This and that

If you haven't noticed Johnny Depp on the cover of
Entertainment Weekly, take a closer look - he's wearing a gonzo fist pendant. Here's a pic of the cover.

According to the article, you can get a discount on gonzo merch as well - "through Jan. 1, 2010, you can get 15% off all orders over $10 by entering the promo code HOLIDAY2009 at checkout (though the site suggests placing your order by Dec. 18 to ensure delivery within the U.S.)"

The URL for the Gonzo Store, which is run by Anita Thompson, is http://www.gonzostore.com/.

It looks like another Vegas landmark is destined to be just a memory. Immortalized in FLLV, the Mint Tower is closing. I wish we had had another day to ride the Deuce at night in a big loop...it would have been quite the sight to see. Nothing is permanent I guess.

William McKeen has been updating his Facebook fan page for his book Outlaw Journalist with a lot of linkage lately, so I heartily recommend pop on over and become a fan to get more gonzo news in your FB feed.
