reggae vibes and The Kyle Turley Band chipped in with some alt-rock spirit. Known for their specialty cocktails and appetizer-sized bites, the V Lounge made sure everyone was good and tossed. When looking around, everyone appeared a bit pie-eyed with a drink(s) in hand—signs of a successful event. The 420 Games have a San Francisco edition in August, as well as stops in Colorado, Seattle and Oregon. Just like the Santa Monica rendition, those events will also feature marathons, mountain bike races (for Colorado and Oregon), and other competitions in support of de-stigmatizing marijuana and celebrating its empowering properties. See you next year!
