As a kid, I only wanted to be one thing when I grew up--COOL. At the age of ten I discovered my parents' vinyl collection, and started growing my hair long by eleven. I smoked my first joint at twelve, got drunk for the first time at thirteen, and was in my first moshpit by fifteen. Then in my senior year at college, I was offered an internship at HIGH TIMES, and my life changed forever. Over the past 13 years, my adventures with HT have taken me tons of exciting places, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Burning Man, Napa, Barcelona and Amsterdam, where I've attended the Cannabis Cup eleven times. I've had the opportunity to interview and party with models, directors, artists, movie stars, rock stars and porn stars. I've gotten invited to (or crashed) countless screenings, openings, photo shoots, parties, clubs and concerts. I've smoked weed with stoner icons like Snoop Dog, Jason Mewes, Ozzy Osbourne and Tommy Chong. And all of this just because of two magic little words: HIGH TIMES. That, my friends, is what the BBD--the Bigger, Better Deal--is all about. I'm just a regular guy who likes to get high, get laid and listen to great music just like anybody else, but thanks to HIGH TIMES I'm able to take it to the next level--and thanks to ALMOST INFAMOUS, you can come along for the ride. LIFE IS A PARTY - WELCOME TO THE VIP LIST

  • ALMOST INFAMOUS - LEGACY OF BRUTALITY

    Thu Feb 11, 2010

    -

    Rebelling against all the spandex and makeup of the LA glam scene in the early 1980s, a number of bands from the San Francisco Bay Area took a rawer, more no-nonsense approach to their metal.  Their relentless riffage and angst-fueled, socially conscious lyrics were the hallmark of what became known in the mid- to late ’80s as “thrash” metal. Among these pioneers of power were Metallica, Death Angel, Exodus and Testament.


    Over the next two decades, Testament would cement their status as thrash icons, releasing eight albums and touring with heavyweights like Anthrax, Megadeth, Judas Priest and Slayer. Throughout their numerous lineup changes and personal challenges (including singer Chuck Billy’s being diagnosed with cancer in 2001), they never lost their passion, integrity or legion of devoted fans. But now, with original members Alex Skolnick, Eric Peterson and Greg Christian (along with ’90s drummer Paul Bostaph) returning to the …READ MORE

  • ALMOST INFAMOUS - SMOKIN' WITH DR. G

    Tue Oct 20, 2009

    -

    I sat in Barney’s Uptown perusing the new menu and enjoying a Jupiler ale while I waited for the restaurant’s owners, Derry and his wife Sissi, to arrive. We’d made plans to meet here for dinner and discuss how my coffeeshop feature was going.  When they showed up, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they’d brought along a guest—Dr. David Grinspoon, who was in town to sample a new strain named after his dad, Dr. Lester Grinspoon.


    If you’re not familiar with the name, you should be. Over the past 30 years, this associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School has been one of the most respected, outspoken and brilliant advocates for marijuana legalization. His activist career began with his 1971 book, Marijuana Reconsidered—the landmark legalization bible that made the case for the legitimate value of cannabis. In the service of science and truth, Dr. Grinspoon has testified in dozens of trials as an expert …READ MORE

  • ALMOST INFAMOUS - TRAILBLAZERS

    Tue Oct 20, 2009

    -

    Growing up in Bensonhurst, the closest I ever came to camping was chasing chipmunks at my grandparents’ place in New Hampshire. But then, toward the end of junior high, I got a serious hankering for the forest. So my mom called up her friend Charlie (who happened to head up a Boy Scout troop) and arranged for my friend Mike and I to go on a weekend camping trip with him. Now I wasn’t exactly what you’d call Boy Scout material, but luckily, there was another option: Charlie also organized “unofficial” camping trips for a ragtag bunch of Irish teenagers from Gerritsen Beach—a dirty dozen of ginger punks in battle fatigues who called themselves the Trailblazers.


    Mike and I were psyched. Along with our standard camping gear, we packed an assortment of Led Zeppelin cassettes and knives, plus a cigarette box containing a lighter, a pack of Bambú, a small corncob pipe and two dime bags. You know what they say: Be …READ MORE

  • ALMOST INFAMOUS - TALES OF BRAVE BUKOWSKI

    Tue Oct 20, 2009

    -

    By juxtaposing philosophy and philandering, the sublime with the obscene, and the profound with the profane, authors like Henry Miller and Louis-Ferdinand Céline created some of the most poetic, erotic and existential works of fiction ever written. But perhaps the grittiest and most misanthropic of this degenerate elite was Charles Bukowski.


    The son of German immigrants raised in Los Angeles, Bukowski was the ultimate slacker anti-hero. He had no goals or ambitions, no money, worked shitty blue-collar jobs and screwed sleazy women. He didn’t care about politics, or wealth, or fame, or even art—all he cared about was horse racing, whores, whiskey and fistfights. Unlike the idealistic hippies who spent the ’60s engaging in social protests and free love, Bukowski spent them punching a clock at the post office and getting shitfaced in dive bars.


    Through the eyes of his barely fictional protagonist Hank Chinaski, Buke explored and …READ MORE

  • Rock Legend Dickie Peterson Dies

    Tue Oct 13, 2009

    -

    Dicki Peterson, founder, frontman and bassist for the legendary rock group Blue Cheer, passed away yesterday (Oct. 12th) in Germany after a battle with prostate cancer. He was 61 years old. 

     

    Named after a type of LSD, Blue Cheer emerged from the 60's psychedelic rock scene of Haight-Ashbury and began gigging at every club in San Francisco and Los Angeles, quickly earning the respect of fellow musicians on the scene. With their biker attitude and wall of Marshall amps, Cheer were considered by many to be the first American  heavy metal band, and were even the first to be named the World's Loudest Band by the Guiness Book of Records.


    Cheer released their first album Vincebus Eruptum in 1968, and had a big hit with their cover of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues,” which reached No. 14 on the Billboard chart. It wasn’t long before Cheer were touring with all the major acts of the day—Hendrix, Cream …READ MORE

  • HEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CONTEST: WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!

    Mon Aug 31, 2009

    -

    We get so many letters every day from people who are dying to work at HIGH TIMES that I finally decided to do something about it. So in the August 2009 edition of my column ALMOST INFAMOUS, I announced a contest that would allow one lucky stoner to become an honorary HT "Editor-For-a-Day."  The requirements were simple: a resume, a writing sample and some photos. There was also an option for an extra credit video resume to be posted on http://420.com. Kudos to those few of you who took the time and effort to submit a video. Some of you didn't even submit all of the components required, and lost points as a result.

     

    The deadline for entry was August 1st. I'd received about 20 entries, and then on the last day I received about 20 more (shame on you, you procrastinating stoners!). Because of this, the winner announcement which was originally scheduled for …READ MORE
