Amsterdam this weekend

That's right folks, you heard correctly. This weekend, Jacob and the gang packs up their few belongings, a change of underwear and probably some pepper spray and heads to the city of sin, where anything goes and everyone is too high to care. On a pursuit of sex, drugs rock n' roll or anything in between, he can't help but think that he's got quite an interesting adventure ahead of him (don't worry Mom and Dad, you know you can trust him...). Their plans include, but are not limited to:

• Visit the Ann Frank house (not stoned)
• Take a cannabis tour through the red-light district. It's not as bad as it sounds, it's more of an informative walking lecture about the city's darker history, how it came to be, exploring through tens of alleyways and teahouses, and ultimately growing well-versed in the legally evolved world of weed and hookers
• Hop on a bike and ride around the city (stoned) and hopefully not fall into the river
• Visit the Van Gogh Museum
• Window shop hookers (but not actually purchase their "services").  He was raised better than that
• Sex show? Hard to say, though even if I do go, I doubt I'll have the heart to write about it here
• Learn how to eat a herring
• Get lost for hours and hours on end

Jacob just figured he would let you know what he's planning for this weekend, as he'll be completely out of touch and off the grid, living a lost weekend in the world's wonderland. He's excited, in case you couldn't tell. There's about 12 fellow FAMU people going together on this trip, thus just increasing the already very likely chance something weird and wildly unpredictable will happen to them. Only one way to find out. Dignity, stay close to me, this could be a bumpy ride. 

Also, this is a song I heard live at a music festival this summer and recently rediscovered. I've been listening to it as I wrote this post. Enjoy.
