“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” — Hunter S. Thompson
I’m basically reading out pages from my notebook at this point.
Which, funnily enough, is how Hunter S. Thompson accidentally created Gonzo journalism. Except his notes were much better.
This is something I scribbled about Gonzo journalism. Not an explanation so much as what writers can steal from it. Which turns out to be quite a lot.

Chapter 23 by James Garside. A regular series of irregular thoughts. Could be anything. Mostly rants. Warning: May contain traces of sarcasm. Chapter 23 is a multimedia project by James Garside. Journalist, Author, Writer. Part-time vagabond, full-time grumpy arse. Would you care for a cup of tea? I write about everything from art, culture, and politics to tech, travel, and the occult. Sometimes in ways that get me into trouble. I’m also funny — I probably should’ve led with that. I help writers and artists to do their best work. Let’s be part of each other’s stories.
