Chad in Amsterdam

I stepped into my favorite watering hole, where everybody knows my name and most of whom were relatively glad that I came. It was a bit too early to be at the Nes Cafe, as this really is not the place to be until well after your dinner has digested. A few of my homies were present, so we had no choice but to represent the after work crowd that wouldn’t dare bask in ostentatiousness like the 70/30 expats that dwell in the Bo Cinq. The topic of the day was snitching. “Someone is snitching.” Really? Who? And then the bartender flung an envelope at me. Upon further examination I saw that the letter originated from Charlotte, North Carolina. I took out the letter inside and read it aloud: “All. The DEA is in Holland! Please read my blog concerning Saber (the asshole hotdog vendor on the Nieuwmarkt) as it affects your civil liberties and may even be affecting your business. Snitches In Susie’s (my blog about the DEA in Amsterdam, Holland). Please make everyone aware of my blog. America has no right spying on your people!!! I have put myself at risk in telling everyone [that] I can about what is going on, but someone has to do it. Only by being informed and sticking together can we ever hope to stop this great injustice that is taking place in the city of Amsterdam… God Bless you and Holland, Even Steven.” And as if this wasn’t strange enough, I then proceeded to read Even Steven’s blog which took either schizophrenic paranoia or uncanny reality to the Nth level…
