Hempfest Aftermath
As Seattlest trudged to work today we saw two items of note discarded on the sidewalk. The first was a baby's pacifier. The second was the grown up version of a baby's pacifier: a bag of pot. Don't people usually have those little strings to tether pacifiers to babies so that they don't get dropped? Maybe potheads need those as well. You can clip your stash right to your sleeve and in a pinch you've got a roach clip.
Wow, you'd think Seattlest imbibed during our morning trudging. We only picked up the pacifier.
Seattlest suspects someone will be retracing their steps, scouring the neighborhood for the dropped baggie, but if they fail to locate it we imagine that there's more where that came from. Hempfest, after all, just decamped from Myrtle Edwards after their event over the weekend. "Get your PhD in THC," their site recommended, as well as, "Don't just burn it, learn it!" The sloganeering was, as usual, prolific.
While Seattlest is known to randomly shout, "Legalize it!" and is all for pot and everything, the most interesting aspect of this year's Hempfest to us was the YouTube.com "Unofficial Seattle HempFest Digital Point-Of-View Photo/Video Contest." We're not sure if these represent the entirity of the unofficial entries, but nine of the video entries can be found here. Flickr is also sporting some photographic evidence here. Finally, this guy will give it to you like no man ever has over at Craigslist.
