Seattle, Washington. August 16th & 17th. What a great two days those were. Let’s go over what Hempfest is, then we can discuss the festivities… and the great merchandise and hemp products!

Seattle Hempfest started in 1991. It’s goal is to, in a nutshell, legalize cannabis. There are thousands upon thousands of facts and arguments supporting pot apposed to the handful of reasons against it. Upon entering you instantly cannot walk a foot around hempfest without smelling the sweet smell of cannabis. You hear the sound of artists such as Los Marijuanos, or Handful of Luvin’, which is the perfect pot smoking music. This years theme was to legalize industrial hemp. It can help the economy, the environment, agriculture and many other factors in our society.

The highlight of my day there was seeing Rick Steves!

Rick Steves is the host on many travel shows, traveling mostly around Europe. Showing Tourists what to do, and where to do it.
He preached about how something must be done… it must be now, so on so forth, etc. But the way he preached it was just so moving. Perhaps it felt so patriotic due to the large array of Obama posters everywhere you look, aligned with marijuana leaves on the sides. Or perhaps it could just be the smell in the air possibly making me a little loopy.

So there was great great food there, and a normal festival based pricing cost. But the most reasonable priced goods were the hash brownies and cookies!

What person wouldn’t buy a 5 dollar hash brownie so he/she can eat it in front of one of the hundreds of cops around the area. There are plenty of cops just watching to make sure no one is physically hurt. The police will not arrest you for smoking or possessing paraphernalia of any kind. It allows everyone to be happy, safe and stoned.

There were 5 stages!! One reggae, one folk, one TECHNO!, another two stages of soft rock, and then a few speakers at the stages in between performances.

Seattle Hempfest is every year, the third weekend of August! But if you missed it, then you can always check out Portland Hempstalk during the first weekend of September!
If you have ANY questions, please just post them here!
Thanks!

David Cook is the new winner of American Idol!!

David Cook took in a majority of 12 million votes, beating David Archuleta. It was truly a David vs. David battle.

Simon says “For the first time in forever, I don’t really care who wins, you are both winners.”
It sounds as if David Cook will receive much publicity in the near future but as far as long term MSbands.com feels as if David Archuleta will go further and receive more publicty and record deals. Similar to how the whole Ruben vs. Clay worked out.

Time of my life - David Cook

From a recent bulletin on MySpace.com by Jeffree Star

Dear David Cook,

Please come over so I can suck your dick.

You’re really cute.

Love,

Miss Jeffree

MSbands.com wants to know how you feel about this!!
Which david did you want!?

So, I posted a little while ago on Wintergreen’s Music Video “How to Make Meth”.

Controversy is still going on, and views keep skyrocketing up.

According to the comments on their YouTube Video, all of it is bogus and there to hurt people.

762FullMetalJacket says

Oh, god, what a stack of shit… I found it hilarious, but the problem is all the retards out there who don’t know that ‘NaOH5′ is chemically impossible will be trying to do it.

Kudos, though, for mercilessly mocking all the retarded online recpies for meth and bannana peel acid and shit, though.

LaLaShizna says:

Hello the carbon is in the FRESH STEP litter!!! Gees read the damn box - it’s in their marketing verbiage on the Fresh Step kitty litter box it clearly says “with odor eliminating carbon”. So unless I’m an complete idiot there is carbon — Note I only took the general chemistry class in college — so not claiming to be a “chemist” that’s for damn sure!

Hehe nonetheless I think I’m going to give it a try - meth is fun but dangerous to make - this doesn’t seem as scary - let’s hope…

Obviously these people are thinking about making this ‘made-up?’ chemical.
Most people have said:

Dextropolamine = Not a real drug.
Pentocyclene = Not a real drug.

According to most people, the meth being made aren’t even real types of drugs.
I just know that Wintergreen knows how to get their name out there, and have some fun doing so.
Here is the video again for those who want to watch it!

Here are the Detail’s of Bush’s Economic Stimulus and Tax Rebate Plan:

President Bush and House legislators have agreed on the basic policy objectives for boosting the US economy in the hopes of warding off a recession.
Bush hopes that the plan will provide an “effective, robust, and temporary set of incentives that will boost our economy and encourage job creation.”



The plan contains provisions to eliminate the 10% tax bracket, the lowest tax bracket, to zero percent for one year only, and will provide a tax incentive for businesses to invest in fixed assets such as machinery and equipment. The ten percent tax bracket will be reduced to zero percent for the year 2008.

Individuals would receive an early tax rebate check. The minimum rebate check would be $300 and range up to a maximum of $1,800. The rebate is a refund of the taxes from eliminating the 10% tax bracket. The dollar amounts are determined by an individual’s earned income and family size. Unmarried individuals would receive a rebate of up to $600, and married couples a rebate of up to $1,200. Plus, there will be a $300 rebate per child, up to a max of two children.

So… What should we all buy!? Assuming the average that everyone gets is roughly $600.00, and you are really frowned upon if you don’t spend it, then what should you buy!!?
I have a few suggestions:

So now we have our fancy mp3 players, right? Well, assuming you do now, let’s go through some great things to buy that can go with them…

Well actually, I am going to have to wait until next week to tell you… SUBSCRIBE now, so you don’t miss when the new post comes out!
Feel free to comment and let me know what you are going to do with your free money from Bush!!

My first big high school party in my senior year was on Friday night. Originally it was supposed to be like 10 people, all dancing to great techno with amazing stereo equipment. Then somehow word got out, and even a teacher at Bothell High School said “If you are going to Megan so and so’s party, don’t drink and drive”. I had no idea how big it was going to be, neither did she. Tons of little sophomores came, and pretended to be drunk, or rolling on ecstasy. She started kicking people out, but then someone said the cops were here, but it was a rumour we found out.

About 10 minutes later, people started running out, and I saw some guy with a flashlight saying “Stay Where You Are”. I wasn’t drinking, or doing drugs, like a lot of the people there, but I could have still gotten an M.I.P (Minor In Possession) by just being there. A lot of the people hopped the fence, but I waited around with my 3 friends I was there with and just waited, then went inside for the police to check us out.

What I didn’t know was that my ex-gf, who is my best friend, promised me she would never do drugs or drink again. I figured both of us had nothing to be afraid of, but little did I know was that she actually did drink, and parachuted (powdered ecstasy with rolled up toilet paper swallowed) just before the cops came. I told her numerous times that she didn’t need the crap, and we wouldn’t be friends anymore if you do that stuff again. But obviously she didn’t value our friendship, but whatever.

So the cops took some breathalizers, some people were over, but luckily they said, just find a ride home, and let me call your parents. My ex-gf that had been drinking and just parachuted just said she was clean, and went away scott free, but I had to take a breathalizer. I blew a 0.00 and went away.

The holdee of the party got an M.I.P for everyone at the party. She got charged for all the alcohol and paraphernalia. She didn’t drink or do any drugs, which really made me mad, because it wasn’t her fault.

Just a little story to tell everyone, and how if you choose wisely when you do drugs or drink then you can get in a lot less of trouble. If I had chosen that time to first experiment I could have been in loads of trouble. But luckily I am a good kid :D.

Has anyone had similar experiences?

Watch indie rock band Wintergreen as they follow step-by-step instructions to synthesize drugs from common household items. Watch as they cook up Dextropolamine 22-B (aka Egyptian Meth), Pentocyclene (”Hillbilly Qualudes”) and much more.

Wintergreen
“Can’t Sit Still”
Director: Keith Schofield

This video has been storming the net with racy comments and threats to Wintergreen and YouTube. The video has had many comments, good and bad, many chemist related comments, and theorists explaining how this does and doesn’t work.

Test it for yourself? I wouldn’t but hey, you only live once… it’s against the law though I believe.
