Heath's Beach - Depp's Tribute to Ledger

Johnny Depp has named a beach on his 45-acre private Bahamian island after the late “Dark Knight” star Heath Ledger. Depp named a patch of water on Little Hall’s Pond Cay “Heath’s Place,” he told the July issue of Vanity Fair. The isle features six beaches named after Depp’s partner, Vanessa Paradis, and their children, Lily Rose, 10, and Jack, 7, as well as his mentors, Hunter S. Thompson and Marlon Brando.

Gonzo Board Game

The late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson’s most enduring work is getting a new lease on life, courtesy of Los Angeles-based “freelance designer” Jonathan Baldwin’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: The Board Game. The one-of-a-kind piece recreates the trip from Baker to Barstow and into the main nerve of the American Dream with activities, challenges and – of course – illicit substances.
The whole she-bang comes packaged in a suitcase that very clearly recalls the “serious drug collection” that precipitates the events of both the 1972 novel/memoir and director Terry Gilliam’s 1998 film adaptation. And it’ll only run you thirty-five hundred bucks.

The Gonzo Tapes

Released as a five-disc set boasting over 100 tracks of audio recordings from Duke's vault, taken specifically between the years 1965 and 1975, The Gonzo Tapes: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is an extensive listen: extensive, but exhaustive in every sense of the word. While Thompson was on his assignments, whether it was on location for Rolling Stone or during a phone call with his editor, he documented everything; muttering thoughts onto cassettes haphazardly as his pill-propelled mind raced, before coming down to earth and typing his notes into fully realized stories. more HERE
