FEAR AND SELF-LOATHING IN LAS VEGASExactly three years ago, Sasha Frere-Jones — then the culture editor at The Daily — sent me and reporter Zach Baron to Las Vegas. Our mission: to follow in Hunter S. Thompson’s footsteps 40 years later, and report on what happened to the American Dream in the intervening years.Our piece — which previously disappeared into the Great Cache in the Sky along with The Daily — has been resurrected on Longform.org, along with tons of previously unpublished photos.It’s a long read — as good reads often are — so grab a drink, plop yourself in a cushy chair, and enjoy our stories of fear & self-loathing: http://reprints.longform.org/fear-and-self-loathing-in-las-vegas-zach-baron -- source link
