So, I went to bar Absinthe, a very cool and sexy little basement bar that sells, well, absinthe. Just by the glass, though, no bottles. The bartender said that there was one liquor store in Amsterdam that sells absinthe, but she couldn't remember where it was. Graaaah! The internet isn't spitting up the information immediately, either. Help? Anyone want to out-google me, since I'm now paying for net access?

Had you only said something before...

I could have given you the URL to a german mailorder store that sells absinthe by the bottle. google doesn't really turn up much, besides this bar that was recently renamed to 'absinthe' where they sell absinthe.

One interesting note about the van-Gogh-Museum I found on google:
"Downstairs in the gift shop, you can buy Lacoste-style polo shirts with the great man's signature in place of the crocodile logo, Sunflowerr sunblock and - get this - a tea towel emblazoned with that final, terrifying painting of crows over a cornfield. That's right, a suicide note you can dry the dishes with."

Suicide towels. I'm going to get one!

Eh, it's not that big a deal; I just figured that if I could get some while I was here, I should do so. If it comes down to mailorder or make-it-yourself or something, well, there's no reason I couldn't do that at home. I guess the gothy absinthe party will have to wait.

Suicide towels.

Creepy!

My 3rd-year undergrad attempt at making absinthe was a dismal failure. I went to the Indiana Dunes, found a plucky little wormword plant, and brought it home in a pot. (Note: It is illegal to remove anything natural from the national lakeshore.) Unable to withstand the harsh Hyde Park climate, the plant died within a month.

My plan was to infuse some wormwood leaves in a batch of mead. While this does not quite qualify as absinthe, it might have had some kind of special kick.
