I got the call from Steve Bloom while in Orlando. “Do you want to represent NORML on a Legalization Panel at the Cypress Hill Smokeout in San Bernadino in a couple of weeks?”
Uh, let’s see, hosted by Tommy Chong, guests include Cypress Hill, SlipKnot, the Deftones, Sublime, Method Man & Redman, Bad Brains, Kottonmouth Kings and others, plus panels with Ngaio Bealum, Sarah Diesel, Allison Margolin, Ed Rosenthal, Mikey Avalon, Adrienne Curry, Andy Milonakis, Debby Goldsberry, Shirley Halperin, Steve Bloom, RZA, and me? Is there a stronger reply than “Hell, yes!”
The whole show / expo / panels extravaganja runs Friday, October 23rd and Saturday, October 24th. I’m on the Saturday 3:00pm Legalization panel with Rosenthal, Margolin, and Goldsberry. (I’ll even provide you podcasts for that Thursday & Friday… though you may have to deal with the road noise on the Thursday one as I produce it from the laptop in the car while my wife drives.)
