Slog - Comments on The Rickster http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/the_rickster PBS's affable man of travel, Rick Steves, will be speaking at Hempfest this weekend (Saturday and Sunday in Myrtle Edwards Park). His standard rap about reforming pot laws is pretty mind-blowing coming from such a strait-laced celebrity. I called Steves in Brussels last week to ask how his crusade is going, whether he's pissed KOMO wouldn't run his television show, and what's up with the pot movement’s image problem. The full web-exclusive interview is over here. On Hempfest and his pot-smokin’ church pals: You can go to church with 300 people and think you are the only person who smokes...

Is Seattle the only city with a Hempfest? I'd hope not, especially since Seattle doesn't seem to be much of a pot city to me. It's a shame they didn't advertise it sooner - my mates and I heard about it just the other day (via Slog) and were crushed, since we all already have plans. But, as a Hempfest fan told me on the bus yesterday, "If you're not in 'our culture,' we don't want ya there!" Don't tell Rick Steves.

Clearly, someone that may know more about Humpfest than Hempfest.

Ha ha. No, I've never been to either. I moved here from the midwest, but I've been to most of the country (urban and rural). Seattle's the least-accessible pot city/locale I've ever been to. I know it goes against this city's reputation, but that's been my frank and surprising experience for all the years I've lived here.

But, it's good to know they have a Hempfest. Hope it's better advertised next year.
