DENVER: Some launches get announced. This one got felt. High Times Local officially hit Denver with our premier issue release party, and for one night, the whole thing came off the page and into real life. The room had that rare kind of energy you can’t fake: old-school heads, new-school operators, artists, growers, advertisers, readers, friends, and people who just knew something was happening and needed to be there. Then Talib Kweli stepped in and reminded everybody what a real room sounds like. It wasn’t just a party. It was a little proof of concept. Denver showed up, the culture I used to have a subscrip- tion to High Times, back in the day, when I was a teenager. I'm showing my age. I was born in 1975. I've been doing this for a long time. It doesn't matter what age you are, If you love real music, and you love real vibes, and you love real connections, then you’re in here tonight at this event. - Talib Kweli Talib Kweli showed up, and the first issue of High Times Local didn’t just land on shelves, it got a proper welcome. For a few hours, it felt less like a launch and more like a reunion for something people didn’t realize they’d been missing. Somewhere between the music, the smoke, the art, and the stack of fresh issues making their way around the room, Denver got its first real taste of what High Times Local is here to be. For everyone who made it out, thank you. For everyone who missed it, well… we’ll try not to rub it in too hard. But yeah, you probably should’ve been there.
