One of the buggers about night classes is that I end up staying up all night despite being dog tired, but I guess that's a good thing for anyone reading this.
OK, here we go, a web mag called Radar posted a pic and some analysis of HST's appearance in the Converse ads. And there's some commentage on BoingBoing. I don't know how to feel about a branded sneaker, but it's better than, say, gonzo branded underwear. Gawker also chimes in.
Oh, and William F. Buckley passed away. |

I haven't found the visuals yet, but Converse plans to use HST, among celebrities, in their spring 2008 campaign. Full press release here here. |

| Another gonzo book...and film |

The Aspen Times has a preview of The Kitchen Readings, Untold Stories of Hunter S. Thompson written by HST's friends Michael Cleverly and Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis.
This wasn't quite on my radar, but writer and director Blue Kraning's film Blasted!!! is now available on DVD from his website. It's a look at some of the cannon owners who submitted essays as to why their cannon would be most suitable for launching HST's ashes. The YouTube links don't work on the site, but here's the link for them.

My friend Mr. B sent me a bunch of links for postification -

Then of course there's always the IMDb page.
I spent a few hours in the studio again this weekend and I'll probably be there again this upcoming one. April can't come fast enough :-) |

I guess it's coming out sooner than I thought...or at least it's been screened sooner than I thought. Check out the film's page on The Sundance Festival's website for more info. |
