nerdspotting, gawker, gonzo: the life and work of dr. hunter s. thompson, graydon carter...

Old media figure Graydon Carter spotted at San Francisco premiere of old media

Vanity Fair, which is a New York-based operation distributing expert-written content on biodegradable media — a "magazine" — via premium subscriptions and bricks-and-mortar partners known as "newsstands," is sponsoring the West Coast premiere of Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Gonzo is being displayed on a screen considerably larger than any made by Samsung or Panasonic — using a technology which does not require any LCDs. Our spies snapped a photo of Vanity Fair's chief content officer, Graydon Carter, entering the specially designed facility. Much like Apple does with iPods and Macs, Vanity Fair is expecting a "halo effect" from its sponsorship of this screening to boost sales of its "magazines." (Photo by jacksonwest)

Graydon Carter is ALL ABOUT the steampunk. Have you seen his hair? His wardrobe?

Just to be clear: Gonzo is a documentary film based on the recently-released Wenner-edited oral history of HST, right?

It's not a Smell-O-Vision CD-ROM or something like that, is it?
