Yay, more real Thompson and not Anthony Bourdain's (and every other late-to-the-party-hipster-type's) tiresome imitation of same. Cazart!

Don't forget to visit the snack bar where they'll be serving human adrenal glands. This goddamn mescaline. Why the fuck can't they make it a little less pure? Maybe mix it up with Rolaids or something.

im on the edge of my seat for more gonzo! cant wait for this documentary to spread HST genius! "We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer." —"Extreme Behavior in Aspen," February 3, 2003

I wish we could get movies like this at the Uptown, and not the usual box office blockbuster garbage that they typically show.

Ian: Any idea as to whether this will be playing at the Silver or E Street?

I just started reading 'Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72' and it's amazing, I literally can't put it down. I had no idea what an insightful political writer he was! It's crazy (and depressing) how relevant his coverage of that election still is today.
