| FOR THOSE of you in permanent accommodation, Coffeehouse Culture will soon be available in a form that does not provide protection from the elements. Yes, you've guessed it, for all you stoned people out there with no lives, we are going on the web. With the help of the great God, Technosweat, our site should be up and running not long after the first issue appears. Just what the world needs, another web site! Ours, however, will be a site for sore eyes. Our inspired webmaster tells us that he has been surveying the smokers' sites out there and, although he is full of admiration for the wealth of text-based information available, "there are hardly any sites that are entertaining and fun to use; most are just heavy info. This," he continues, "is good because whilst Coffeehouse Culture is strong on fun and entertainment it is rather low on information." Although at the core of each site will be the current issue, there will be much more on the Coffeehouse Culture pages. With the Cannabisness section (there's no business like it, dahling!), the Inner Light and all rest of Coffeehouse Culture right there on your screen, plus some of the most innovative and unusual download options ever, You will never have to buy another copy. But, hey, that's not what we want. So, to discourage you from reading the whole issue on-line, we'll be offering plenty of entertaining distractions. And, what is more, you won't have to be a computer genius to enjoy them. In the company of our virtual hosts, Bud and Crystal (sorreee!), you will be able to have the full 'Amsterdam Home of the Culture of Consciousness' experience . . . .virtually. Yes, this will be the home of Virtual Unreality. Join our slightly pixellated hosts as they visit virtual Amsterdam, staggering from coffeeshop to coffeeshop. Meet the Coffeehouse Creeper (but avoid those trainers) for some slightly whiffy conversation and the juiciest gossip. Join the Astral Traveller the O-zone. Take a walk down our Virtual Shopping Mall where anything can happen (just like shopping for real in Amsterdam). Visit our Arcane Arcade where the Pinball Wizard meets the Wizard Wizard and our very own astro-nut will help you cope with the horrors. Get to know the characters who have defined the culture we all know and love, hear their craziness for yourself. Feeling in need of a little human companionship? Well, hard luck, because we only have pixels. But you will be able to join us for real-time forums and discussions, for our 'Meet the Creeps' sessions where you get the opportunity to abuse the staff of Coffeehouse Culture and for celebrity interviews and discussions. Designed over five levels, the Coffeehouse Culture web site will have soooo much in it. After a day of coffeeshop cruisin', what could be nicer than to visit one of the free houses that have grown up in this City of Freedom. Or to relax in the peace and quiet of our Sanctuary (Home of the Inner Light) where we'll replenish you with soothing music, a liquid light show and wisdom to help you cope. Within the site you will find a complete resource for dealing with the cultural change that is happening right now. And, if you really must, visit our 'stacks' where you will find the ultimate cultural resource for those working with or exploring expandediconsciousness. For artists,writers and academics, our information resource will gather in one place all the tools to take us into the new millennium. We hope we'll see you there. |
