Highlights of this tour will include:

1) a visit to some serious hippie day locations. Fuckin’ Far Out, Man!

2) a free pint of dank micro-brew at Plew’s Brews in St. Johns – one of our event co-sponsors, at their 3rd Annual 420 Brewers Invitational! THIS is a Kick Ass Event, and YOU will have a front row seat!

3) Discussions about WHY weed is such a cultural phenomenon WHERE we live. Cause it is, man…

And a dime bag more of fun shit too!

THE FINE PRINT! No Cancellations!!! All sales are final. This is a limited number event, so if you buy a seat and cancel, some other Ass-Kicker won’t be able to come. Your sale is final! Cascadia2

YOU MUST BE 21! Bring an Oregon or other US STATE ID, or your Passport.

DO NOT DRIVE HOME! Take the bus, MAX, streetcar or a Radio cab. Have a sober friend drive you home. Do not drive!

If YOU make a mess on the bus, and we incur additional cleaning fees, YOU will be charged that full amount. By your purchase, you agree to this shit…

YOU MUST HAVE FUN! (ok – you don’t HAVE to have fun… but you should!)

NOTE: It has been asked that smoking (of any substance) is NOT an activity to be conducted on the bus. I request that you respect this request. Cause we don’t want to roll around town looking like this, do we???
