I remember getting this copy from the Nashville storefront back in November 2023. I never thought I would get one of those.

And the winner is…? :)

I wish they would announce who won on the contest page it was held on.

Guess i didn’t win?

I once got so high I thought I was gonna die and took off all my clothes and laid in the front lawn praying for God to forgive me. Was bad trip for sure !

Well I got high and forgot to check the email toll now and it’s 5 minutes till the deadline. So that’s all I got… I was gonna enter and then I got high!🤣🤣🤣 my house is exactly 420 miles from Third Man Records! That’s one of my favorite facts 🤣🤣🤣 and also recently found an email that someone sent me almost a year ago.. may have been high when I first opened it and don’t remember… Man I hope Jack didn’t write me back too about the business idea and I missed it cause I was high. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

1994, Tucson, AZ. Hadn’t seen my friend “Chick” Peas in months, when he called me mid-dishwashing shift. I asked what he’d been up to, he said “working in the bong factory”, I laughed, “yeah, me too!” But he was serious, he’d gotten a job inspecting, packing & shipping “water pipes for tobacco use”. We made plans to meet up at my buddy Curley’s before heading to see Helios Creed play with Hawkwind (?!). He brought a box of factory second bongs, slight cosmetic defects, & passed em out to everyone there, so it was a party where everyone had their own bong blazing, ridiculous! It made Curley very paranoid, so he kicked everyone out, it took us a half hour to walk four blocks to the show, we saw a Great Dane standing on a trampoline, staring at us as we tried to quietly walk past…we somehow drifted into the dark warehouse and there was a film projector playing a super slow moon landing movie, and then the opening band swelled like the ocean into the heaviest jam I could imagine: SLEEP, hadn’t even heard of them, first exposure, and they plowed a canal into my brain that’s still flowing with magma like resin, one of the best blazed shows I’ve seen, still!

I got really high recently with some decent Buddha and some super doobie sprinkles as a topper. I was sharing with my kid (he is of age) whose eyes had turned Towely red/yellow. it’s while jamming out to my latest doom metal album when the ol’ lady says she wants to eat out somewhere. Which is fine, we were fine, we will be just fine, it’ll be fine. So I turn off record player, which is fine and start the walk to a nearby Italian eatery.. slowly. Get there order food after taking too long to decide but went with all u can eat spaghetti and it rocked. The wife speaks up about the glazed over eyeballs and the devouring of food. Which is fine by the way. It took a few more times of her repeating the question before we admitted to being high AF. So apparently it wasn’t fine anymore but then again it was as that sauce is pretty good high AF. That’s about all I gotta say about that as I’ve taken a nap or two sense then.

I don’t participate in the herb all that often, however there were back to back shows at the same venue that caused me to celebrate. Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats on Friday and Ween on Saturday. I secured some GWAR gummies, walked several blocks from the hotel to the venue, and then proceeded to drift into a joyful and relaxed state while watching fantastic music with my best friend. It was the first time that I didn’t completely collapse of couch lock, and managed to stay through both shows. I am not entirely sure how in the world I made it back to the hotel, however.
