Bikes not Bongs!
I also hear that swimming in the channels is fun.
Kidding aside, take in everything that you can, the place is a blast. Just don't pass up on the great sights and museums because you are too high to get out of your bed/chair/altered dimension.

If u werent such a ****** i would recommend u go to Independant Records/Skate near RembrandtPlein and hook up w/the guys there. They pretty much know everything in Amsterdam thats cool. But for you, I'd recommend the tourist office for info on canal tours, museum hours, bike rentals, restaurants, etc.

What I'm really hoping for is or a local or someone who's spent a good amount of time there to tell me what shops to hit up, and maybe about some races or something. Worst comes to worst, I'll just ride down to the velodrome when I get there and see what's up.
