A few moments later, the doors flew open and what could be termed as "questionable" smoke began billowing out of the vans. It was like a cross between a Cheech and Chong outtake and a hip-hop version of Spinal Tap. People began pouring from the vehicles: road crew, friends, uncles, second cousins, assorted baby's-mamas and random groupies and hangers-on. And at long last, the star of the show. As his tall, lanky frame made its way from his ground transportation and into the venue, what he was carrying caught my eye. In Snoop's right hand was a coffee grinder that clearly had seen extensive use, none of which involved coffee beans. In his left hand was just under a trash sack full of weed. Needless to say, the mood of the venue turned into that of the neighborhood block parties you've always heard about but never seemed to be invited to. Everyone was drinking, dancing, carousing and having a blast, with Snoop Dogg providing the soundtrack. He played all the hits, made everyone smile and, without a doubt, gave everyone their money's worth. If you missed it the first time in an intimate setting, don't make the same mistake again. Just make sure you inform your employer you have a "doctor's appointment" until around lunchtime the next day, so as to give yourself time to recover.
