Annoucement: Speaking at 2016 Seattle Hempfest

Finishing up my undergraduate "career" (if you can call it that) has me all sorts of busy. Fortunately, I should be set to graduate in December. My senior project for my theatre major has been approved and is underway. Instead of taking a seven-credit anthropology credit, I am trying to get an internship at a local museum. If I am accepted to that, I will only have one course that actually meets in a classroom.

Two years ago, I spoke at the 2014 Seattle Hempfest on all three stages. Last year, I missed the opportunity by a small window (one day) because I had not been aware of the timeframe of when they were requesting speakers. I received an email from the organizers a few months ago, inviting me to speak at the 25th anniversary - special invites to speakers who have come before.

Because I accepted, I have three speaking slots this year. What is special for this one is that, although I will not be on the main stage this year, I will be on a panel in the Hemposium. For those of you who do not know, the Hemposium is a tent that hosts panels all day, as well as the VIP party on Friday night.

My line-up:

Friday 8/19 12:30-1:05 pm
Hemposium
"Activism: Can One Person Truly Make a Difference?"

Saturday 8/20 5 pm
Seeley Stage
"How to be an Effective Cannabis Activist"

Sunday 8/21 2:40 pm
Black Stage
"What the Upcoming Elections Mean for Marijuana"
