I went to a small liberal arts school in New Jersey, Fairleigh Dickinson. What did you read?

hey Agnes, where did you go to school? I also took a course called Creative Non-Fiction (though we never read Hunter S. Thompson) at Evergreen in Olympia, WA.

And by “Shorthand”, you mean “The same 20 songs everyone uses to portray the 60s.”

I thought the intercutting of Bush/Iraq and Vietnam/Nixon to be the dictionary definition of heavy handed, and the utter mass of use of other documentaries and fiction film to be a stark admission that the material had been well-covered before.

It was the closing night film at the San Francisco International Film Festival and it was sponsored by Vanity Fair (Graydon Carter is one of the producers).

These are the photos I took at the screening and party

It will be interesting to see how it does theaterically.

HST does have a loyal following, but I’m not sure if July 4th was the best time to release it (other than the symbolism).
