Id like to tell you about the most amazing party I have ever been to!
This party was so amazing it really changed the way I see things and I hope the feeling I took away stays with me forever. The Seattle hemp fest has been going on for 19 years and it was so huge this year it may have to move.
Id like to talk first about the volunteers that run Hempfest. The do not get paid or receive any benefit other than some food and water if there lucky. Free spirits that live off the land and are absolutely the nicest people I have ever met. This thing is a nightmare and the city doesnt make it easy so there are several people that run the 600 vendors into staging each day and try and keep the fire lanes clear so the city doesnt shut the whole thing down.
Earl the Pearl was a cat that was so helpful to us I cannot even begen to thank him enough. We did however try everytime we saw him and while on duty these guys dont toke so this cat who didnt look like he could really afford to turn down dank buds, did over and over until the event was done and his job was completed successfully.
Dioxide I hope will chime in and tell you about some of the other helpful people like Little Doc, Doc, Stephanie and others.
I saw some asshats scream and yell at Earl when the city made us re-que the line over a fire lane hassle and this cats sleeping in the fucking park to make this event happen so I wanted to make sure everyone understand this intire event is put on Free and by volunteers!
After a 7 hour tri in a 2 state traffic jam that lasted 200 miles do to a brush fire we finally got the Dank Gear tent set up. At first I wasnt impressed with the location but as we would later learn it was the only shaded area on the intire parkway so by days end we had a posse of brothers and sisters that were parting unrelated to us. They didnt bother us or do anything but relax, smoke blunts and chill on the KICK ASS music that was provided for FREE. More on that later..
It was a glorious morning and I smoked a few joints of Apollo-13 with the crew to make sure they had lots of Cannabis energy to keep them going. Tincture all around the colors became beautiful. A pie merchant shows of vibrant colors and baths in the warm morning sun.
This booth amzing was a company called many colors :
My friends that are riding on the Apollo buzz seem to bee very happy and busy as bees getting it all set up.
There was at least a million bongs on site and some were really cool looking. One shiity thing about Working Hempfest is no time to actually buy anything. I ended up with one badass kief box and a few hot dogs for my weekend at fest but some things cant be bought at any price and I wouldnt trade my time at this party for anything.
I got to crash here but I wanted to get this thread started,
If you have never seen the after math of a 420 joint toss, well you just ain't completed your journey yet.
I have no idea how many people were here I will find out but it was 2 miles of this and that about 200-300,000 hard core stoners living free and showing a unity that I have never seen. I missed this joint toss by a few minutes but you will see one later and imagine 2 miles of people firing up in unison. It gives me chills still!!!
