…check out Fear and Loathing: The Board Game.

I love Hunter S. Thompson’s work. I have multiple HST-inspired posters by Ralph Steadman (they’re framed, mind you – I’ll get real ones some day) on my walls, and I spent a semester in grad school writing a research paper on the image of the Gonzo journalist in film (yes, I am a dork). So when I saw the Fear and Loathing: The Board Game on UrbanDaddy, I was intrigued. Apparently players draw “dosage” cards that tell you how much of a particular “drug” to ingest. Sounds kind of fun, I guess. But looks like it’s more of a mixed-media art piece than a board game because it costs $3,500. I better start saving now!

By the way, I haven’t yet made it to Tony’s, Cedd Moses’ newest bar in downtown’s Arts District. I wonder how HST-inspired it really is…
