Free passes to tonight’s screening of Gonzo
June 30th, 2008 by David Lee Simmons in Film
We’ve got a ton of free passes to see tonight’s screening of Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson, which I review in the next issue, at Landmark Midtown Art Cinema. (Hint: I likey.) Just email me at davidlee.simmons@creativeloafing.com. One huge caveat: The promoters of these screenings always encourage folks to get there early, as these passes don’t guarantee admittance, and they’re often over-booked. Just FYI. You can pick up the passes at the front desk of our offices in the Northyards office complex. (Use Google maps; it’s most reliable for directions. Call 404-688-5623 if you get lost.) We close our doors at 5 p.m. sharp.
Also, check out Cliff Bostock’s excellent tribute to Hunter S. Thompson on the occasion of the journalist’s passing back in 2005, in his “Headcase” column. And here’s the official trailer …

And sometimes they can be REALLY overbooked. TONS of people showed up for the ‘Wanted’ screening — I’m not sure how the publicists prevented a riot from breaking out.
