Thanks anon. Here's where the king blew his brains out.

>>12567811
did he actually do it inside?
is the house a museum now?

>>12567888
1. Yes
2. No. It's where his widow lives. I heard awhile back that she was planning on doing private tours though. Not exactly sure when. I grew up in Colorado and his widow has a small music festival at Owl Farm each year. That's how I ended up meeting her and seeing the house.

cool. what music was played at the festival

>>12567933
Mainly local acts. Nothing fancy and is family-friendly. It's meant to raise money for a local charity dedicated to wildlife conservation. Not sure if that was a one time thing though..

nice.
I was asking what genre/did it have a theme or something alike.

>>12568001
No specific theme. I don't have much to say about the music anyway. I mainly walked around, drank, and hung around the house.

>>12568025
hehe cool.
didn't expect his widow to be so young

>>12568072
She's a really sweet person. You can tell that she loved him dearly.

>>12568104
I hope so.

I thought schizophrenics weren’t very good with computers

>>12569133
Not true my schitzoid brother is pretty good with them. Delusional as fuck though

>>12565962
He's one of my favorite authors. Any chance you care to list you're very favorite books he wrote or do you love them all equally?

>>12569206
Not OP here, but I recommend anything with Ralph Steadman's art. Just not the same without it. Fear and Loathing, Curse of Lono, etc. Hells Angels - Good, but rushed. No art.

Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo by Oscar Zeta Acosta (his buddy) is good too. Highly recommend if you're a doomer.

>>12569248
I'm definitely gonna have to check these out. I've read fear and loathing but not the others. Ive also read the rum diaries but to be honest i don't remember it very well because I was kinda drunk when I read it. Do you know why was hells angels rushed?

>>12569338
The Rum Diary was a continuation of an old project that he gave up on. His widow (then editor) found the old draft for it and encouraged him to finish it. Personally, I wasn't a big fan it either. Again, Steadman's art adds character to his work.

The latter half of Hell's Angels was rushed because he had a deadline and wrote the latter half within a few days. He locked himself in a hotel room with a bunch of dexedrine and was set on finishing it by his deadline. Within a couple days, he was done. He wrote it on napkins, tissues, and receipts. It was up to his employer to sort it out.

If you enjoy Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, I'd recommend reading The Revolt of the Cockroach People as well. However, I'd recommend reading about the Chicano movement before reading about Acosta's Cucarachas. Without previous reading, it can be a bit difficult to follow.
