Hello all,
I am still mourning hunter...but am in a much better mood today than of late. I have been collecting articles about him and have a bit of a stack. I also decided to add a few more of his books to my collection: Fear and Loathing on the campaign trail '72, and one other...Kingdom of Fear from 2003, considered to be a bit of a memoir. we shall see. JP, I will let you borrow The Great Shark Hunt. Remember the story I told you about hunter spraypainting the side of the yacht? I recalled more, and correct details: he was with ralph steadman (guy who did f and l drawings- close friend of hunter's), and they were going to spraypaint "fuck the pope" on the yacht. ahh, hunter. in that story, Ralph steadman ended up hallucinating on mescaline in NY La Guardia airport with no money, wallet or shoes. what a bad scene...
anyway, hope all are well. watched fear and loathing monday night. question: am I the first to notice the following... when hunter is slumped on the bed in the beginning throes of adrenochrome and oscar is giving him cocaine from the mirror (followed by the tits hallucination), the cocaine lines on the mirror are arranged in a Z form. has anyone else caught that? "look at your face, you're about to explode"
very cool.
love,
H
