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.
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.
