Think Morgan Spurlock's popular Super Size Me, only this time, marajuana instead of McDonald's.

Premiering at Austin's vital SXSW Film Festival this week is Super High Me, part concert film and part investigative documentary. Featuring comedian Doug Benson, named "Stoner of the Year" by High Times magazine in 2006, it explores medical marajuana in the United States. As part of the movie, Benson smokes marajuana all day, every day for 30 days while he performs his stand up routine and the documentary looks at the effects it has on his body.

Super High Me is set for an intriguing distribution strategy. Uniquely understanding its audience, both their penchant for laziness and interest in partaking in certain illegal activities, Super High Me will be available for free on DVD. Just sign up on the film's website and you receive a limited shelflife DVD to screen at home with your friends, instead of having to go to the theatre and see it sober. The strategy has been devised to execute cost effective word of mouth screenings for the official DVD release on June 17.

When will the film be available? You guessed it, April 20, 2008, or simply, 4/20. Visit the films official website to register for a free DVD by mail, just pay shipping, at www.superhighmemovie.com.

Vel Phillips on Kovac: "a true progressive" -------- Text of letter from Vel Phillips (see it at www.kovac08.com): March 25, 2008 I know and respect Nik Kovac. He is a good friend and a true progressive. As a fair and insightful journalist, Nik conducted one of the last in-depth interviews with former mayor Frank Zeidler. As a community activist, Nik has participated with me and other progressive leaders in our monthly Community Brainstorming sessions. Nik also joined me in marching over the Groppi Bridge as part of our commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the civil rights struggle here in Milwaukee. A few weeks ago, Nik asked me if he could refer to me as one of his heroes in his campaign literature. I was honored by the request. I have seen the brochure in which Nik uses my name and picure. I approve. I am flattered that Nik thought my name and picture would be helpful to his campaign. Because of my position as chair of the Political Action Committee of Community Brainstorming I did not think it would be appropriate for me to issue a formal endorsement. However, I am pleased to give Nik as much support as possible. Vel Phillips
