her friend and even posted a comment!!! That makes me happiness. Alright, that's it. Now I will finally make the step of saying I LOVE SUICIDEGIRLS! I will post more when more things happen. I've only had one class so maybe later in the week I'll let you know how they all went. Bye peeps!

First of all, hi. Secondly, I was in Amsterdam a couple of months ago and I was also really amazed by how vibrant the squatter scene was (not to mention the whole bikes over cars mentality). I saw one of my fave bands play two nights in a row--The Ex who (as you probably know given your favorite bands list) are an amazing anarcho-punk(ish) band from Amsterdam. I definitely suggest seeing them play on their home turf if you get the chance. I also hung out at some squat where people build (or modify really) all kinds of crazy looking bikes. Try to find it--the people were really nice. Glad you're having fun!
