i have a story about Amsterdam
i think it was the first week i have ever spent in Amsterdam, it was back in 2001,
and i slept in a cool Hostel on one of the main streets called: The Flying Pig.
it was 2 days after Wacken Open Air 2001, i just got back from Germany, and i was still hangover, and feeling sleepy

(since all you do there is drink 24/7 and hardly sleep)
but anyways,
a friend of mine that owns a record label, called me late at night, asking me for a favor. a PR lady of one of the major record companies is Europe and US, is in town too, and since he wants to get a deal with this record company to distribute their cds, he wants me to meet with her, and maybe work on a contract.
me and her talked too that night, and both made an appoitment to meet in a cafe house down town at 11 AM.
So I woke up in the morning, all ready to impress her and to get a good deal with this record company, dressed up, left the hostel at 10 AM thinking: I have an hour to kill,
Why dont I just get a nice breakfast and some coffee to be more fresh?
I went to a nice coffee shop, sat down, with one of the magazines I brought from Wacken
And asked from the waitress for a cup of coffee and one of those fine fine cupcakes they have in the fridge (you should have seen those cupcakes, they were HUGE and looked soooo delicious)
So the waitress brings the coffee and the cuopcake, and im eating it like theres no tomorrow: another note: I almost didnt eat anything in the previous night so I was extra hungry and my stomach was extra empty.
I ate all this breakfast without knowing that
In Amsterdam, and in Coffee shops in Amsterdam
.
All the cupcakes, all the muffins and other sweet stuff made with
..
WEED!
I ate a frinkin space cake and I didnt even know that!!!!
So I went to the meeting with this PR lady , the café house wasnt so far from the coffee shop AND I just had a space cake without knowing AND on an empty stomach, after an hour the space cake started kicking in,
And the PR girl was extra nice, told me a little about the contract, and about their agreement
and all this time im looking at her and I swear she is spinning
!!!!
My mouth is dry, and I begin to feel very sleepy

I cant concentrate on a damn thing she is telling me, her words sound to me like a slow motion movie, and on top of that- I start to laugh and giggle to silly things.
OH MY GOD

That was the worst meeting ever.
She looked at me and went: Karen, are you on something?
And im like: NOOOOOOOO!!! (I said a long NO like drunk people say, u know what I mean?) and then I felt like shit.
Hahahaha

She asked me what did I eat, and I said: nothing, just a cupcake and a coffee
Then she realized and she was : holy shit girl, you had a space cake for breakfast ????
Since my story is getting too long, I wont tell you how shitty and paranoid I began to feel after hearing that
let me just tell you, its a shitty feeling to know youre high on something you never ment to take
We rescheduled the meeting btw, and I got a killer deal.
That morning I had a good o fashioned English breakfast, and the bacon WAS not made of hash
.
so here's my tip:
DONT eat anything at Coffee Shops
