I'd just like to say good luck to Pat Travers and the whole TGA gang at the LA medical cup and I hope some of you agents and film guys go check out Sub and put him on some show. Been watching some of your vids Farmerjohn420 and I'll say you and Jinx are committed, I'll give you that.

Marijuana convention in Glendale likely snuffed out
City seeks to block event via courts, but venue owner says he'll cancel it anyway.
February 13, 2013 | 8:52 p.m.
City officials are asking a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to issue a temporary restraining order against the organizers of a two-day marijuana Convention set to start Saturday at a sound and film production studio in South Glendale.
City Council members held an emergency closed session Tuesday night to stop organizers from hosting the Medical Cannabis Cup an event organized by High Times magazine contending the use of the space does not comply with municipal codes.
City officials are concerned that organizers plan to use Glendale Studios in the 1200 block of South Glendale Avenue for live performances, which would include rappers The Game andRedman.
Glendale Studios, Garcia said, is zoned for broadcast and recording, not for concerts.
Another issue is that the event doesn't comply with the city's ban on medical marijuana dispensaries, which are prohibited in all zoning districts.
Obviously, our ordinance defines dispensaries broadly, he said.
Steve Makhanian, who runs Glendale Studios, said Wednesday that regardless of any court injunction, he planned to cancel the event because the city was not happy organizers had not pulled the proper permits.
As a studio owner, we can't jeopardize having this event here, he said.
Local dispensaries, clothing companies, hydroponic businesses and marijuana paraphernalia retailers were slated to the showcase their products at the event, said Rick Cusick, associate publisher of High Times. Actor Tommy Chong costar of stoner comedies Up in Smoke and Still Smokin' was also expected to be honored with a lifetime achievement award.
Cusick said the event is unusual all over the place.
Organizers had created restrictions to limit access to marijuana, which would be available for sharing only by medicinal-marijuana-license holders in a cordoned-off tent area, Cusick said.
Panel discussions on marijuana laws, cultivation and culture were also scheduled.

This went from pretty screwed up to a total clusterfuck pretty quick.
Bummer. I was really looking forward to this.
If they cancel the event I hope vendors like TGA can recoup their expenses. After this, whether or not the event goes on, I have to say that Sub, having "inside info", was absolutely correct. I just didn't see how deep their fuck ups went. Other conventions happen without issue, with smoking areas. Not sure why High Times, who arguably has the deepest resources, can't pull it off. It's sad, really.
They should have had it at the Anaheim Con Center and called it the So Cal Med Can Cup. LA sucks anyway.

I just sent an email to the Mayor of Glendale asking him to intervene on the behalf of the MMJ community and American freedom. Here is some info and his email. Please send him a polite message asking for his help and ensuring him that we are grownups that know how to behave well in his city.

1994 Amsterdam, the 7th cup.
High Times opened up judging to anybody who could get to Amsterdam and pay like $25 or something ridiculous to be a judge, I can't remember. I made that trip along with 800 others. We showed up and the HT staff completely lost their shit, totally unprepared for the numbers of motivated cannabis users who would show up. Jack Herer was released that year and the afternoon smoke councils were epic. It was a truly good time regardless of the constant HT fuck ups.
I am sorry that they haven't gotten their shit together almost 20 years later. That is ridiculous and sad.

I had a friend at that one who brought me back most of the stock I ran in the 90s. He said it was a clusterfuck, but fun.

It looks like it's in San Bernardino now! They just keep moving it closer and closer to my place. 
This is the place where they had Hemp Con a couple of weeks ago.
Question: Will I need to buy the 2 day VIP pass to get to the area TGA will be set up? Can I get to the booth and the smoking with a one day pass?
