So after twenty hours of driving Cannabis Karri and I have arrived in Denver for the start of the Democratic National Convention. Guess who will be performing here on Tuesday? Our good friend Willie Nelson! Perhaps I can pull a NORML string or two and get some backstage audio for you. (I ain’t Toby Keith; I’ll gladly smoke weed with Willie!)
Today I am in full Au Gratin Cheesehead mode to attend the Packers/Broncos pre-season game. I’m staying with friends who used to live in Phoenix, and in 2000 we all attended a Packers/Cardinals pre-season game (see pic at left… I was thinner then!). I guess this is out once-every-eight-years tradition.
Thanks to all of you Stashers who have been leaving comments and sending emails during this two-week Stash break. I’m going to have so much audio and video for you from the Dem Convention and Seattle Hempfest, and then the very next weekend is Portland Hempstalk.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
Welcome to Colorado!
I’m in Boulder; am planning on seeing Willie at Red Rocks, too. He is playing at private party in Denver on Monday night, in tent in Invesco Field parking lot; but I’m not invited.
