How can we get our hands on some of that Martian lake water to fill our bongs? Oh sorry, this is supposed to be about show #396. We just filled our bongs with LA tap water on this night. Hot Tub started the show with a flowing river of mellifluous melodies. Jackie Subeck took us through her music career beginnings through the wormhole to her work as a Marijuana rights lobbyist and educator and she brought a cool set of music that tells her story. Jackie also brought out White Buffalo and Mary Jane University for a sampling session in our "Green Room" to display and educate our guests on some cool Marijuana products and services.
LA Femme Pop helped us curate the night of live music and they shot the moon and then some.
Serena Foster blasted us off with pop music pomp, Marygold was a diamond of delicious music and dancing, Ralphy returned to rock and stage roll with choruses and choreography (and costume changes!) and Robin Taylor hip checkered us with hop and pop and special guests.
If that wasn't enough our world famous dance party with DJ Hot Tub capped the night late.

JACKIE SUBECK (HEY JACKPOT, GUEST INTERVIEW/DJ SET)
A journey from music to China to cannabis
Jackie Subeck, a dynamic and strategically-minded entrepreneur, is Chief Executive Officer and founder of Hey Jackpot, LLC, a lifestyle cannabis brand focusing on business consulting, live events and advocacy. Up until early 2017, she also served as Vice Chair of Women Grow Los Angeles for nearly two years, developing and producing one of the most successful cannabis business networking events in the LA area, now rebranded as Connecting Cannabis. Prior to engaging in the cannabis industry, Jackie spent her time as founder and CEO of Footprint Worldwide, a China-centric entertainment marketing, branding, and production company based in Los Angeles and Beijing. With achievements spanning across the globe including 30 years in the music industry and 13 years in China, Jackie most recently served as Music and Post Production consultant to DreamWorks Animation in Shanghai. Throughout her career, she has produced hundreds of projects and combined forces with high profile talent including Madonna, Linkin Park, Quincy Jones, and eight time Grammy winners, The Manhattan Transfer.
In early 2015, Jackie made a pivotal life decision that her experience, passion and years of startups and business knowledge would be far better served in the nascent cannabis industry. Coming into the marijuana field as an outsider provided Jackie the unique opportunity to enjoy fresh and untainted perspectives, to think differently, and to design, develop and execute new models to service the entire global cannabis space. The launch of Hey Jackpot! is her first startup in the cannabis business.
Jackie is a member of NCIA, the National Cannabis Industry Association, The Los Angeles Cannabis Task Force and the Drug Policy Alliance and sits on the Governing Affairs Committee for the West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. She worked on the Adult Use of Marijuana Act/Prop 64 campaign to legalize cannabis in California and continues her advocacy by working closely with the State’s cannabis bureau on licensing and regulations as well as locally with cities including West Hollywood and Beverly Hills to help create fair, equitable and inclusive cannabis policy for everyone.
Jackie was educated at University of California Santa Barbara and regularly volunteers her time to advocacy, education, policy, and philanthropic organizations spanning from entertainment to cannabis.
