gonzocanuckThis is so long overdue, but the weather we've been having is exhausting. Double exhausting since I slipped and fell a week ago and, well, I must have the back of an 80 year old ;-)
The NYT's Proof Blog has an interesting story called My Fantasy Relapse, where Sacha Z. Scoblic writes about a fantasy of meeting HST.
Apparently The Rum Diary has started principal photography according to this press release. Here's a brief note about Amaury Nolasco joining the cast.
I'm still trying to decide if this is a wee early April Fool's joke...but the Colorado NORML branch is offering $1000 to an attorney to attend an Aspen legal seminar in June.
There's another new book about HST out called Hunter S. Thompson: An Insider's View of Deranged, Depraved, Drugged Out Brilliance. This was really not on my radar but you can read a review here and here.
It looks like HST is also included in a new anthology about Nevada called (drumroll) Literary Nevada. The excerpt is from FLLV, but don't forget that HST also wrote "Fear and Loathing in Elko" back in 1992. Elko, Nevada is the cowboy poetry capital, IIRC.
And lastly, William McKeen, author many books on journalism and HST, has a book blog!
