It’s Next to the PI: Hempfest this weekend.
Rick Steves is the fuckin' man!!!
Ugh. I hope that "God Bless Our Troops" lady was so offended that she'll never travel to Europe again. She's the epitome of the Ugly American.
The Denver Post quotes Nick Licata. Go Nick!
I had a friend try and convince me to get a medical marijuana card, but don't want to for the very reason cited here: I don't want my name in a damn database so the feds can come knock on my door when they're sick of the states mooning them with their sensible drug policies.
I feel much safer with my dealer.
Damn, I'd like to work for Rick Steves. He could seriously pay me in free coffee and high-fives.
Couldn't Rick Steves have gotten his own post? He's at least as big a Seattle celebrity as Dan Savage.
Is it wrong that I giggle every time I read/hear the title of his series, "Europe Through The Back Door"? I think I have another title like that in my DVD library... but it's not a travelogue! :)
