Im just getting into 'When the going gets werid', the biography of Thompson. This man intregues me, hes amazingly witty, smart and outspoken. His books are very interesting and the only thing that seems to out live them is his own life. Any toughts on him?

He was the guy that fear and loathing in las vegas was modeled after. Jhonny Depp lived with him up in the mountains for a while to learn what he was like. I think hes tripped 20 to many times though

Hes a bad ass dude!




Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.
