The Ladies' Cannabus Cruise event was supposed to be the first big kickoff to get our name out there while "The Mothership Lounge" was being built...

What a day it was! 15 minutes after the party bus was supposed to have picked us all up, I finally got a call back from the driver, who informed me that the A/C on the bus had gone out and the backup portable air conditioner was not working. He ended up running almost an hour late because he was buying a box fan and a case of bottled water for us instead.

Despite it being a scorching hot day, the Ladies' CannaBus Cruise continued on, stopping at:

- Flying Pig Thrift

- The Market at Malcolm Yards

- Hidden Treasures

- Rewind

- Old School by Steeple People

- Leisure World Vintage

To the ladies that came: AREA 42 respects your privacy so I won't share photos here but you are welcome to share your own. That is a day I'll never forget. What rebels we were cruisin’ round the cities, blastin music, smokin’ Jane, (maybe pole dancing?) in a pink bus. Thriftin' ourselves a treat because we deserve a damn break.

I spoke with the owners about our experience, and they aren't willing to do anything about it, so I won't ever be using them again. Would I do a second trip in the future with a different company? Potentially. If you find one you want to try out, let me know! I would love to hang out with you all again. Next time, let's "hotbox" the right way.
