DESCRIPTION:TOMMY CHONG\nWednesday, August 9th // 7 pm\n- talk & booksigning \n\nOn the 
 morning of February 24, 2003, agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement 
 Administration launched a sting called Operation Pipe Dreams and forced 
 themselves through the door of Tommy Chong's California home, with 
 automatic weapons drawn. As a result of the raid on his home; the 
 simultaneous ransacking of his son's company, Chong Glass; and the Bush 
 administration's determination to make an example out of the "Pope of Pot;" 
 Chong was sentenced to nine months in prison because his company shipped 
 bongs to a head shop in Pennsylvania that was a front for the DEA. 
 \n\nBeloved stoner comedian Tommy Chong is now older, wiser, and officially 
 an ex-con. His just published memoir, "I Chong: Meditations from the 
 Joint", tell his side of the story. Introspective, inspiring, and 
 incendiary, it is a spiritual exploration of his time in prison, and a 
 political indictment of the eroding civil liberties in post-9/11 American 
 society. \n\nAuthor events are free and are sponsored by The Booksmith 
 (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco). For further information, call 
 415-863-8688 or visit www.booksmith.com \n\n
