BONGS, BUDS, BEER & BBQ
With two stages, 10 bands and free beer, the 2009 Doobie Awards was all set to be our best SXSW party yet. But when the nefarious number 13 throws a cosmic monkey wrench into the works, can Bobby Black keep the event from going south? Plus, check out Austin’s best strains (all 13 of them!) at the Second Annual Cowboy Cup.
EURO GROW
HIGH TIMES sent the Cultivation Department across the pond to check in with our European counterparts and see what’s new in the EU. Turns out what’s new is a return to the old-school, with a revitalized seed trade in Spain and an influx of new (and seedy) ideas! Nico takes a closer look at the seed-vs.-clone debate and uncovers a few quirky surprises along the way.

Matt can insist all he wants, but there are still folks out there waiting for their seeds 5 months after paying for them.
BCBD does not reply to PM's or E-Mails.
Hall of Fame?
More like Hall of Shame.

Since I've never received the seeds I ordered from them I can't say if their genetics are any good, but I'll bet those full page ads they run in HT sure helped them get selected.

Loved the write-up about stoner drummers. Would have dug more detailed shots of Lou Dog's kit, though.
Does li'l Dickie know that referring to a Bong as "Marijuana equipment" could get him thrown out of any respectable headshop in the country? No Zig Zag's for you, Asscroft! (even John Walters would have said...("...ummmm..water pipe?)
Oh well. Great job done by all.
