'a/k/a Tommy Chong' opens today
Josh Gilbert's affectionate and bracing documentary a/k/a Tommy Chong - about the government's vindictive campaign against half of the infamous '70s and '80s stoner comic duo - begins its theatrical run today at New York's Film Forum.
Read reviews in the New York Times, the Village Voice and the L Magazine.
Last night's opening party for the film at Sutra turned into a smokey bacchanal, with the downstairs room resembling a Cheech & Chong movie. Attendees included Gilbert, Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling, MPP's Rob Kampia, SSDP's Kris Krane, ASA's Abby Bair, Busted! author Chris Fabricant, Susan Norget, David Peel, DJ Greg Caz, and numerous High Times staffers and Bonghitters.
