With Hempfest coming up soon I thought it would rock to review the story I wrote on it last year. We will be there again this year signing books and getting people baked but I will be like Waldo and if you want to get high with me its your job to find Waldo.
I have never been to a Pot Rally before but things came together this year and we decided to attend the Seattle Hempfest. 2006 The event is now in its 15th year and has grown from just a few hundred attendees to the largest event of its type. Over the years the event has featured many notable speakers including Woody Harrelson and many great musicians have stepped up for the cause including The Kottonmouth Kings, and Fishbone.
Jill and I drove up Friday and I must say there is slightly something amiss with Washington drivers, in no shape or fashion will they move out of the fast lane to allow faster traffic to pass this makes for quite and innerving experience as all the other drivers weave in and out making it look like Nascar. I had two incidents in which other drivers with children in there cars drove radically and acting generally like asshats. We managed to make it safely and had a great night at the Waterfront.
[FONT="]We arrived about 9.30 and found parking in a garage close by. The event staff directed us in and we found the Media booth after wandering around a bit checking out the sites. We stopped by Hemporium and stoned some people that Jill knows from chat and then set out to find Steve and Sam and the Heads Magazine crew to have a proper wake and bake and a formal introduction. I guess Jill and I were still a bit ripped from the earlier session cause we walked right by Heads huge booth with a full size half pipe set up for skate boarders. Luckily stoners are the nicest people and when we told this cat with a cowboy hat that both of us were there covering the event for 2 separate magazines his face lit up and he wanted to show us where he had put the banners. Then he not only pointed us to the place but walked Jill over and introduced us to the Heads gang. There booth was the bomb looking directly onto the main stage and complete with the half-pipe in the rear. We received a warm welcome and after exchanging greetings got down to smoking them out with some 70 day budded 90 day cured Apollo-13. Sam and Steve were both so nice and I was blown away there publication is basically a 4 person team of close knit friends and relatives. After blazing a few joints and everyone was smiling and exchanging gifts we headed out to see the sites.
