Alas, it looks like the end of the H*E*M*P Bar, closed by official decree and thus, we are counting down the hours until our last live web images are uploaded on Friday the 29th of August at 4.20 P.M, I am sure you will join us for the "Premature Ejaculation Ceremony" during which, Cannabis Dave will be evicted... naturally, this page will updated as we wind down, or is it up?

August 29th 2008 UP DATE:12.AM ... 4 hours 20 minutes to go .........

We are into the final stretch of a very long journey, about to finish our reefer madness demonstration with the fastest most professional eviction compliance in the history of evictions.... Local Community Support has been overwhelming and humbling. Lots of people have promised to lend a 'hand' and we are totally looking forward to this afternoons 'finale' performance of our long running 4.20 protest.  www.nimfm.org is providing live radio coverage and there is a bewildering array of cameras jockeying for pole position to capture this afternoons youtube extravaganza. Indeed, it feels a lot like the last day of high school, graduation day, the hard work is all done, the results of our exam are as yet unknown, the future is an uncharted and exciting place, sadness tinged with euphoria....

August 29th 2008 UP DATE: 8.40 PM

youtube links will be supplied as soon as we find the 'fire wire' and transfer 'the footage', seems that as well as a 42.0 string band (7 guitarists) we had the www.abc.net.au live radio team doing a national radio broadcast ! For those of you who watched the webshow you would have seen perhaps the busiest 4 minutes and 20 seconds of our entire history, still writing more words as the party swirls around me, a party that, at its peak, took up all the footpath out side the H*E*M*P Embassy, the Hall and the pub next door, wow wow wow wow what an out pouring of emotions and also a sense of closure, now that the door is closed. As far as I am aware, the door to the street will stay closed for as long as the courts decide, but it looks for sure that there is going to be quite a campaign by the citizens of Nimbin to get the doors of their H*E*M*P Bar back open again... Yep, certainly the most colourful eviction I have ever been to, not I hasten to add, that I have been to that many evictions.... Found the firewire and now we are doing some rough editing of 'the footage'....... This website of course is not going anywhere, in fact its about to balloon with images and become bigger and bulkier than ever before so it's a bit early to be removing this webpage from your favorites.....

So where does the journey head next? We have no idea, at the moment the inside of the H*E*M*P*Bar is being cleaned, we have taken the 4.20 clock off the wall, all the H*E*M*P*Bar merchandize, all the stickers, keyrings, plates, plaques and teeshirts are being moved out to make way for the next 'crewww' of activists to decorate/brand the 'cyber set'. We have gigantic collection of photos and documents and mementos from the thousands of 'activists' who visited the H*E*M*P*Bar over the years to 'store' and it is quite an overwhelming task.

There are NO PLANS to open the door to the street while we are disassembling the cyber set because one of the webcams will be restarting because we realized that if we took pictures of the 'disassembly' of the H*E*M*P*Bar, if we 'run' them backwards it would look like we are putting it together, I mention this because the images wont be timed stamped, nor will it have a caption.
