"Chatting with Betsy" has a delightful brand-new interview with me, "Journeying Through Life's Synchronicities," #ChattingwithBetsy. The previous interview we did bounced all the way to a listener in Vienna, where it sparked the plan to found a Gonzofest Europe - whose first event then started percolating in Dublin, Ireland, tentatively for September 2024. But it was a tall lift to find a venue still available on that short notice. We have a tremendous lineup of talent ready to jump in a plan...

First, the latest. Romain Thomassin, a French filmmaker, is right now editing down hours and hours of film, made on location in mi-October for a commissioned 15-minute documentary on Hunter S. Thompson and San Francisco - featuring Hell's Angels. For that, he interviewed Peter Richardson, David Streitfeld, and me on location, in Hunter's old hanging-out spots there. Just wrapped up. Now the hours and hours of film are being edited down to fit the show format. Final edits are in Paris in De...

I went down to Louisville, KY, one of my favorite places, for six days to haunt the sound studio of Bill Hardesty, who took the photo of me at the Brown Hotel above. An expert photographer but an even more expert at sound engineering. Ron Whitehead sat at my side almost the whole time and read two poems by me and the end-of-the-book essays. Otherwise, I read every word of the book myself, a massive undertaking. A huge thanks to Ron, who set everything up. And to Bill for being fearless and gene...

Above: Grant Goodwine - Hunter on the Coast Highway One of many images at the Canessa Gallery exhibit - one of the best. The festival took us back to where it all began, the letters Hunter wrote FROM a tiny apartment in San Francisco in 1966 and after have returned to their original home in coffeetable book form. Join us as we celebrate. Also, this is the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. And the book that started it all, Hell's Angels, had it fift...

He was an incorrigible self-mythologiser and the books about him tend to incorporate many of h...

As my plane was hours late, I missed the Frazier Museum tour the first time round. The next day Rory Feehan returned there with me. With an Irish flare he devoured every detail of the exhibit, as did I. Two of these photos were taken by him. I particularly like the one of us together. As I'd sat in the kitchen right beside that stool many years before, I was glad it was so well reconstructed. A wonderful expe...
