I’m sorry, Stashers, there is just too much on my plate to produce today’s podcast. NORML CON and four straight weeks of being on the road are coming soon and I have speeches and presentations to update with the new 2008 NSDUH / FBI UCR numbers (thanks, gub’mint!), a Chapter Handbook to put together, a 5′x8′ photo banner to design, audio from the first two NORML SHOW LIVE episodes to remix, re-upload, and cut up for advertiser packets, audio and video from Hempstalk to edit, and literally over 1,000 unread emails to deal with. On top of that, I think I’m coming down with something (maybe it’s just exhaustion – two sixteen hour days at Hempstalk and the stress of an idol’s heart attack can do that to you). I’m also going to beg off of tomorrow’s podcast so I can try to get back on top of things before I fly out to Boston on Friday for the Freedom Rally. I hope to be ready to podcast by Wednesday, but if these items require it, I may have to just take off the whole week.
I’ll peek in occasionally on the Fresh Stash and if something huge happens I’ll post. If front-pagers wanted to pick an opportune time to write something, this week would be the time.
On the bright side, my 
Broncos are 2-0 after a 48-0 shellacking of Miami (OH) and my 
Packers are 1-0 after a fantastic performance by Mr. Rodgers and the Green Bay secondary.
I really DO appreciate all you do Russ and thanks for the reply,it is nice to know we really ARE heard here.I know your heart is in the right place,keep up the great stuff and i hope you get the help you so richly deserve.
I am working on that angle right now. If I can get NORML SHOW LIVE bringing in some ad revenue, NORML will be able to hire on Cannabis Karri and she can be my Outreach Assistant, plugging away at the emails and documents for that position so I can focus on the online media.
So if you know someone who wants to advertise on the blogs or on the shows or both, send ‘em my way. Introductory rates are way cheap.
WHAT Russ has finally gotten so much on his plate doing the work of 3 people that for most if not all this week we get no stash? I’m SHOCKED! Get some HELP with this thing Russ,you have too much on your plate!
OLD?!?
Man for all you do for this movement take the rest of the week off. ill see you at the BFR
Take a break old man. We’ll hold down the fort here. Hope you are not coming down with the crud.
You’re a hard workin mo’ fo’ Russ!
All work and no play…
Take a damn break when you can.
Don’t forget the Pre-party at The Middle East (Mass. ave. in Cambridge.) on the friday before the rally.
