UPCOMING – July 14th, 2012

An unabridged continuous live reading of the book “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” by Hunter S. Thompson

Fat City, CO— Hunter S. Thompson very much enjoyed hearing his work read out loud and in the moment. It could be an older piece or something new. Reading aloud made the writing come alive.

In that spirit and to celebrate what would be the journalist’s 75th birthday, The Gonzo Reading Project is hosting a continuous reading of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: a Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream” on Saturday, July 14th. at The Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado. The live performance project is scheduled to begin at noon and take about seven hours—depending upon circumstances.

Friends from far and wide will gather to participate and read at one the iconic institutions in Gonzo literature.

“Slower,” Hunter would inevitably say to the reader. He wrote his work to have a certain cadence, and he liked to hear every comma. If you are interested in reading a part ofFear and Loathing in Las Vegas please email: info@gonzoreadingproject.com.
