San Bernardino, CA-Hempcon
On Friday, April 18th and continuing on
through the weekend, Hempcon is one of California’s biggest
medical marijuana shows being held at the National Orange Show in San
Bernardino. They cater to those who may be benefited from the medical use of
marijuana*. This will be one of the premiere events of the year with a huge
amount of exhibits including medical marijuana dispensaries, collectives, care
givers, evaluation services, legal services, educational institutes, equipment,
accessories, and much more.
Hempcon isn’t just for smokers though. It will be an
educational event as well with a full weekend of seminars and presentations by
industry leaders, advocates, and attorneys. This convention is great for people wanting to
learn more about the legal and medical side of marijuana. Doctors will be on
hand to give evaluations and their opinions to weather medical marijuana is
right for you or someone you know. Whether you are a patient or someone who
wants to get educated more about medical marijuana, you have got to be there.
Also you can come and enjoy some of the music entertainment provided by some
well-known marijuana advocates. Tickets start at $20 at the door. For more
information and a list of entertainers, visit the Hempcon website.
*All medical marijuana consumption is prohibited unless you
provide proof of your medical recommendation from a doctor in accordance with PROPOSITION 215, the California Compassionate Use Act.

Los Angeles CA: MYTH Masquerade Ball
Have you ever wanted to attend a real decadent Faerie
Tale Ball?
This is the MYTH Masque: an exquisite, transformational
experience that fires the imagination and elevates the senses. High fashion
meets high fantasy. In the spirit of MYTH, dismiss your mortal skin in
favor of a truer form. The boundaries of reality are laughably defied as you become
the impossible, through expression and costuming of the highest creative caliber.
For one spectacular night, the chimerical energy you invoke is no fiction. This
is make-believe, all grown up
. One might encounter a magnificent wolf, be
beguiled by nymphs or ride an eight foot tall rocking unicorn. MYTH
Masque is a veritable feast for the senses that challenges its
attendees to become 'A myth of their own making'.
The first two annual MYTH Masquerades debuted to enthusiastic crowds of award-winning costume designers,
makeup-artists, avant-garde fashionistas and other wildly creative
attendees. On May 24th, for its Third Annual Affair, MYTH spreads
its wings at the spectacular Los Angeles Theatre, to present: ‘Thrice Upon a
Dream’. MYTH will transform the magnificent Film Palace into
a playground for visionaries wishing to immerse themselves in a wonderland
of inspiration. Guests may escape into a night of dreams that offers an
array of amazing visuals, music, dancing, live performances, drinks, hors
d'oeuvres, and other tantalizing treats.
Unique highlights of the Third Annual MYTH
Masquerade Ball include 'Sanctuary of the Sirens,' wherein guests are
invited to mingle with the Mermaids of MYTH. Music, artistry, dancers,
and performance forge an elegant dreamscape of enchanted revelry where
legend and inspiration come to play. These showcases of spectacles are able to
weave themselves into the fabric of the fantasy. Masque guests can expect Electronica, 80s,
Medieval and other styles of music that focus on instrumentation and expression.
Energetic, well-known dance music will also fill the grand halls of the Los Angeles Theatre. Earlier in
the evening, guests will enjoy a set of elegant Waltzes, as any formal ball should have. The
dark-hearted denizens will dance to deliciously tenebrous tunes in the Chambre du Vampire, our exclusive vampire club, where
guests can explore the darker, more seductive side of the ball, deep within the
shadowy recesses of the Masquerade.
VIP Passport holders are escorted to the 'purple carpet'
by Unicorn-drawn carriage, and formally heralded upon arrival in true
regal fashion. The VIP Reception also includes early evening entertainment,
complimentary drinks from our Sponsors, a special champagne service by
live Mermaids, as well as gourmet cupcakes and other enticing bites. Our
most esteemed guests will enjoy exclusive access to secluded VIP Lounges on each
level of the Theatre.
Attendees will also discover imaginative and interactive
photo-op areas throughout the Masquerade, in which to showcase their brilliant
costumes and indulge their inner child. Formal portraits in the gorgeous
Baroque Los Angeles Theatre are available, and enter your own impressive
costume creations into a $500 First Place "Costumers'
Challenge," with 2015 MYTH Masque tickets as additional prizes. Costumes
(or black tie/formal attire with a mask) are required for this upscale
affair.
Tickets are on sale online. Visit the
site for a list of entertainers and more information. A portion of proceeds
from ticket sales are donated to BUSTED FOUNDATION, an organization
that supports breast cancer victims who are unable to cover the costs of
treatment.
