“We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like ‘I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. . . .’” Hunter S. Thompson’s unforgettable Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was published today in 1972 by Random House.

And thou mayest aske thyself, 'How do Ich werke thys?'
And thou mayest aske thyself, 'Wher ys that large destrier?'
And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my beautiful castle!'
And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my swift goshawk!'

This little zine is nearly 40 years in the making — I made the photos in 1986, and a few years back decided to compile the photos into a zine.

Tom Banger wrote a wonderful essay to go along with the photos. And now, it's done, and I am happy to share it with you. Get your copy at the Impeller shop!

Last week I was looking up Maile Meloy’s short story collection “Both Ways Is The Only Way I Want It” and learned that Kelly Reichardt made a film (in 2016!) from several stories in that book. And what a cast! I watched the film and loved it, and I’m looking forward to rereading the stories.

i think it's good that we don't have free insulin because if we did then we wouldn't be able to afford to keep throwing fighter jets into the ocean

I switched my phone to grayscale. Your photos look 5% classier but some of you need to shoot for the shadows. But y’all, your headshots look _sharp_. Let’s get desaturated.
