last month when i did that abstract artform tour we found ourselves with a show at cannabis cultures vapor lounge right around the start of the olympics while we were in vancouver. that was a pretty big deal to me because i guess you could say i'm a fan of marc emery's activism and lifestyle not to mention the cannabis culture magazine which he's the publisher of. being the diehard stoner i am i've always prefered a smoking friendly setting rather then somewhere that serves alcohol like a bar.. which is what this world is obviously saturated with.. and i've always wanted to personally get a chance to play at cannabis culture in vancouver but have never been with a band i thought had the right sound to play in the relaxed lounge like setting. but abstract artform is clearly so perfect so i had to hit up marc and see what was possible, and sure enough he was into the idea and hooked me up with greg williams at pot tv who set up the event for us in his lounge where they filmed our performance for the pot tv network. anoter cool thing about this particular show (which was already ridiculous in itself) is that there were people from alll over the world who were in town for the olympics in the lounge that night who A) had no idea what the fuck was going on and that we did the whole "pot's not a big deal" thing here in canada and B) were so fucking high and blasted out of their faces hahaha that it was hilarious. probably smoking the best weed they will ever smoke in their lives. vancouver 2010! sports! bc bud! hip hop! welcome to canada yo. hahaha..
it was definitely the highlight of our stay in vancouver. fuck the olympic jock worship bullshit.
everyone at cannabis culture was really fuckin' cool to us, and i learned a lot of useless information about weed. it was great! i looked at trichomes under a microscope and all sorts of other ridiculous shit like that. after our performance marc emery rolled us 3 beautiful looking joints which we savored for the long ride back to shitipeg where i began to adapt back into my fraction of a semi normal life (which i still really haven't managed to get around to yet fuck)
enjoy this poorly edited representation of what i think a youtube video is supposed to look like:
Abstract Artform live at Cannabis Culture (in this video you will also find Marc Emery giving me bong rip while we're playing.. haha.. bad ass.)
