No doubt! We should definitely organize something, or we'll all just meet at the NYC Gathering this year. 
I'm going to head over to the event now to help yogabunny and everyone else set up.
Peaceee

So I saw the Chicago premiere of it this past Monday. The film was definitely powerful. As I sat there watching these people wax eloquently on their experiences, I realized, "That person in prison could be anyone of us, at any point in time, for any reason whatsoever." If that thought doesn't motivate you to do something about the drug war, I don't know what will.
Everyone here is going to think I'm kissing YB's ass by saying this but I can't help it: the part I personally related to most was YB's testimonial about how their was this communication barrier between her and her loved ones that she couldn't even begin to breach. I've felt and still feel this exact way. When my parents caught me with some morning glory seeds and some of my 'weird' books, it turned into a conversation that they just couldn't understand. I remember at one point my dad saying, "If you want to feel good or have fun, why don't you just have a beer or two? Why do you have to use drugs?" At that point in the conversation I just shut down and let them finish ranting. It's a hard thing for me to face because I know that psychedelics are going to be a part of my life forever and to have to hide that from the people that are closest to me? God damn, ain't that a bitch.

Yeah I was really thinking that there was no hypocrisy in her reasoning. LSD and Mushrooms are "in line" with a healthy lifestyle; yoga, exercise, eating right. There's no dissonance and those substances are the opposite of poisons...

So I was there yesterday.
The movie was PHENOMENAL. Very eye-opening, very informative, much applause, many laughs, many 's at some of the shit said in it, and dwpineal THANK YOU FOR DONATING THE PENDANTS. I got a sweet LSD pendant with the eagle within the pyramid (though LSA is my favorite over LSD, I'll wear it synonymously) and it would've been awesome if you'd sent in a pendant too! >_<
There was a panel after the movie in which many of the faces in the movie actively answered whatever questions the audience had (it was pretty packed too!)
And yogabunny (who was also in the movie), I am VERY fucking happy that this event was as big a success as it turned out to be, all your hard work paid off! And it was nice seeing you again, wished I could've helped out ALOT more.

As a grown man, I still cannot engage my parents with any fruitful conversation revolving around my psychedelic use either past or present. It's unreal how much damage the drug war and drug war propaganda has done on the older generation. I feel everyone's pain that has this wonderful gift they've been given through their use of psychs and yet they cannot even share it with their closest of kin.

I just recently finished both the book and the movie. If you haven't read the book yet you really need to. His personal experience is one a lot of us can relate to and his description of the psychological affects of being in jail/prison are phenominal.
Reading the book before the movie I had a different idea of what some of the testimonials would focus on. Thought it would be a little harsher on the system and go into a bit more detail in some of the figures. Its really hard to cut it all down to 2 hrs though. Overall a great movie though.
As people have said above yb's story is easy to relate to. My dad partied during the late 70's and 80's, "luud'ing out" every weekend, occassionally doing blow, and of course smoking pot yet he has a problem with my occassional psychedelic usage.
PS: The other Shroomerite on there I noticed did a good job too. I haven't seen him mention anything about it so I won't point him out but just wanted to give him his props as well.

there are a lot of things i want/need to say in response to all of the comments here and about the NYC screening this past friday, but i want to say this first...even if my mom saw that clip of me speaking in the documentary, i think her response would be something sarcastic like "I can't believe after everything you've been through, that you'd say psychedelics were beneficial to you!?"
My arrest experience in just fodder for all the negative feelings she has about psychedelics. feelings that are all based in fear propaganda from the 70's. she may never understand.

I know how it is, As you can imagine my parents are not too happy with psychedelics after the whole 8 Month LSD Trip thing and all that...Just mention Rainbow Family or Dead Tour for the first few years after and Mom would get super uptight

it's so frustrating because i feel like i was on the verge of being able to "come out" to them, and now i am just back to square one.

she did send me a really sweet email the day of the event, even though she was/is very opposed to my involvement with the project......
