Sorry mate you are quite right they ARE clamping down on selling booze in the coffeeshops, the bastards. Went there for first time in a year and a half to see The Kills, went into my favourite bar/cofeeshop Cafe 420 (Zappa's Bar otherwise known as), bought a gram of Neville's Haze which was a very nice bit of weed actually, sat down at the bar. "Een amsterdametje, alst u blieft" Sorry, NO beer anyome... WHAT!!!!!! I'm looking up and down the bar, not a beer tap in sight.... damn!

But I did find a bar/coffeeshop that does allow alcohol, the fucking Bulldog! I hate that place.

Oh well, all good things must come to an end.

Amsterdam really is changing.
