The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!

[Knur Ris]

Will there be a Dining with D&K this month?

[dougbenson]

maybe. we're trying to line up a guest and a chef at a time when both karen and i can do it, and that's not easy.

(it'll happen someday!)

[StrangeLight]

so the LA city council has voted to unanimously close marijuana dispensaries. some early adopters might be grandfathered in, but most will be closed. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...cal-marijuana/

how are you holding up, doug? thoughts?

edit: this is genuine concern on my part and real interest in your opinion, but i realized this sounds kinda smug and i don't know how to rephrase it. i love pot and LA seemed like a magical land of delicious dank bud to me.

[dougbenson]

yeah, it sucks. for the dispensaries and the patients. i won't have any problem getting weed and smoking weed, but i feel bad for everyone else this effects.

Hi Doug! I just spent the latter part of my day at work creating a kick-ass nametag. I'll have to work on Sunday to make up the billable hours, but it was totally worth it! Can't wait for your show tomorrow! I've been praying you would perform in Pittsburgh since I moved here three years ago. Yay Doug's coming to town!

Smooches,
Kelly

[dougbenson]

[Travesty.]

What did you think about TDKR?

[dougbenson]

How would one go about spotting you in Blade Runner? What scene? What are you wearing? etc

Is it a street crowd scene where you're somewhere in the middle, or are you actually clearly visible?

Page 59 of this thread has a bunch of information about it. Someone even had screenshots but looks like they are gone now.

Thanks!

[misscritta]

Thanks for all the bonus material this week! As a suggestion for a new Dining with D & K you should check out Towne in downtown LA. I went last week. Had the pork belly sliders, lobster mac and beef cheek pot roast. So good. Plus they had gourmet pop tarts, twinkies and push-pops with homemade ice cream for desert. It's almost like the menu was made to cater to upscale stoners.
