Things that are true: Man on a Wire, Gonzo the Hunter S. Thompson Documentary, are- amazing. If you haven't seen Man on a wire SEE IT. The Gonzo doc, wow, I don't know what to say, it wasn't that the thing was so great, it was aight, but The Dukes life was so intense, bizarre and oddly beautiful, without trying to glamorize the obvious pain and horrible addiction he couldn't free himself from, but wow, the man was talented, beautiful, and could rock a pair of white converse. I never gave Gonzo much attention because I was always very enraptured with Miss Didion. I am now a Gonzo-ite. Hail to the Duke.
After that Marianne and her sister Lisa and I roadtripped it back to CA, where we stopped at the George Patton Museum and saw some of the freakiest shit I've ever seen shoved into a weird room on the side of the desert. It was like that scene in Beavis n Butthead when they do peyote and trip to White Zombie n Rat Fink.
Then we stopped at Shields in palm desert or as Marianne said, "screw those asses at Hadley's". For real, Shields is the bomb, 10 times better than Hadley's and doesn't serve bananas. Then we stopped at the dinosaurs and went inside the Wheel Inn. We are going to fire bomb that burger king that moved in next store and is stealing business from the wheel inn, and blocking the view of the dinosaurs. If you look down at my little "about me, my profile" pic, where I'm like, six, I'm wearing my wheel inn shirt. im proud of that one. and then we waved at the morongo casino and sailed home into the bright lights of the inland empire and the many meth labs that dotted the freeway hills.
I also went to the LA Record Christmas party before I left and burned the midnight oil with nerd headquarters. Aw, there's nothing like a powerful, obsessive, ego maniacal, multi-talented nerd to send you off into the desert night.
