Ok.... so. Who wants to know what about the Cup?
First of all it was 100% not what I expected the cup to be like. That being said, I still think it was an amazing adventure. The cup itself really isn't so much "An Event", like you go to one building, spend a lot of time there, and that's it. It's more like an City wide happening over a week. Most people showed up the weekend before. There is an Expo, which is like any convention. A big hall with booths selling their wares. Pipes and Bongs, Seed Companies, Clothing and accessories, and some other random people. One lady was doing something with massages?? At the expo it was common for seed company booths to smoke you out, but it wasn't like you walked up and there was pot for everyone. Not at all. There is nowhere you just get free weed in an organized fashion.
I had imagined it to be like you bought this pass and got to try either all the entries, or a lot of the entries. Not so. You have to buy them at the coffeshops around town. No discount or anything, just up to you to try all the entries, well not all... there are like 60 strains entered. You were not allowed to sell or buy pot at the expo itself. The expo lasted from 12-8pm each day.
Then there was this cool bar right across from the expo that people hung out at. They had a tent near by for the lectures, none of which I saw, to busy working the booth. Then there was the concerts in town. Each night they had someone different. We saw nore and ghostface killer. Holy shit it was a bad show. lol. Just utter shit. Had a good time though. Gotta love lots of people getting high, drinking, having a really good time together.
The absolute best part about the whole thing was all the people there. I met people from all round the globe, and all of them loved weed in some way or another. Really really cool. Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Norway, Finland, Iceland, UK and USA. The states best represented were Florida, California, Colorado, Michigan. The most were from Florida.
I only went out and smoked one strain from the coffeeshops, was Amnesia Haze. Really nice smoke. Was a shame it wasn't even dry, much less cured. I might grow it sometime, just to see how it comes out done right. Really good haze that.Um. What else. Don GnT is a good fella, hadn't met him before. I hope I don't ruin his rep by saying this... but he sells himself short here on the forums. He's a really great guy, and I no longer wonder why his girl stays with him. She's lucky to have a caring partner like our buddy.
I'll post a couple pics. Feel free to ask about anything. I had a lot of experiences while there. So much to say.One thing was the reception for Breeders Boutique was amazing. People really liked what we do. I think BB has a very legitimate shot at being one of the bigger seed shops out there. Can't fuck with Micro-Breeders.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!!!
