• Last Day Hunter Thompson Photo Show Tomorrow

  M B Gallery's GONZO show closes tomorrow. Says them: GONZO began as a personal collaboration with Thompson prior to his untimely death, and has since come to completion with the support of his family and estate. The show will feature many never before seen photographs from Thompson's personal archive, including shots from his early days as a foreign correspondent in Puerto Rico, living in Big Sur in the 1960s, time on the road with the Hell's Angels, illuminating self-portraits, and many

• The Quality of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Fuck

  Two films that played in Orange County in March and April to wide critical acclaim--if by "wide critical acclaim" you mean "received positive reviews from OC Weekly"--will screen up the road in that little berg that natives call Los Angeles in the days ahead. Of Quality of Life, a drama about the lives of San Francisco graffitti writers that showed at Edwards University in Irvine, we wrote: "this li'l pic packs authentic street grittiness, a kicking soundtrack (featuring the likes of Modest Mou

• Toll Road Construction Figures Rise

  By Alex Brant-Zawadzki The TCA's new number for the cost of construction for the 241 extension is $1.14 billion. However, they've tacked on additional costs not associated with the previous $875 million figure, hence the $1.3 billion figure cited in a recent LA Times article. What follows are a list of direct quotes, in a format very suitable for bullet-pointing, from TCA spokesperson Jennifer Seaton, who was kind enough to take personal time after work to call and make sure I got the informat

• Former Weekling Pignataro Lives, Writes the Maui Life

  The last time the Weekly pimped a book by Anthony Pignataro, it was El Toro Airport Watch: A No-Nonsense Guide to the Controversy Surrounding Orange County's Proposed El Toro International Airport. The title alone is nearly as long as the 54-page book, a staggering work of genius that is not really a book but more a bigger-than-a-pamphlet collection of The Pig's weekly "El Toro Airport Watch" columns that ran in the Weekly in 1997. It was put out by Project 99, the anti-airport group fronted by

  Film Screening: Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, 7:30 p.m.Hunter S. Thompson was the pioneer of a style he called "Gonzo" journalism, a style where he would emerse himself into the story so much that he, himself would become a character in it--gun in hand, cigarette holder dangling from his lips.

• Twitter to Be Used to Contact Michael Jackson, Other Dead Folks

  "I see dead celebrities."​Twitter has many uses: spreading important information and breaking news. Seeing super-awesome iPhone pictures from concerts that we're attending. Letting us know when Ashley Tisdale is getting her hair done. But now the limits of Twitter's power will truly be tested, as a UK costume shop will be using it on October 30 to raise the dead (cue ominous music!).
