The Flavr Blue, the band. QUINN RUSSELL BROWN
There were gold streamers and strings of blue lights in Lux Pot Shop’s parking lot in Ballard. There were people shoulder-swaying to roller disco beats, ping-pong players in the corner, and a giant Connect Four game.
It was the store’s third birthday, and Lux had gone all-out in transforming the outdoor space into a play place any stoner would love. There was free barbecue and coffee ice cream, a pop-up art sale, and a DJ set by the Seattle electronic hiphop trio the Flavr Blue.
Inside the store, a fresh strain of weed was premiering, also called the Flavr Blue. A brand-new hybrid you currently can’t buy anywhere else in the world, it was the reason I’d made the trek out to Ballard.
