THERE'S AN EMPHASIS ON JAMS >>>

About a week ago I got an email from Justin Prince, one of the forces behind Tacoma Hempfest. He wanted to let me know that this year's Hempfest in Wright Park (June 25) would be announcing its initial lineup on 4/20 (naturally), at various events around town.

Sadly, I was late to respond to the email. I was high. Yesterday was 4/20.

Still, you can find the now-announced initial lineup at the Tacoma Hempfest website (tacomahempfest.com).

Or, you can just look below...

11:15 AM - 12:45 PM Andrew Childs led Psych/Rock/Reggae Jam Members of The Fun Police

1:15 PM - 2:45 PM Malcolm Clark Band led Rhythm and Blues Jam

3:15 PM - 4:45 PM Big Wheel Stunt Show led Rock/Hard Rock Jam

5:15 PM - 6:45 PM Josh Rizeberg & $krilla led Hip Hop Jam

As you can see there's an emphasis on the "jam" this year, with each of the announced Hempfest performers scheduled to lead a "jam" in their respective genre. This is, of course, a very Hempfest move. However, it could also have to do with the staggering number of local performers interested in playing this year's event. Not surprisingly, the Hempfest movement is a popular one among area artistic types.

Hi Matt ---

Kevin, from Shock Treatment Management here. We have only begun to announce the acts and musicians who will be dedicating their time to Tacoma Hempfest, and its' steadfast commitment to community education about the 50,000 uses of the cannabis plant, as well as the ineffectual cannabis prohibition which wastes hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds, per year, in Washington State.

Invitations are going out to dozens of Tacoma performers over the next week or two, lining up the breadth of the jams. You can check out the updates as they happen at shocktreatmentmanagement.com/2011/04/tacoma-hempfest-2011-musical-lineup-announced/

Thanks for your support, Matt.

Kevin
