Thank you DOPE Magazine for hosting one helluva DOPE Cup. I loved meeting all the producers, processors, retailers and most importantly, consumers.
The fifth annual DOPE Cup took place Sunday evening behind Dockside Cannabis in SODO. Live music played all night, with performances by Smoov-E, Dub Lounge and headlining act Waka Flocka. Evergreen Extracts gave out free dabs and the industry's favorite host, Kitty Kitty Bang Bang, came out to play.
Last week I adventured around town with Q Nightclub’s resident DJ, Mikey Mars and Western Cultured. From the Seattle Public Library to MoPOP, we heard how cannabis influences Mikey’s music, his favorite strain and how he lights up the moment.
What an evening at the 2015 DOPE Industry Awards! Industry peers voted me the 2015 Photographer of the Year and Western Cultured won Best Producer.
The DOPE Industry Awards took place at the Showbox SODO. i502 producers, processors and retailers wore their red carpet best for this special night. DOPE left lots of swag for attendees and live music enhanced the already impeccable ambiance. Kitty Kitty Bang Bang hosted the show (loved her green dress!) and the Cannabus came to dish out dabs.
Part one of Western Cultured’s winter editorial is here, so bundle up, grab a pre-roll and light up your season. We’re celebrating the holidays i502 style!
This Thanksgiving marks my first working in i502. Enjoy my photos from last weekend's Friendsgiving hosted by the lovely Zach and Nicole Brennan, as I reflect on everything I'm grateful for.
Fifty pairs of boots, thirty vintage jackets, eight half-gram joints, four models, two outfits each and one northwest bridge went into last Friday’s photo adventure. Western Cultured collaborated with Fauxy Furr Vintage to shoot its first ever editorial at Vance Creek Bridge.
Fauxy Furr Vintage specializes in boots, furs and wool jackets. The company started in 2005 as a resale booth at local markets and expanded nationwide thanks to Etsy. Chrysta Colebourn, founder, describes Fauxy Furr Vintage as, “boho meets glam.”
Last night the Western Cultured crew hiked Mount Pilchuck to watch the super moon eclipse. This hike has been on our radar, so what better location to watch an eclipse rise?
Mount Pilchuck is a stunning hike. The geology, pun intended, rocks. Leaves have started to turn orange, adding pops of color to an otherwise green trail. The elevation isn't realized until you come around the last bend and see granite cliffs. Even still, we pushed the envelope and climbed to the furthest peak, unsure if the pit in our stomachs was vertigo or a strong connection to mother nature.
La Push, Wash. is so remote, we went three days without cell reception. This allowed for long talks, late nights, afternoon hikes, sunset surfs and smoking a ton of Western Cultured pre-rolls. When you're off the grid, you get to know people.
We spent our days lounging at Second Beach and Third Beach. Large driftwood warmed by the sun was perfect for naps. When the guys weren't catching waves, they were catching fish, which fed our crew both nights. We built a massive bonfire, danced, watched the stars and felt appreciative for moments like these.
Smokin’ Love, Collie Man, Fat Spliffs and Burning Ocean — if you listen to reggae, you’re no stranger to these classics. Two of my favorite bands, Stick Figure and Slightly Stoopid, performed at Marymoor Park last night, and Western Cultured gave both bands a very northwest welcome, with bags of SeaTown Lemon Haze.
Stick Figure opened the show. My cousin K-Bong crushed it on the keyboard, Kevin jammed on bass and Kyle, from Slightly Stoopid, joined the Scott for a duet. The crowd sang K-Bong happy birthday, since he turned 30 a few days before. No Stick Figure concert is complete without an appearance from Cocoa the Tour Dog, who happily lounged on stage.
