WE LOVE OUR PARTNERS: Amsterdam Falafel, Capitol Hemp, DC Brau, Red Onion Records, and Songbyrd Music House

As you may recall, we’ve written before about each of these partners in one way or another. This time, though, they get a joint post because they currently all have something in common (other than just being the bomb) - they’re all giving away tickets to see AND meet The Growlers here at the Club on October 10! That’s right - thanks to these five rad local businesses, you’ll be movin’ and shakin’ with the psychedelic rockers in just a matter of time!

Each partner has a different way for entering the contest, so visit their social pages to find out!

Story time! 

I interviewed the owners of Capitol Hemp last week and one of my coworkers told me to watch this. Paul Harvey was one of the best radio broadcasters of all time and whoever put this together is a great person.

PS. Heh heh heh

Capitol Hemp was raided unecesarily...and is being shut down for no reason. They don't sell weed, they are like any other shop in that area except they donated some of their profits to good causes. DONE with this government. They will shut everything down they have too, lie when they have too, cheat and steal when they have too just to be in charge.

"I'm deeply saddened by the tough decision we made to close Capitol Hemp," says co-founder Adam Eidinger. "This is a set-back for hemp enthusiasts everywhere and a sign that the nation's drug laws are victimizing law-abiding businesses without good reason. I never expected we would be able to open Capitol Hemp under the reign of George Bush without problems, but under Democratic control we have been harassed, raided, and threatened with bankruptcy."

Capitol Hemp generated more than $300,000 in local tax revenue, gave health care to its employees, sponsored the DC Roller Girls and donated money to local police and fire union charities. "The story of Capitol Hemp's demise is the story of the war on drugs being enforced by DC government as a war on free speech," says Eidinger. "Why is DC shooting itself in the foot?"

fuck the DC police

Capitol Hemp hasn't broken any laws, this was all just a political stunt, innocent people are being arrested for the sake of proving some stupid ass point.
