I kept waiting for the part where you fuck the slackliner and we finally get to find out if he's any good in bed.

Jeesh...

Jefferson Airplane had an album out called "Surrealistic Pillow", with lots of Grace Slick's vocals on songs like "Don't You Want Somebody to Love", and "White Rabbit": "One pill makes you larger, an done pill makes you small; And the ones that Mother gives you, don't do anything at all, go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall....." Good vintage stoner music!

This stoner sounds cute.

Music has never been worse than White Rabbit. It has been documented to cause uncontrollable vomiting in some people.

He's a huge dork, but still, I like this guy better than the clown who almost hit an old man on his bike. Did they ever catch that little fuck?

"Stairway to Cleveland" was their biggest single.

@3 (elizabeth or exelizabeth?),

WADR, "Surrealistic Pillow" was juvenalia. Their next three albums are where the jewels are hidden. Check 'em out!

@6,

Hater, I pity you. If ever I become a mad scientist, I hereby pledge to turn the Earth's atmosphere into a giant loudspeaker, from which I will broadcast the likes of "Saturday Afternoon" all of the day and all of the night. Whence you will, at long last, see the error of your Airplane-hating ways.

MBWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!

I was just flipping through the channels ans I saw that PBS is showing "A Star is Born"

Now we know the reason that Dan isn't going to hempfest.

Should I feel bad that I have every Jefferson Airplane album including 14 bootlegs?

That cane would have belonged to Bill Thompson; he was the Jefferson Airplane’s manager. Wish SoCal dared to have something even remotely like HempFest...

Jefferson Airplane was fine, but things got a lot better when they became Jefferson Starship, and they finally hit musical magic when they dropped the Jefferson entirely.

All kidding aside Paulus, personally I'm particularly fond of "Volunteers".

@12:

No. No, you should not.

the reader reads the stoner's account and wonders if the self reflexive third person is a consequence of the stoner being stoned while writing the writer's column.

That is sooooo fuckan, uhh fuckan, uhh fuckan slog like posting the morning post after neen. You guys are sooo fuckan cool.

Have you read the adbusters piece about Hipsters yet?

You guys and your tats and your ear plugs and your snark are, like, 2003 man! You guys are, like, geezers. Your snark, copied from Vice which is also geezer now, may even be older than 2003.

And your tats are fading and your ear plugs are sagging and man that neck tattoo--well you've stuck yourself in the low paying job market for life.

Slog's resident ora(L)cle has spoken:

Dan Savage, who declaimed over after-work drinks on Friday that every other weekend of the year is more ideal for getting stoned in Myrtle Edwards Park because there’s no one else there.

Sure, it's more than a bit fuckan obvious-but you guys aren't exactly a sophisticated crowd. You're fuckan hipsters!

Frizzelle-Who do you think is making and importing those fuckan bongs and clothing? You stupid fuckan hipster-it's corporations! Your culture has been co-opted!

Oh man! That hempfest video is fucking cool man!

And the description above about the Jefferson Airplane walking stick reminded me of the walking stick I have out in the garage. Made in China and once poked around in the ass of America's favorite cocksucker by a person to go un-named here. Got all dirty-ugg!

One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small-go ask Alice?

@20 Nothing like a little retarded sockpuppetry to wrap up the weekend. Go kill yourself.

Maybe the stoners at Hempfest are atypical, but the stoners I've known have been apathetic bores that *talked a lot* (oh could they talk) about changing the system but usually couldn't even be bothered to vote or doing anything that actually required, you know, work.

If they're the alternative to suburban mall culture we're all fuc*ed.

There were a few interesting speakers,
but it's all a bit preaching to the choir. There are only so much one can take of the speeches, it's all "stop the drug war", "this should be legal" and more "mans" than a pride parade.

Wait, somebody actually bought mrpoe.com to forward to that? That's a little lazy. Don't be creative or anything.

@13: what do you have to do to get the banhammer here on Slog? Cuz, well... I guess I don't try... but I am pretty much a Slog-hating internet troll. I guess I need to sharpen my canines and test the boundaries.

Bad Outdoor Theater?

You could have just gone to Green Lake and seen Shakespeare for free ...

It wasn't bad.

"Hempfest is an answer to the dominant American culture--the suburban, generic, corporate-controlled mainstream."

I call bullshit. Corporate mass culture is pushing weed harder than anyone else, because it makes for a docile, unmotivated populace.
