Coffeehouse Culture; Plain Text; Page Seven; Article Three

After almost a year of locked in our high-tech cave mumbling unintelligible javascript mantras, Coffeehouse Culture reinvented itself as a web publication and made its comeback at the Cannabis Cup. Sponsored by that nice Mr Veling at de Kuil, we had a pitch in a side room with the glassblowers and the smart shops. Unlike our companions, we didn't have much to sell but we did have stuff to give away --- a positive view of the future. It wasn't hard to impart our vision of the future, of a society that functions at a higher level, to the glazed people who had only just been experiencing it, many of them for the first time. As we pointed out the contrasts between their own death culture and the thinking, highly civilised, society that exists in Amsterdam, it was clear that we were only expressing what everyone had already recognised. It was only when we started to put some meanings to the events taking place in Amsterdam that we could smell brains melting. For those who found themselves wearing slimy grey-green epaulets after visiting our pitch, the articles on these pages should serve as a reminder of what we said.
